my neighbors probably think I am crazy.
every half hour I'm running out to the mailbox to see if there is a package waiting in there for me. nope. It's only been a couple weeks since I bought my loose Greek Sunlight so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another week to get here, but I can't wait. I'm so excited for her to arrive!
Later today, I'm headed out to IKEA to find some more pony shelves. I've never had enough room, and quite a few ponies have always lived a box life, but even my girls that I have room to put out, are starting to live in pretty tight quarters. and I have 8 ponies on the way, so I definitely need the extra room. One day they will all have a spot on the wall, but right now i have to be selective, so only ponies in complete sets will be displayed. As I complete sets, more shelves will be bought!
EDIT:
the shelves i wanted were out of stock!! sad. they won't have any more in for 3 weeks!! 3 weeks!

Brazil Sunlight and Brazil Butterscotch
I just won an auction for 2 Brazilian ponies!!!
one is Butterscotch. and she is lovely.
the other is Brazil Sunlight!!!
she is GORGEOUS!! look at those symbols, they are perfect!! and...that means I now have a shy pose Sunlight from every country that she was ever made in. To really complete my collection, I still have to find a France Sunlight and an Italian Sunlight...both of which I already have, but they were also released in those countries with freckles and mine have none. I really think that my 2008 goal of completing my SP Sunlight collection might actually be a reality.

Collector Pose Bowtie and Applejack
finally!
I bought these lovelies almost a month ago and they arrived today, after much fretting on my part. This is the second time, different sellers though, that I have bought these 2 ponies and the first time I sent them back to the girl because they were moldy and missing hair...eww. So as the days and weeks went by and I still didn't find them sitting in my mailbox, I started to think, maybe I am not supposed to own these ponies...
At first I was expecting them to take a bit longer because they came from the Netherlands, but then another pony from another seller in the Netherlands that I bought 2 weeks after, came a week before! So I thought for sure something was wrong. Anyways, they are here, safe and sound, and gorgeous.

what a nightmare!!
the people who occupied this house before us decided that it would be awesome if last fall they raked all the leaves into piles and then...left them. thank you, you are jerks.
me and matt worked for hours yesterday and I worked for quite a few this morning all ready and it still looks terrible. I love yard work, but this is ridiculous. I can't wait until it's all pretty again. it's my mission of the summer for sure. To make matters worse, we have a double corner lot, which will be amazing once it is inhabitable, but it is massive to clean. I went up the block yesterday and we are THE WORST house on the block. In fact, all the other yards look great. The next worse to ours is our neighbors and it appears that it might just be leaves and mess from our yard blown over on to their yard from the wind. how embarrassing. So far, 30 GIANT garbage bags of leaves. yikes.
here are a few 'before' pictures. and these aren't even the real 'before' before pictures. these are the pictures I took this morning after me and matt put in so much work yesterday. I wanted to post them so that when I post pictures in a month or so, you can be astounded at the difference. We moved into this house so that Madeleine could have a yard to play in and I am determined to make this mess playable. My dreams of having a garden in the back might have to wait until next summer by the looks of it, but I am going to try.
