Peeps Care Package
I got a care package today! It had some nice warm socks, some pajama pants, some American deodorant, some shelf-stable bacon, a card, and….Peeps. Peeps? Peeps. Strawberry Creme Hearts and Chocolate Mousse Bears, to be specific. (Who knew they did flavors and non-animals now? Or that the website would have questionable background music?) Yup. My mom, the best mom in the world, who also happens to read this blog, clearly thinks I’m someone else. Someone who eats Peeps. (I did enjoy microwaving them once.) It’s cool – I’ll use them as prizes in class. Oh, I can’t wait to see their faces fall once they bite into their prize…and realize it’s not how they thought it’d be. Ha ha. 
I already made them try root beer this week after a trip to an import store during my 40 minute transfer in Okayama on the way home from Tottori. I love my job. (But…for the record…I don’t love Peeps…) And in case anyone’s keeping score, this package is still a 100% success. I mean, bacon, guys. What else is there, really? 
Oh – and if you’re curious why you got a quick and easy blog post today, here’s why.
