Surprise....


I love Kinder Surprise Eggs.
I'm spending the week in Toronto. The number one thing I love about Canada is that they don't have silly laws about hiding toys inside of Candy like we do down in the lower 49.

Last night I bought a box of 3 just so I could assemble the toys.
Now... what to do with the chocolate????

Assembly Required



I've discovered that I really like assembling things and following instructions. 2 weeks ago I bought a bunch of stuff from you-do-it to solder circuits that light LEDs. This weekend I put together a closet organizer. I even modified the out of the box instructions and arranged the clothing bars in a new configuration.
Maybe its the unpackaging, the sorting and taking inventory of all the parts, seeing things come together or just the sense of accomplishment, but I find it very therapeutic and calming. I hope to assemble more things in the near future. I wish I could make a living out of it, or find some like minded individuals (no train enthusiasts though;).
Who makes those drawings anyway?
