Mother Knows Best

So this morning right as I was getting ready to leave, JFC came up with a big box that had been left on our front step...a package from my mom for my birthday. My birthday which isn't for another week and a half, but I just couldn't wait to open it. First off she sent me these cute cute cute shoes...which she said reminded her of me. I don't know about you, but I really love when someone happens upon a gift like this that they know is perfect for you. It just shows how well someone knows you..and I don't know, its just special. I love love love them. I have already been wearing them all day, hence the smudged toes.

Next up is the yarn I asked for. I ran out of it in the middle of a sweater...literally the middle...I have the front and one sleeve done. I can't wait to finish it now. I dream about the store this yarn came from. In fact I was dreaming about it just last night...and funnily enough in every dream, something happens where I don't quite make it into the store...hmmmm



This card is another really perfect for me kind of card. I laughed for a good 5 minutes. Not only does it fit me, my love of wine, and my awkward dancing to a T...but it also reminds me of my mom...because in those ways...I am a lot like her. (not to mention she tucked a nice little twenty in there for me...heh heh)



Last but not least she sent me the kool-aid I asked for. I have been wanting to dye some yarn, but as far as I know you can't get kool-aid around here. Now mom, I hope you don't mind the teasing...but this was just too good to pass up. Please take a closer look at that packet on the top. Do you see what I see? "Invisible! Clear Drink! Great Fruity Taste!" I think this was funnier than card. I guess I will be drinking that one.



Thanks so much mom...even half a world away...you know how to make me feel special!
