Awwww!

Just got a Alanis Morrisette CD in the mail all the way from sunny Texas! Yay!

Have i mentioned how much i love getting presents? not just the getting stuff part but the thoughtful little "it's not your birthday but i was thinking about you anyway" piece. My Big Girl is a MASTER at the impromptu "Here's a card i made because you're a nice mom" sappy-tear-inducing momento production. Also, kudos to the friend who just happens to have found the perfect sweater for you in the back of her closet and is passing it along. or the occassional "You like that? Take it!" giftie of, say, a REALLY COOL BAG someone sewed with her very own talented hands.... That kind of "no reason" giving just makes me really happy inside. :-]
