The Presents Coming to Use

I got many great presents for my birthday last week. Among them were:

• From Hannah: An Obama shirt, a bag of black licorice (yummy!), a photo of me and her, a photo album of camping, an Irish button, and a CD of the amazing video she made!
• From relatives: 2 $25 iTunes cards, money
• From other friends: 3 earrings, 5 mini-hand-sanitizers, Julia Child's book, Julia Child's cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," a cute set of tablespoons, and "Catching Fire"
• From Mom and Dad: A "Stay Fresh" shirt, and the Mary Poppins 45th Anniversary Edition DVD

I've gotten much use out of all of them, I've watched Mary Poppins about 3 times over, I've started Catching Fire, I've bought a bunch of songs on iTunes, I've put the money in my wallet, I've worn 2 of the 3 earrings, I've worn the Obama shirt and the Stay Fresh shirt! They are all AWESOME!!!

Thanks so much everyone!!

Whew, I need to shop!!

Today a few hours ago I tried on clothes for what felt like HOURS. A bunch still fit, but it is clear that I need to go shopping. Mostly for shoes. But I probably have about 10-15 lbs of clothes to give to charity!!! Yippee!!!

I finished unloading my suitcase yesterday. There was a lot of laundry. A LOT.


Bye for now!!!
