shine

oh my gosh.  i came home to a package the other day after work.  A PACKAGE.  do you know what’s better than getting a package you ordered?  getting a package from a kind stranger full of fun things that you DIDN’T order, THAT’S WHAT!!!! my most loyal reader (and the only one i don’t actually know in real life) sent the nicest package ever.  


there was a lovely note and all kinds of BRIGHT YELLOW things.  


she said my blog brightens her day.  this made me feel really good until i remembered that, at the time, the last post i had published was about a dead pigeon, which isn't exactly day brightening material.  

and look!  real art!  signed by the artist! who is the exact person that sent the package!



under the first layer of yellow items was ANOTHER LAYER!!


and that layer included the best pen i've ever seen in my life:


i don't even want to use it because once i start using it, i know it will run out of ink very quickly and then i'll be sad.  however, i really want to be seen using this pen!  imagine the inevitable increase in my popularity!  it's a dilemma.

all the paper products came from this website:

house of shine

which is a place where you go to make other people happy, which, of course, will make you happier, too.  and i can tell you that it works because this cheery little package sure made my day.  thanks, cheryl!

You are so welcome!

I chuckled at the dead pigeon story though just typing that seems wrong. I didn't chuckle that the pigeon was dead though I don't have any strong feelings for pigeons. I generally thing birds are kind of disgusting though I have a doves nest on my grill right now. That's where they built it. We aren't grilling dove. I digress.

I'm pretty sure the pigeon was on a suicide mission.

Anyway- I'm glad you got the package and I'm glad you liked it. :)

You should write a book because you can make dead pigeons funny. and your wit brightens everyones day. glad there are so many thoughtful people out there. I wish I were among them. because that would be so fun to send you a package, but then I get all overwhelmed just thinking about it. cheryl gets the prize as best blog follower. :)

cheryl, i'm glad you clarified because i truly thought you were grilling a dove's nest and i thought that sounded disgusting!

anna, i understand that overwhelming feeling. i often feel that way about doing the dishes.
