Oh my goodness! My husband came in irked with a package from amazon (as he always does if he sees my packages from amazon) and I picked it up to bring upstairs and it was heavy! I was thinking, What did I order? I opened it up to see it was something for me from Santa!!!! My awesome Santa sent me some things from my amazon wish list, which is generally just my fantasy list, because no one has ever sent me anything from my amazon list!

First, I got a cookbook I've been eyeing on Latin American food. I fantasize about cooking more than I actually cook, but one of my sons is Latino, so I've heavily been fantasizing about cooking some Latin food. One of my favorite things to do actually is to sit in bed under the covers reading through cookbooks, so I am super excited to get this one.

Second, I got the Secret Garden coloring book. I've put this in my amazon cart probably a dozen times, but have never been able to justify buying it for myself and have taken it out. So this is SO AWESOME to get as a gift.

Lastly, I got some dark chocolate liquor chocolates -- oh, how I love these. My grandma used to sometimes have these at her house and she and I would eat a few years ago when I was living with her, after I would get home from work. She's no longer with us, but I always think of her when I see these chocolates (I mean, really, who doesn't think of their granny when having some liquor?), and I always want to buy some, but again, it's always hard for me to justify, because how can I buy some mini-shots with delicious chocolate when I should be getting something more practical? So I cannot wait to tear into these (although I'm going to have to ration myself).

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Santa! (I was toying with the idea of opening on Christmas, since I rarely have much to open, but we celebrate Hanukkah too, and I got these the first night of Hanukkah, so that was awesome!
