So this gift was nothing short of awesome. Are you a find reader? Did you plumb the depths of my soul while I was sleeping?? My SS told me she was excited to buy for a woman after two years of buys for guys. And she went all out...

*Two books -- one by one of my favorite authors, Rainbow Rowell, and PURPLE copy of Jane Eyre! One of my very favorite classic books in my favorite color. *Coloring Bookmarks of Cities of the World....bam bam bam BAM! Coloring! Bookmarks! Geography! Travel! Perfection. Can't wait to color and use these! *Little Notecards to give to friends and family....I love doing this and it will bring joy to those around me = one of my favorite pastimes. :-D *Nail polish in all my favorite colors...one of which I am rocking right now! *A selection of awesome gifts for my daughter--two books and a doll, a super cute outfit, and little stuffed elephant!

and the Best Thing Ever... A Perler Bead Companion Cube framed with the lyrics of "Still Alive" in the background. Not only is this one of the best closing credits songs of any video game ever...but it was one of the songs that got my through the pain and frustration and weirdness of doing IVF to have my daughter, C. I particularly identified with the line "I'm doing science and I'm still alive." I felt like a walking science project, and somehow this song helped me to be able to laugh at everything I was experiencing. So it was the gift that brought me to happy tears. I couldn't think of anything more perfect.

THANK YOU! You killed it!
