I’m on a private email list with a dozen of so ladies that I’ve known from the old breastfeeding and parenting lists from when Rachel was born. We’ve known each other a decade and half, so we often do Christmas gift exchanges, little birthday packages, etc. A few of us decided to fix up some Valentine’s Day gifties, and so in spite of the snow, this arrived today!
I’m speechless.
- Lip chapstick (needed for work!)
- Hand lotion
- Conversation hearts
- Teeny tiny little heart-shaped eraser
- Caramel heart (yum!)
- Russell Stover heart-box of chocolates
- M&M Queen of Chocolate
- Lovely netted bag of even more chocolates!
- Pirate Booty (a bit of salt to go with all that sweet)
- Cute little flower-to-grow in a tiny pot (going to work)
- Very cool rubber ducky that lights up when I touch the bottom, and then it CHANGES colors!!!
But the most wonderful, that brought tears to my eyes… a CD holder FILLED FILLED FILLED with music. AND a handwritten note saying who her favorites were and why.
I really am verklempt. To be showered like this is really, truly wonderful. My heart it touched… thanks, special friend (you know who you are!).

You so deserve it. :)
