heathergems are cool, like heathers

well, after spending most of the day messing my site up, i think i have it all back in place now. i’m still befuddled as to why my nifty drop-shadows are all screwy in internet explorer, but i shouldn’t be surprised that things are screwy in ie by now. i’ve also acquired much more respect for mismatched divs.
the absolute best part of my day came when i arrived home to a package in my mailbox. anytime i open that little door to find a puffy envelope, i know my spirits are going to be lifted. this time, it was all thanks to my friend i, jack (real name withheld because he might have some reason for the pseudonym other than being clever).

all the way from scotland!

i mean, really, how perfect is this for me? jewellry made from the pressed & dyed stems of scottish heather. it’s actually kind of fascinating and very unique. i bet i’m the only person you know who has heathergem jewellry!
i actually started to cry when i opened it and read the little note included. i feel very honoured to have such a thoughtful and generous friend in him. blessings abound!
so, you’re all clamouring as to what my little surprise was, huh? i wish i could report i’d won the lottery or been “discovered” and i’m on my way to fame and fortune. nope. none of the above. i’m still a wage slave and part-time student. but a wage slave and part-time student who did some kissing with a cute boy.
as reported, it was pretty unexpected. when he came over, the last thing i thought would happen would be lip-locking. i guess that’s why it was so neat. one second we’re talking about hard drives, the next his hand are on my hips and we’re smooching. ahh, smooching.
am i too old to get all giddy-stupid when a boy kisses me? i certainly hope not!

    Just discovered your blog and will explore more, but this post caught my eye and I couldn’t resist complimenting you on the beautiful new necklace. I have a heathergem from Scotland also, from many, many years ago. Enjoy.
