i can’t believe i forgot to mention the arrival of my first birthday present for this year.
i got home tuesday and opened my mailbox to find an unexpected package from amazon.com. i knew i hadn’t ordered anything, so i assumed it was something from my wishlist, but i didn’t know who would have bought me anything off of it. i fumbled with my keys and as soon as i’d dumped my bag on the chair i ripped open the box. it was a copy of before sunrise!
i read the note and was so very, very pleased. i’ve since thanked the sender profusely and told them my intention of announcing their generosity to the world. they have nearly begged me not to do such so that others don’t go hounding them about where their unsent birthday presents are. it seems i have to be content with talking about them anonymously which is tough because of the level of joy at being special enough to receive something and then to receive it from this person who is notorious for never getting around to sending anyone anything! i don’t deserve such an honour.
Mad props to the anonymous gift giver! Well, anonymous to the rest of us, anyway. HEather deserves all kinds of presents!
Where the hell if my birthday present!!!!
I’m so glad that you were glad!! :) When is your birthday?
Whoa, talk about giving me heart failure! I was like “but… but… last year her birthday was in JULY!” Then I was thinking I was all confused and it was before my father’s not my mother’s (all birthdays in June or July will forever be cnnected to theirs in my head). THEN I was saying “hrmm… will she notice the card is postmarked May 31st, right after she posted that…”
Whoever sent the present – damn you for giving me heart failure, too! ;)
i’m sorry. =(
muahaha.
