sometimes i don't think i deserve to have such generous people in my life. the most fabulous and wonderful
jodi chromey sent me the sexxy racing car red fountain pen you see pictured above. i very nearly started to tear up when i opened my mailbox. and i even knew to expect it! i don't know what i'd do if someone were to surprise me with a present. i might just break down completely.
it arrived today, just in time to bouy my spirits. you see, the boy missed his transport to see me. of course, all is not lost, but instead of his arriving tonight he will appear tomorrow morning. at least i'll get one more full-bed night's sleep.
the entire weekend, save two evenings spent with my most fabulous of friends, was used in "operation: company's coming". my entire apartment has gone through a freakishly thorough cleaning. i borrowed meghan's über-vacuum and moved all the furniture to get into every corner and crevice. i scrubbed pretty much every bathroom/kitchen surface, i did window and mirrors, i even cleaned out my freezer and microwave.
i think i may have lost my mind.
now, i'm going to settle down to a nice, well-rounded lunch, read
harry potter and plot all the annoying, rambling letters i'm going to write to people with my sexxy new birthday pen. whee!
your pen looks roughly 239 times sexxier than mine. no fair!
don't be silly. mine has just been manipulated with clever camera angles to enhance its second-place sexxiness.
my problem with the pen photo is that i am completely distracted by the background. the scene out of the window looks like a sunny day in a post-apocalyptic future. and what the heck is that barcode on acid with an ! ? the more i look at it the more freakishly compelling it is.
that's the super-spiffy birthday card jodi sent me with the card. indeed, it does make the photo.
