Out of the Box!

Now Playing : "Scratch" - Kendall Payne

Sometimes, things just happen in the most ironic and bizarre manner possible. It was 10am, and my crazy mind was busy dreaming up crazy things (let me tell you, it was chaotic in my head up until I woke up) when I was saved by *knock knock*. 

*GROAN*

I wanted to murder the person waking me from my precious slumber. In walks my ma bearing a gift! OOOH! Instantly forgiven! I took the box and tried to read what it was--but if you have ever tried reading small fonts 2 seconds after you've just woken up, it's like trying to read something with great granddaddy's bifocals. 

Wooooooot! Phil's souvenir from Venice has arrived! Tried ripping the box open but someone *smirks* apparently loves to seal packages up so crazily that even a scissors becomes blunt! (LOL okok, obviously exaggerating, but it was hard to open!) Inside, was a very beautiful handmade ceramic miniature mask ornament called a maschera del galeone, apparently popular during the 17th century. (I was actually just expecting a simple small replica of a gondola, but the mask is simply gorgeous!) Here's a picture of me holding it up for the camera!

Don't ask. I was still sleepy. Meh.

Also, included in the box was a(nother *wink) t-shirt from Venice, a copy of Anthony Burgess' The Long Day Wanes (you probably won't see your book again until a couple of years later when I'm done reading it *snicker*) and a lovely card (which has Ian's stamp of approval since he called it "not cheesy like our dad's" LOL!) He stole it from me! You can get back at him next time :P

I simply love the pressies! Thank you so much, Phil! 

*big hugs!*
