wasabi soy almond, anyone?

So the way to this girl's heart is through an assortment of flavored nuts. Whoa, that sentence sounds a bit weird. Eh, I'm not going to delete it. You see, I received the best care package ever today. Ev-er. And nestled among all the lil' treats was a new treat: wasabi soy alonds. Um, yum. These are dang good. Good call Mom and Emi!

The rest of the parcel was jammed-packed with love notes and things that make me happy and colors that make me sing.
All good things, such as:
textured.tights.and.family.photos.and.itunes-moolah.and.gold.earrings.
and.manhattan.plumb.nail.polish.and tapatio.(big.yay.).and.tabasco.too.
and.corn.tortillas.(mexican.food.is.sorely.missed.in.deutschland!).
and.a.'pegasus.crossing'.sign(not.lying.--.thanks.meltita!).
and.even.a.funky.vintage.ring.from.my.grandma's.jewelry.box. <-- [that may be my favorite surprise out of everything].

Plus, if that all wasn't enough, there was this major outpouring of love from family and friends and friends who really should just be called 'family'. Thanks to all! Seriously though, your notes (and good taste in stationary!) made my month. That's right. They didn't just make my day. They made the whole month shine brighter -- and it's already been a very bright month. And, it's not even over yet...

I might not be able to share my wasabi soy almonds with you, but I do send my love and gratitude and good thoughts through this blog. I'll write back to ya' now too -- hooray for new pen pals and the best birthday package ever.

Vielen dank'!
