Oh, JUST when I needed it,
a lovely box arrived from my Secret pal!
Lookee here...
The soy silk *phoenix* is absolutely luscious,
and just begging to be knit into something
Dumbledore-ish.
sigh. (No spoilers, Nathania, no worries!)
Next, an adorable little pouch in my fave shade of LIMEADE
with Burt's Bees goodies tucked inside.
How could she have known about my fondness for that
Almond Milk Beeswax hand creme? PLUS, strawberry lip gloss...
which took me RIGHT back to high school
and Center Quad....
oh, sorry.
Where was I?
Ah, yes....the snackage!
Those peanuts are AMAZING. Just Peanuts, butter, sugar, and salt....
but Just the Ticket for when you Need something SWEET!
Thank you, THANK YOU, Secret Pal....
and Carson loved the note. I had to read it to him three times
he liked it so much!
Which brings me to what KATY pointed out in the comments.
Yes, I have become one of THOSE ladies.
You know the ones...with three poodles and a siamese cat,
surrounded by my knitting and my books,
I'm wearing progressive lenses and shawls I knit myself.
The big Five0h is just around the corner
(book em Dano!)
and I've never been happier!
Knit ON, peeps!
Nah, it's not really around the corner, grrlfriend! And you're only as young as you feel and act, which surely would put you decades away from 5-0. Love the gifties ~ any hints as to Pal's locale from the products? XXO

Hey! Where's the Siamese cat? Have you been holdng out on me? ;-)
The big 5-0 is two corners away from me. I've decided when it hits that I will do whatever I want whenever I want and damn the consequences.
You may remind me of that when the time comes.
