The Lil bastard...

I finally got my box! I had to give my lil bastard of a box a hug because I went through so much to get this...not to mention how much dinero it cost Teri to send it! I know the picture is dark...but I didn't care I just wanted to rip it open.

I can't tell you how glad I was to see some of the things in that box...green tea. I've been buying some alleged green tea here but it's not even close to green tea, after steeping it looks yellow. So I got a whole divine bag of it, and splenda and like a genius I packed just about everything in ziplocs so I got some of those too. No ziploc bags here and as my family and friends can attest, I am a HUGE fan.

And my art supplies...which have proved to be a nice distraction from my homework so far. I actually had to come to the library at school to get away from them. Oh...I will pet them later. I took all day off yesterday from homework because I haven't actually had one c

omplete day off. I used the time to clean the house, organize all my box stuff and buy some much needed gadgets for the house. I really needed a reading light for next to the bed and I found one that will double as a clip light for photos if I need one. I ended up spending close to 45 minutes in the lighting store just for 4 things. You have to love Italy and the ways of it. I bought a travel alarm and when I got done paying for it he set it, even the alarm for me. How cute is that. He didn't care that someone was waiting...I even got a little tiny discount. Anyways...it was a fun shop with insanely great lighting options. I'm trying to avoid Ikea...as much as I love it I know I'll convince myself I need all sorts of things I really don't need. I might have to go right before Richard comes because having a house guest is a really good rational on getting a few new things....like decent pillows and a bath mat.

I hope everyone that reads this (and the people that don't) are well...happy...and at least enjoying my blog a little...
