Four amazing mixes have arrived from Aidenn, Hey Lucy, Katey, and Bethany. I have been listening to them non-stop since they have been arriving and it has been completely refreshing to have some new and fabulous music playing these last few days. You ladies are the queens of music mixing; I grovel at your feet. Thank you, thank you!
Kathryn brought me a lovely collection of Philosophy Grace goodies and not one, not two, but three birthday cards. Even though we see each other several times a week and live less than 5 miles apart, Kathryn and I often send each other funny or stylish greeting cards. On her last birthday I couldn't choose between two cards and so I gave her both. Apparently she could not choose between three this year for me. Her son, Drew, also made me a card bringing the total to four cards and then I found another card from her in the mailbox, bringing the total card count to five cards from Kathryn in a single day.
It was Kathryn's sister, Carrie, who sent me that adorable felt birthday cupcake!
The weirdest gift I received this year was a box of straws. A Costco-sized box of straws. As in: 500 straws, minus a handful. It came from a student and went like this:
Student: Happy Birthday, Mrs Wallace! Yo, I got you a box of straws!
Me: Nice. And where did you get these straws?
Student: Cafeteria.
Me: You stole them from the cafeteria?
Student: Well, they locked the window and forgot to put them inside.
Me: So they left them out and you took them?
Student: Yeah. Pretty much.
Me: Uh, thanks?
And, finally, the Nikon D70s in action:
The camera and I are just getting to know each other, but I can already tell that I am in love.

Oh, have fun with the D70s. I got a D50 for Christmas, and I love it.
And keep an eye on your mailbox. ;)
