lovin' the loot ladies!

wednesday
i get a little me time
right after work
for about an hour
it excites me!
so imagine how excited i was
when i got home
all by myself,
a package waiting just for me!
from
(i will update this link soon...
her mr. linky went on the blinky!)

i was paired up with carrie
she is great
and i am suspecting she knows me...
like really, really well!
you see, she sent her favorite things to me
but, um, they are my favorite things!
and she had no way of knowing that!

let me show you!
when i opened the box
there were directions...cute!
she told the order in which
to open things

she also said
she wished
she could watch me open them...
so i covered that with a pic
taken myself, as i was home alone!

here are the goodies before opening:










here is me relishing in our favorite things!


and here is a close up of the loot!












now, you be the judge...
does she know me or what?!

package #1: starbucks card...
and she recommends
the ONLY drink i ever get from there!
yep, a grande white chocolate mocha!
and she says
the pumkin cream cheese muffin is good!
i will let you know!

speaking of pumpkin:
package #2:
she told me about how she loves
everything pumpkin, except pie
OMG! same here...i can eat
pumpkin anything...
just not the pie please!
so she gifted a pumkin reed diffuser!
smells yummy!

package #3:
how did she know i have an addiction:
hi, my name is lori
i have an addiction
to burt's bees lip balm!?
she apparently has the same issue!
many tubes of it
can never find one when you want it
so i am stoked to have another!
(and, um, she will be excited too...
when she gets hers! hee hee!)

package #4:
sour, sour, and more sour!
that's how i roll!
she came through in a big way!
sour.patch.kids.
i love her for them!
(and so does the son,
who keeps sneaking some!)

package #5: drum roll please!
she handmade a bee-uuuu-tee-ful
scarf!
i now have four that i wear, um,
a lot
in fact, people notice
how much i like scarves
this one is divine!
(and, did i mention...
it is our local h.s. colors? neat!)
i have had it on all evening!

what can i say? carrie rocks!
thanks carrie!
