Of course, nobody in the world knows me like my mom.
I got a little bit of candy...not enough to make me a fatty, but who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter? Yummm, and dove chocolates. I love the messages inside. I wonder what it'd take to get a job writing those?
A copy of one of my favorite musicals of all time! Who doesn't love Barbra? Well, I have to say, her music isn't really my scene, but I think she's hilarious on film. When she belts something, its so amazing. I wonder why she changed her name from Barbara to Barbra? It's kind of a silly change. If my name was Barbara, I wouldn't just take out an A--while I was at it, I'd just change my whole name. But, good for you, Barbra. If you haven't seen it, watch this one and Funny Girl, too. It's a good time.
In case you haven't noticed, I love old movies. I've never seen this one, but I do love Lawrence Olivier--after all, he married Vivien Leigh and she's pretty sweet, too. I'm looking forward to watching this one! There's something just so classic and enduring about an old movie--the movies I see in theatres today just don't have that kind of enduring appeal. I like old Hollywood glamor and this totally does it for me. My mom knows me so well. Who else would know to pick this for me?
Some super fun Valentine's Day gifts are the ones that come completely by surprise. Last week at the law school, one of the student organizations was selling Valentine's (so elementary school and so cute!) for proceeds to benefit the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center. I got one from my study buddy, Claire, who just so happens to be niceness incarnate. And also very funny.
On the back, she wrote this silly little message. Whenever we're in a class together, we always join study groups together. Usually, it's just us two. So far, we've taken three classes together--Agricultural Law, Business Organizations, and Family Law--and so far, we've had three As. Not bad for a couple of girls, huh?
Dear Claire: I never, ever want to take an exam without you, either.
Of course, her middle name is NOT really Rampage. But it is funny. When Andy refers to Claire, he just calls her Rampage. Usually, " 'ol Rampage."
The Valentine also came with a couple little candies and a cute bag with hearts on it. What a surprise! And how fun!
I hope everyone else is having a great Valentine's Day! Isn't it so nice when other people think of you? It's also fun to think about other people--Andy was really pleased when the package I sent him got to his house. (Although, I was a little annoyed--the post office said it'd be delivered today, and it came on Saturday! Who would've thought you could count on the post office to deliver things BEFORE schedule? Certainly not me.) He said the card was adorable and he was really excited about the chocolate too--much more excited than I would have thought, considering what a small present it really is.
I woke up this morning to a text message from him and I'm sure that, when we see each other again this weekend, we'll make up for having to spend today apart. Eat some chocolate and enjoy the company of people you love. Or, if you're stuck 350 miles away from all the people you love, like me, eat some extra chocolate and watch a sappy movie. Enjoy, the time to be shamelessly sappy comes but once a year!
