It was like Christmas morning!

There I was, plugging away at work, settling into my afternoon groove, when I get a tap on the shoulder. My care package from Karin arrived! Woohoo! I was so excited! I had just gotten a call that morning from Karin and told her that I hadn't received my package yet but that I was patiently waiting for it.

It doesn't even matter what's in it. It was just so nice to get something from home and from my sister. Here's the pretty package!


Ok, so it's not the prettiest thing you've ever seen but I was like a kid on Christmas. I could barely contain myself and I think I scared my coworker. So let's see what I got!


Tons of great magazines, a few good books to read, some dvds, and of course Gary had to throw in the latest "now that's what I call music" cd! hahaha. I also got a pretty purple top and a very sweet card from the family. It was a great package and will certainly be used immediately. I LOVED IT. And love my family for putting this together for me. Speaking of my family, I have to give a quick shout out to momma szeto. She sent me the cutest email after I was having a bad day and wrote my "things that annoy me" post. Here's what she wrote to me (keep these things in mind: she never writes emails and English is her third language):

Hi Mae Mae (that's my nickname in Chinese),

It is me again. I saw your Blog "Things that annoy me". I want to say you did good job so funny I love it. I am really enjoy every line you wrote. Every few days I am check on the Blog and show your father let him know your new experience. I am so proud of you.

Love,
Mom

I mean, could she be any cuter? I love my family to bits and these little notes and packages make me miss them SO SO SO much. I'm a lucky gal. And now I get to see what all this Glee hype is about! My sister sent me the first season. Wonder if I'll like it, but I'm sure I will. :) Thanks again for the awesome package!
