a few days ago a small package arrived from an unknown address. I opened it up, and it was a cram cream mushroom kitchen timer that my mom had bought off the internet for me and had it shipped directly to my house in maryland. I was having a bad day (homesick) a few weeks ago, and she told me that she just wanted to find something that would make me feel better. I was seriously so excited and blown away when I saw what it was, because I have no idea how my mom even found out what cram cream was! the woman did her research! :) i have the best mom ever.

thanks again, mom :) i love you.

continuing on filling in my right arm :) it’s just a traditional style book. i wanted it to look like an old library book, but it reminds me of a harry potter book, or some sort of magical book. hahaha. i like it a lot! tom kenney did it for me. i wanted the book because i really like to read, and i think there is such power in written word. its really one of the few ways that peoples ideas live on past their mortal bodies, and words give so much to people… knowledge, entertainment, instruction, comfort. i just think its powerful, i guess. :)
