5 of 31: giving (and taking)

Today I did nothing. I slept in much later than I should have, packaged up the real batch of Irish beer brownies, met a friend for lunch, hit the sporting good's store for a goggle request, the pharmacy, the post office, the bank and then home. I feel so relaxed.

[contented sigh]

I have to say that I'm mighty proud of the St. Pat's package that was shipped today:

• Lucky Charms
• Irish beer brownies
• Irish Springs soap
• The Leprechaun horror flick trilogy
• popcorn
• Shamrock boxers
• green M&M's
• green clover napkins
• and the norms: gum, clorox wipes, Muscle Milk bars
• oh, right, and the goggles (per request)

It was the most thematic box to date.

On another note, I'm stealing away to Atlanta tomorrow with a friend for a weekend of bonding, IKEAing, H&Ming and three days of distractions, a gift from The Staff Sergeant. On Valentine's day he told me to, "take some money, get a hotel and take yourselves out to dinner on me." So we are.

[he's amazing.]
