roses drawn all over the package! i ripped through layers and layers of tape, man was it secure. :) finally i succeeded!



closeup of the super awesome card. not only did amelia draw all of that, she also SEWED the outlines and boarder with thread. i am seriously impressed.



everything was wrapped beautifully in kraft paper and pink roses with ribbon. this photo definitely doesn't do it justice.



and did i mention this adorable little guy?



after taking tons of photos i finally got to opening the presents. i've admired these pins for a while now and now i have one of my very own! so so cute. :D



this is going to come in handy as the only soap in the family shower at home is"dove men care." smelling like a man is something i generally try to avoid.



closeup of one of the presents so you can see how pretty they all were.



my mom makes popcorn all the time and i always mooch off of her, but no longer!



next i unwrapped a present with a note included, written in such precise handwriting! this is so cool, definitely the most unique ornament i have. and no, it's not too creepy. i am a dexter fan myself. :)



mmmmm bailey's chocolates.



hahhahaha, love it!



"girlfriend in a coma" by douglas coupland. this looks like it's going to be a great read! the back cover compares him to kurt vonnegut--awesome!



i opened the next gift and found this message inside. hehehe



and then flipped over to the front cover...hahahah! according to the description,"The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power. He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who insists he's sane and certainly not a psychopath."



lastly, there is great calendar of oregon. can't wait to move there!



all the flowers :)



tried on the pin today.



and put the ornament on the tree. my sister thinks it would be cool to do one with more body parts hanging. my mom hasn't noticed it yet.



everything all together



thank you so so so much, amelia! i can't believe how much time and thought you put into everything. i had so much fun opening it all and i'm excited to read the books. i think i'll name the cat harold after your favorite movie character. :)]]> Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:01:07 -0600 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:08:12 -0500

i had "la plupart des gens essaient d’aider des autres et les gens se sentent concerné, même si on est un étranger." but i was told the bolded part was the wrong usage.

additionally, how would you say "confident"? does this sentence work,"Cette fille est plus confiante qu’elle et Annie se sent banal est triste en comparaison."?

merci!]]> Fri, 25 Feb 2011 01:57:41 -0600 ]]> Sat, 18 Dec 2010 13:28:11 -0600
