The Pink Slip

My mailbox had a pink slip in it today. Oh how glorious! Care Packages have to be the greatest thing ever! I got one today in the mail from dad. I was so excited. It made me feel really good. Other than a Valentine's card from my grandmother :) this was the first mail I have received all semester. I LOVE mail... and I love packages! This package contained a random assortment of items. There were two freaking tight water bottles from REI! My dad couldn't decide on one, so he sent me both! There was a card that said "Happy Easter my SON!" Initially I was offended, then I laughed a lot. My dad would do something like that. Ha. It was great. There was some money (which is always appreciated) and some stamps so I can continue sending things to my dear friends! It was so cool. However, there were some down sides. This particular care package was filled with candy! Mike and Ike's (my absolute favorite), dark chocolate (also a favorite), some M&Ms and a snickers. If I had received this last week I would have been over joyed, however, I started my diet this week! :( It is completely awful staring at these temptations. My dad feels kinda bad considering he sent this before I decided on my diet. It is ok though... I will allow myself small tastes everyday just to get my fix, and not put all this candy to waste :)! I can only have very small amounts, so this candy should last a long time! Ha.

My dad also sent me another package. I will be getting it on Thursday. Apparently it is pretty awesome, but I have no idea what to expect. My dad is really excited for me to get it... and is loving how much this is driving me crazy! Ha. I'll post about the mystery package on Thursday.
