presents!!!

Can I just say an amazingly huge THANK YOU to everyone who has mailed me things lately? My friend went to Ouaga this past weekend and brought me back my mail, and I've been smiling for three days straight. I had frosting for my birthday, chocolate for several meals, disgustingly fake and completely delicious orange mac and cheese for dinner tonight, and vogue. And beautiful cards my grandma painted and a letter written on birch bark that are now decorating my walls. Seriously, I'm so grateful.
