After school snack

I am a happy lady today. As I write this blog post I am snacking on some pretzels that I am smothering in French's yellow mustard(since 1904).  Is there really any other after school birthday snack that is better??? 
( Peanut butter and apples...maybe...)

okkk So I started writing a blog post but then I got side tracked and was having a hard time eating and typing.  I ran out of socks and I knew if I did not rush over to put a load of laundry in there was a good chance I would not get clean clothes hanging up to dry overnight.  As I was saying I had a great afternoon snack! Compliments of my birthday package from Brad. What a morning I had! Woke up and had some coffee and opened my birthday present over skype distracting Brad from working hard on a Monday morning!  I got pretzels, mustard, gummy bears, 2 fantastic cards, some killer chapstick, and a NANO touch screen Ipod!!! I don't deserve any of that!! Brad, Brad, Brad you have out done yourself, AGAIN. THANK YOU BABU!!!!

After distracting Brad from work I got another skype call from MOM and DAD! Singing happy birthday!!!  I was spoiled rotten today! They also sent me some love but Thailands silly customs kept it from me and will try to deliver it again tomorrow. Mother and DOTP thanks for singing to me this morning and making out 25 years ago!  If it was not for you two love birds, well....

Today all my classes were great, had a wonderful lunch from a Deli on campus. Some of my classes sang to me and brought me even more Thai treats!!  Turning 25 in Thailand has been wonderful!  This weekend was quite the production, as expected. Jazz bands, happy hours, pub dinners, cramped cab rides, late nights and a few of us over using the excuse..."uh, it's our birthday"

Just as I was winding down my day to go find Erin and trick her in to painting my nails using the "but it's my birthday" and finding Eleanor because she had a birthday fairy with my name on it..I got a call. "A. Rachel you have a mail box!"  Which means....come down to the front desk you have a package. KIA AKA my raton, partner in crime had sent me a birthday package. Wait for it....wait for it....WHOLE FOODs TRAIL MIX.
Complete with chocolate covered raisins, yogurt raisins, almonds, cranberries...heaven. I would call it something else but it would be inappropriate. THANK YOU KIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God golly I can't wait to drink wine with you. I miss you!

I know I have always said how happy I am to have skype, but it really is wonderful!  I got to see Mom, Dad, Amy, Brad, Brittney, Rach, Sugy..and gchat and FB chat with other friends and family. Thank goodness for technology.

Even more thankful for all the wonderful people I have in my life.
