GOOD MAIL!!!

Ok, I have received lots of good mail which is long over due for acknowledgement and appreciation! I love everything and my family has enjoyed much! Thank you so much!

One of my most recent gifts in the mail was from a blogging friend! I thought she was going to send me a Christmas card when she requested my address. I had know idea I would open up a package of goodness. I have to let you know that the candy canes and the boxed candy were open immediately and between the kids and I we ate it! I love the pen and notebook set. I have used it many times already. Thank you so much. You are so thoughtful! I truly appreciate it and love getting to know you, thank you
TRYING TO STAY CALM!

My cousin Leolani sent me these goodies as a thank you for a fun weekend in NC. The true present I am still waiting on is a picture of her sporting her NC t-shirt. LOL, We had a good time and I am so glad you came to visit. Those macadamia nut cookies were divine! and the popcorn crunch!! ONO!

Another friend sent me another thank you for giving them a buddy pass. They had just recently come back from Hawaii and I was able to score on more ISLAND GOODNESS!


Do you know that you can only purchase these macadamia nut hershey kisses from the islands? Yep, they are most delish and I looked it up on line to see where I could buy more.

Another one of my most favorite things to eat is this popcorn!! Warrior loves it too! WE also were sent seeds and mmmmmmmmm... good!


I won a QUILT give away from Mechelle. I got to choose between a "girl" quilt or a "boy" quilt. The colors just sung to my heart. I love everything about a quilt. When I received it in the mail in November. I jumped and hollered and pulled it out of the box and laid all over it! Then I quickly took a picture.



I haven't truly blogged in quite a while but I am so thankful for many things. I am thankful for my family and I am thankful for Mr. Incredible for loving me even in my most ugliest moments! I was a bit grouchy with him for a longer stint than usual. I've been a bit miserable. I am frustrated that I am not able to get my life back in order and on track, and seeing the scale creep up doesn't help. This week things seem to be settling in. I just need to get back on track with some basic things and I think all will be well! I love the season and I love the reason for the season.

How funny!! My sister always brings the same goodies when her and her family visit from Hawaii! She brought us the same bag you have on the left. I forget the name..something mochi..lol. My youngest daughter always calls them "crunchies." She ate the whole bag in two days! My kids though never got into the hurricane popcorn! I just love the coffee she brings me!!

Enjoy your goodies, and it's so good to read a post from you!!!

Lucky you. Those kisses sound yummy. And I love the quilt. I've missed you too. Hope all will be well. I hate my scale and my body that wants to look like my mother's.

It is good to see all of your goodies. I love good mail. Although it has been a while since I have gotten anything. I try to send out something each month. The kisses look yummy! The quilt is so cute so glad you won!

Miranda said...

That quilt is amazing!!! I'm not big on the old fashioned quilts, but the ones with color jump out and make me all warm inside.
Congrats on all your goodies! Yummy!!
Have missed your posts, but it's that time of the year when things are so crazy. Have a good week!
Btw, the Covered Bridge Festival that was mentioned before in a comment is in October. It lasts for about 10 days.

You got all that good mail? You are so loved. Those kisses look so good. Ed brought us back some handmade Hawaiian chocolate with mac nuts in it. It was so delicious. So that would be a great treat. Sorry you have been a little rutty, but I know that you are such a strong person that you will get your swing back. :) Miss you Goosey.

Little GrumpyAngel said...

Lucky Goose! :-) I am so jealous of the macademia Hershey's! I love macademia nuts. Even better when they are chocolate covered. I take my allergy pills (for the milk). make sure my Ephipen is close by then I can stuff my face to my heart's content :-)

Teri said...

SO fun, I like getting fun mail. I never send any though, I should... someday I will. To answer your question about having 3 kids.. yes, I'm sure. I'm NOT doing this again. I get too sick, I'm surprised I'm doing it this time. I laughed at your comment though. We'll just have to take a friend with us to Dland if we don't have twins.. haha.

Bren's Life said...

I have to admit, you made me feel better. I always wonder how you get it all done...I haven't blogged in over a month.

Love you tons...hope you get out of your slump.

Alison said...

I am in the same boat with you on the frustrations and seeing the scale creeping up...I am hoping to get a handle on it also.

Tara Bennett said...

Oooh la la fun stuff!

I don't even think about the scale until after the holidays. No point in setting myselfup for failure!

Carol said...

Wow, you really get lots of great mail!! Can I send you my mail, the bills!! HA!
