I love the mail.

For us, getting mail isn't just getting bills. It means care packages from home. And we received one of those just yesterday. In it, were some glow sticks. Amazingly, these little things can keep the kids busy for quite some time. I can't quite photograph them in the dark, while they are dancing and screaming and squirming. This is the best I got. But you can tell by their faces that they just love it! Thanks Vicki!


I also just received a gift I bought for myself for Mother's Day. It's a purse from Calvin Klein. I got a beyond amazing deal on it from this place called Rue La La! They have designer merchandise for discounted prices. If you would like to check them out, just click on the link. I'm also pretty psyched that they ship to military APO addresses, that in itself is a reason to shop anywhere. For me.

Mail is good.

Today dh went to the post office. I personally would have gone myself, but alas, I do not have a car. And the post office is no longer in walking distance of where we live. So when he got home from work, he had a package for me. I was a bit puzzled, because I was expecting at least 3 maybe 4. But he went over to his laptop bag and started pulling things out like it was Christmas! I got quite a few!

Here are some of my recent online purchases from New York and Company. First up I bought a brown cardigan button down sweater, with the tank shown in the next picture.

I figured that this color looks much better with the brown. So that's what I got.

Also got this heather gray 3/4 sleeve twist front tee.

And then there were these very cute, must have ankle pants. I got them in black...

And in sand color.

And I'm quite sure this one is my favorite.

Although I bought these things looking at only these pictures, amazingly enough everything fits perfectly! I gave dh a mini fashion show. He too is pleased with the purchases. I guess I kind of had to show him what was in all those bags. Oh and I also got a textured coin necklace from Banana Republic, but I can't get an online pic because they are sold out! Also my camera battery is being recharged right now. Trust me, it's cute!

Oh and a bit of news about our car. It has reached the port this past weekend. Let's see how long it takes for them to get all the "paperwork" taken care of and for them to release it to us. Not going to hold my breath though.
