Upwards

Things are looking up, thankfully. For one, I've gotten a lot accomplished in the last 48 hours, and that always improves my mood. For two, things are racing along at work... I think that is helpful as they were dragging a bit last week. For three, I got two packages at the post office, and who doesn't love that?

One package was an exchange from a gift my mom had gotten me at Christmas. She had bought me a new bra, but it was too small and I asked her to get a size bigger. Holy moly am I glad I did! Back pain, begone! It has seriously improved my life in so many ways. I swear I have gained at least a kilo in each breast. And I really didn't need expansion in that arena.

The other package was from my best friend in New York. She's my travel buddy -- with whom I adventured throughout Southeast Asia and survived the India 2006 debacle. At the end of our India trip, we agreed that our next destination would be Mexico -- still reasonbly cheap but right-next-door should we need to escape town quickly. Unfortunately, I will not be travelling for awhile, so when she got the opportunity to head south for the winter, she took it.

And sent me this. Because she's hilarious. With a note that said "Buena suerte."

That thing is frightening. I mean, the baby is literally half the size of the mom. She's given birth to a six year old!

That's funny! I can't wait to see all the interesting paraphenalia surrounding the day of the dead when we go to Mexico. It will sure be a change from the French Toussaint! I think I'm going to fall in love with this holiday.
