Funky Cat Studio

Okay, I forgot to post this.  I thought it was pretty cool.

Last year, Mollie’s group of ladies that meet up here at the house every Wednesday for whining and cupcakes (oh yeah, meditation, hugging and naughty jokes!), we decided to go on a bit of holidayish break and meet up again after the new year.  So the last meeting of ‘06 we decided ho do a white elephant gift exchange.

I’d never heard of this before and thought it would be a cool idea.  So when the time popped up to put our names in a basket and pull someone random out to give our gift to, I panicked, realizing I’d forgotten that we were going to do it.  So I ran to my room in search of something to give.  I had no clue what it would be but I knew that I would know it when I saw it.  This story isn’t about the present I gave, but the present I recieved, so I’ll skip to that.

Louise drew my name, and I got some fudge (goodgawdsdrool it was GOOD), and a little book of quotes.  Inside she had written a note to me.  ME.  She KNEW she was going to get my name, randomly drawn from the basket, and had written a memo to me in the book ahead of time!

And I Love quotes! This book, she said, she had for 30 years! O.o Its love related quotes, something I would have never bought for myself, even if it were a penny, or taken home if I found it laying on the side of a street.  But coming from her, it was a priceless gift.  So I’m going to keep it for 30 years then pass it on to the next one who needs it.

Doesn’t it make you wanna go “Awwww!” or maybe just “meh”?

*edit*  I forgot to say that every lady that night seemed to get exactly what she needed at the time.  It was such a nifty feeling.
