your life is never dull in your dreams

i cackle fiendishly as i put the finishing touches on the package i am sending to melissa. everything didn't work out quite as i had intended, but overall it would probably be fun to open and play with.

as i'm laboriously applying the stamps needed to satisfy the canadian postal system, the phone begins to ring.

i stare at it in disbelief.

"hello?"

"halooooo!" from across the distance echoes in my ears.

my marmee was calling to tell me that she had found my cds, all of them that i had left at home. they were in her workroom, sitting on top of the cd player. apparently she had been listening to them for a few days without connecting them to the ones i had "lost" when i was at home for christmas.

she might be a wee bit eccentric, but she's the best mom in the entire world.
