I think it is going to be a good day. I feel good. Plenty of sleep and after work today two of my friends and I are going to go see the movie Couples Retreat. Maybe it will be a mind numbingly ridiculous movie… but adding my friends Suzette and Karol makes that ok. 🙂
What I really want to share today (and I cant wait any more!) is that yesterday afternoon I received a beautiful package in the mail. Just look at it!
Nice huh? It was my Holiday Swap book! It came with a wonderful card and turned out to be a great book off my wish list, The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton! I am seriously jumping up and down! I LOVE this book!
So thank you to my secret Holiday Swap blogger: Helen, from
Helen’s Book Blog!
I am preparing my packages to go out today – I have signed up for The Holiday Swap and The Secret Santa
Book Journey 
Beautiful gift! It’s like the twelve days of Christmas…but, early!
And as for the movie, sometimes “mind numbingly ridiculous” is just what’s called for!
Yes Laurel – I was stunned – when I seen the beautiful wrapping i was trying to think what it was – it was not until I opened it that I realized it was my Holiday Swap gift!
Enjoy your movie today! Mind numbingly can = relaxed with no worries. Those are the best kind of movies.
Thanks Zia – I fully agree!
What a lovely gift. Good friends and a mind numbing movie sounds like a recipe for a good day. Have fun!
Yeah Stephanie – I am in need of a little friend time. 🙂
How beautiful-what a lovely gift. Enjoy the movies for me as I go off to work.
I am on it Esme! 🙂 LOL
I am so excited that you liked the book; I had fun shopping for it!
Thank you Helen! I love it! 🙂
Lovely gift. I haven’t decided if I want to see this movie or not. I’m a huge Vince Vaughn fan pre dumb comedy phase. Let us know what you think of it.
You got it Ryan! 🙂
I’ve not heard of this movie but I hope you will enjoy it! I look forward to all of your reviews and this one looks good too. Secret Santa is so much fun! 🙂
