M(Monkey)D, KIL, and the ever present guardian: Thank you so much for your latest gifts. It’s sad, I know, that it takes presents to make me write in my blog — but as many of you know, my summer class (that I wanted to drop, but certain parental figures made me stick it through) is kicking my butt backwards and forwards. I also have been busy planning a party for some other parentals in my life, as well as attempting to enjoy some part of my summer. As always, I can not do it all (I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but yet, I am…). My schedule has gone to shit in a hand basket, all plans of podcasting have practically diminished from my sight, and yet — my ever patient loving clients still find it in their hearts to spoil me and lure me out… Well, you did it. Thank you so much. For the calls, for the emails, for the little reminders that you’re still waiting for calls, for your acceptance of my unreliable schedule. Thank you for your friendship, for your twitters, for your yahoo messages, for … well… just for YOU. And yes, thank you to those of you who tip me really well (even if it is in the form of bribes… lol!) and take the opportunity to spoil me ever so rotten by way of my wish list. I’ll update my thank yous in my amazon wish list one day soon — but you all know who you are. The lunch box for school (yay!!) the piano books, the books and movies and duvets and pillows for my MERMAID room, for the piggy banks and book of month club membership, for the “can’t sleep — here are some dvds to sleep by” gift basket, and for the bath bombs, make up kits, and eyeshadow palettes I so enjoy playing with – THANK YOU so much for making my days that much brighter and for keeping me in your thoughts even when I’m not around ‘physically’ to keep you company.

You’ve all made me a very, very happy girl.

Talk soon!
