It is time to stop Whining, Su

Two days ago, I was crashed out on my couch, feeling the worst effects of a horrible fever. The Little Girl was on the floor in front of me, contently playing with her Lego. I was feeling way too sorry for myself. *This is so unfair! It's beautiful out.... I don't wanna be sick!* And I would have been stomping my feet on the ground, if this did not jostle the rocks that seemed to be grinding in my head.
So, there I was, lying pathetically on the couch, when my husband and Big Girl came home.
"Mum, mum!! There's a parcel for you!"
You see, parcels are a rarity. We hardly ever get parcels, unless it is a birthday or Christmas.
Foggy brained, I could not figure out who the parcel was from.
"It's from Australia", my man was trying not to be too curious, you see. He probably had ten questions that were being reigned in.

Australia? Who......?
Oh! Then it clued in. It was from Cassie of Cassie's Cuddles! You see, I took part in My Mama Made It's Gift Exchange, and Cassie had emailed me a couple of weeks ago to tell me that she sent her package.

OK, let me show you what she sent. You will be amazed!!

I can't even begin to list all the things she backed into that cute little suitcase.

She even sent a handmade pin cushion! It was as though she read my mind and knew that I would need one to replace the ratty one that I had.

And did you notice all the fabric she included? Oh man.... I just love them!


You must have noticed the chocolates and vegemite as well.

I'm keeping the chocolate safe until I'm over this cold. That way, I can enjoy the yummy goodness of that treat. However, I did try a vegemite sandwich. Hehe... got that song playing in your head yet? You know, I come from the land down under..... oh, stop rolling your eyes at me ;)
I can't tell if I like it or not. I think this cold has dulled my sense of taste. I tasted saltiness and bitterness.

Needless to say, Cassie's surprise shook me right out of my sorry state. In fact, I even had a wonderful time teaching my yoga class yesterday. I sounded like the sexiest Asian Marlene Dietrich evah! Um.... if you can imagine how that sounds like.

So, thank you, Cassie, for your generous gift.
