the package

i finally got the package from mom! we went to the post office on Saturday to pick it up. then went to Michael's parents to Madison to go somewhere for breakfast together. it was a 30 mins drive from the post-office i guess. During all that ride i was trying to open the package. if americans did everything with such professionalism, quality, and diligence it would be a perfect country. the way the package was taped was crazy - and i had no sharp object in the car, so i had to simply untape it (if i can use the word simply about that situation). anyway, right as we were on the last turn i managed to finally open the box and get rid of all tapes (which formed a ball bigger than my fist).

mom sent me 21 dvds with programs/music/movies, absolutelly adorable comfy capris (a bit longer breeches), a shirt, and a hair-barette. also she found my one-of-most-favorite cat earrings and one of my lion key-ring charms. She also sent a long-sleeved shirt for Michael.






As you see me and Anoki are of the same colors now :D

i recognized the barette. i had seen it at the cosmetics store where me and mom bought all girlish stuff - "Paris". almost all of my barettes were from there, and this one i liked for the design but it wasn't matching any clothes in my closet so i didn't get it. Mom somehow remembered and bought it. THEN she got the outfit for me. That's what i told Michael - i thought mom bought stuff in that order. later when she called in the evening she said "Irina but i must confess in something.." and i said "that you matched clothes with the barette and not the vice versa?" mom said "YES!" and we laughed. and oh well i once got a swimsuit to match my slippers, and the apple doesn't fall far from the apple-tree :))

It was 21st of March when i got 21 DVDs.. that number is haunting me. 21st of march is also Helen's birthday. i called her around 9 my time... to realize tat it was kind of late night in Armenia :)) then i kept messaging her from the bar but she seemed to be asleep. i messaged mom with a songle word (in armeninan i mean) "are you asleep?" she called back and said

- you! why did you wake me up?? it doesn't matter that you are over the ocean on the other side of the planet, you still give me a hard time! it's 8 am sunday! couldn't you wait until 9 at least??

in my defence i forgot that Armenia hasn't shifted to daylight saving time, so i thought it was 9! hehe.
