Divorce Card Strikes Again!

You guys. Guess what just got delivered TO MY OFFICE? (also: hello boring office furniture!)


Alice and Jess sent me a mofo CARE PACKAGE! Holy SHIT! In the words of Clark W. Griswold, I couldn't have been more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet!

There are Sour Patch Kids, Wine charm thingees, this wicked awesome Cool Shooters mold that lets you make an ICE CUBE in the shape of a SHOT GLASS, chocolate-covered coffee beans, Homemade COOKIES (!), Blue pens (OBV), and an adorable little birdie candle! Man, they are no skimmers, eh?

Plus the Card of Greatness, which on the inside says, "Sorry things suck right now". HEE!

Thank you guys, seriously, so much. This time in my life would be totally, TOTALLY different if I didn't have this blog, and not in a good way.

SO MANY wicked cool people read this thing. WHY? HOW? At any rate, I'm not one to look a gift cookie in the mouth (or...whatever), so I'll just say:

Thanks.

xoxo

Hey! Alice! Hey! Jess!

You've been put on warning: YOU ARE MAKING THE REST OF US LOOK BAD.

Also, you are way awesome.

I'm totally playing the "Isn't it illegal to ship booze through the mail?" card, because that's what I got you. But don't worry, it won't go to waste...

Tessie - you deserve good people caring about you right now (and always).

Because you are made of WIN, dear. That's why.

I give gifts too...but um require that they be in person. (ssshhh Jennie hush!) I might just be saying that because, I might be angling for "ill-advised post divorce decision #2, i.e. COME TO BLOGHER"

I can't believe Alice's cats let those Sour Patch Kids out of their paws. You must be One Lucky Woman, Ms. Divorce Card.

Ooooo home made cookies! Also the vacuum card that says "Sorry things suck for you right now" HILARIOUS.

Oh, Tessie, you have so much more divorce card left in you. We're (me and my soon-to-be-ex husband) finally about to sign our divorce agreement, after 2 YEARS of putting it off. That's a lot of divorce carding. A lot.

Have fun with it.

I was at this Greek fest once, where they raffled off baskets filled with wine and cheese and olives and all sorts of yummy food and drink. The guy was announcing the contents of the wine basket, and he said, "It even has ice cube trays, so you can freeze your leftover wine into wine-cubes!" We all looked at eachother and said, "Huh? Leftover wine?!"

YAY!! In the words of Sandra Bullock's mom in Hope Floats, "My cup runneth over."

Also, SHUT UP. I LOVE that movie. Even though I clearly don't remember said mom's name.

Alice said...

hee.. i promise that the sour patch kids delivered to tessie were NEW sour patch kids, unmolested by my cats. *i'm* eating the cat-molested ones, obvs.

That is awesome! Especially the ice cube mold shot glass thingy.

Tess said...

Pants, I KNOW, RIGHT? That thing is GENIUS. It's just SCREAMING for vodka.

Sarah said...

Nothing like surprise packages to cheer you up. (Why did that sound so freaking dirty?) I hope you won a bunch of pay it forwards, too! AND you won't even have to host contests to pay them forward because... Divorce Card!

Shelly said...

Oh, that is awesome! Great work, Alice and Jess!

Fay said...

Most awesome, I must say.

(... okay Ed Grimley. DATING MYSELF)

Swistle said...

That is So Awesome. I am starting to get tempted to get a divorce.

(Paul: NOT REALLY. KIDDING. Just want COOKIES.)

LoriD said...

SO awesome! Today was such a good day on blogs - PIF prizes arriving, Jess got perfume, now this. There are a lot of thoughtful, good people out there. A LOT!

Manager Mom said...

It is pretty great that in a world full of idiots, the bloggy world attracts all the cool ones.

Misty said...

No skimmers, indeed. I am very impressed. So glad your day was brightened.

Erin said...

I love you guys. All of you. Amen.

mom of the year said...

"Head sewn to the carpet" is one of my fave all-time lines! YAY for carepackages. Also: just posted THE UNMARRIAGE POST. OH SHIT.

Julie said...

Awesome care package! Oh, the kids and I had popcorn and a block of cheese for supper last night...

Sometimes the internet is a beautiful place.

Um, those have to be JELLO molds, not ice. Like, for jello shots--you know, those disgusting things made with a bazillion proof pure grain alcohol that we used to ingest like crack in college? I think every house could use a set of those--wonder where they came from?

Oh, and BTW, I LOVE Sliding Doors. I wonder how many times they say "shag" in thet movie?
