Today, in the middle of taking a practice GMAT exam, the doorbell rang and this was on my doorstep:
It's from my friend Kelly, in California. She sent it for no reason whatsoever! She just sent it to send it! Words cannot begin to describe how this basket brightened my day.
Among its goodies are seeds and gardening supplies. You'll notice a bag of tomato-basil pretzels (which I'm 'testing' right now), various dips, gourmet honey and a book on how to garden. There is even a tool that you use to stab things with and some gardening gloves. Probably you poke at dirt with that tool; I don't know. I'll look to the book to enlighten me.
Best of all is the box of strawberry-cream centered chocolates! I used to think that chocolate covered cherries were my favorite, but no more! THESE chocolates are my favorite!
'Kelly from CA' is the same person who selflessly offered up her glass firing kiln so that I would have a way to occupy my spare time. Being the awesome friend that I am, I made fun of her for having a glass firing kiln. Mea culpa, Kelly! You're the best! Thanks for finding another way for me to occupy my time once the GMAT's are over!
To lend credibility to the fact that someone thought enough of me to send me a gardening basket, I staged it next two my two plants and some tomatoes when I took the picture. Look--I can buy tomatoes! That proves unequivocally that I can grow them too!
So, in conclusion, I would like to offer up the evidence of this basket as proof that my friend Kelly is awesome. Thanks, Kelly!

i love that you 'staged' the basket! :)
what a good friend Kelly is!
hey, kelly, if you need my addy, just drop me a line ;)
I'm glad you are enjoying the gift!
This was actually to prime you for future "gifts". You see, after I
- ensure that all foster kids in the US have been adopted into wonderful, safe homes
- grow our business into a multi-million dollar enterprise with fortune 500 companies participating in bidding wars to acquire us
- earn PhDs in law, education, business and underwater basket weaving
- cure cancer
(all while continuing to have healthy, happy, beautiful kids (and husband for that matter))
I intend to seach the depths of my garage to find my glass firing kiln and create lovely, one-of-a-kind masterpieces for you to display proudly in your home - for everyone to see.. that you will treasure forever and ever and ever.
Melek - are you sure you want me to have your address? :)
Great, Kelly! Why don't you go ahead and send your first "creation" to Melek. Her address is:
1701 Maple Stick Rd
Austin, TX 78301
She told me that she would absolutely LOVE some of your artwork!
No go cure cancer!
