Brilliant!

You know what I love?
Cardigans and TOMs shoes.

You know what is brilliant?
A wine decanter. It makes wine taste amazing!

You know what looks super dapper and makes you feel like an intelligent man?
Tying your own bow tie. None of this pre-tied nonsense.

You know what is super cozy and the perfect thing to wrap yourself in after a long day of work?
A blanket handmade by one of your best friends. It is my very own so Casey and I do not have to fight over the California Raisin blanket his next door neighbor made for him when he was six.

You know what makes me laugh so hard I can't hold back the tears?
Leslie. And the fact that she bought me a set of women's nightshirts from the DI.

You know what is thoughtful?
Friends who give gift cards so that you can buy whatever you want. AND...friends who listen to what you want and pick out something great. Also...friends who don't ask you what you want, but find you a gift you love.

You know what I got this year for my birthday?
All of the above.

HAPPY (late) Birthday. I wanted you to feel even more special, so I am wishing you a happy birthday on a day that everyone else is not doing it. Speaking of special blankets, ask Casey what happened to the crocheted blanket I made him on his mission?!? It took me like 80 hours, not even kidding. I bet the old smoker lady's didn't take that long!

Aw, Mrs. Darryl. Casey referred to her as his best friend at that age of his life. Sad Sad Sad.At least my best friend actually came to my house. He had to, to deliver the mail.
