Gifts

Gifts are always fun to receive, specially if they are unexpected, interesting and welcomed. I got these items from 2 friends lately and I have already thanked them. But today I just felt like showing the blogsphere how I liked them.

The Notebook
Notebooks are my craze. Plain ones, fancy ones, lined, no lines, cheap, or cheaper still -- bring them on. I can never get enough of these notebooks. As if I will never run out of things to write. This latest notebook is different though. It has pages for who to call, what to do -- and most specially what to shop! Isn't this just awesome?



Dijon Mustard
The gift came with an interesting tidbit. President Obama's choice of Dijon mustard for his hamburger recently caused a stir. His attackers claimed the choice was too un-American and Dijon mustard is more identified with the aristocrats and the snooty. Oh, well -- this giver said one of these mornings I should have Dijon mustard for my sandwich. Just to feel condescending and elegant.

Love these gifts, love the givers, love the stories!
