Morning Started Off Rough...But Got Better!!!

As some of you know, I suffer from a rare genetic disease called Porphyria. The past week has been extremely rough for me with trying to get some of my chronic pain under control...so I have gotten just a little bit of sleep during this time. Last night I was totally miserable and my morphine just wasn't working so I spent a good deal of my night laying in bed and watching movies.

To make matters worse...we got more icky snow overnight...I am so ready for winter to be over and spring to get here!!! So...after having a really bad night...My day doesn't start off too hot...the leaky drippy sink is getting on my last nerve, my telephone has been ringing off the hook with nonsense callers and so forth.

Finally something good...the door bell rings and it's Mr Fed Ex man with a package. I take my package and hit the sofa again. I open it up and its my giveaway win from Carolina Pad! yeah me! I won an entire package of goodies from them through a giveaway they sponsored over on the Coupon Clippin' Mommy Blog.

Inside my package was: A designer composition pad, a 1-subject notebook with the cutest cover on it, a beautiful 3-ring binder, pretty designer subject deviders in girly colors, a pack of glitter pencils and a nice writing pen. Yeah me! Since I am a writer...all of these things will come in handy.

I hope everyone is staying indoors and warm today!

Thank You Mr. Mailman!

Today my Mailman came bearing some wonderful things for me. I have been entering a lot of giveaways...mostly baby and new mom ones so that I can help my daughter out who is a single mom of an 8 month old.

Here is some of what Mr. Mailman delivered today:

From a giveaway I entered over on the Familylicious Blog - A Hipster Bib for baby G. The one we received is a green color with cute red little lady bugs on it. Baby G is going to love it!

From the Island Life Blog (can't find the link right now) I won 2 coupons so that I can redeem them for 2 FREE full-size popsicles of my choice at the store. I hear fudgesicles and creamsicles calling my name!

From the Lucky Canuck Blog I finally and yes finally....won a Flirty Apron! I have been entering every Flirty Apron giveaway I could find the past few months trying to win a Flirty Apron and finally did! I chose the chocolate brown with blue print apron.

I also received 3 romance novel books that I won from a few book giveaway blogs since I enjoy reading...however, my mom walked off with one of those books earlier tonight.

The other packages I received were items that I am doing product reviews for on two of my other blogs.

Overall...fantastic mail truck day!!!
