And finally, I wanted to share this with everyone. My Mom has a friend at church who is helping support her adult children and grandchild. She's the only one in the house with a job right now and it's tough. So Mom and I went to Target and got her granddaughter, Michelle, lots of school uniforms and such. And a few weeks ago I had a bad day at work so I went to the Sanrio (Hello Kitty) store and indulged in some hardcore retail therapy. I got her a bookbag, lunchbox, and all the matching accessories. Yeah, I love Hello Kitty. All the stuff on my desk is Hello Kitty. My lanyard, my tea mug, everything. I love when someone asks to borrow my stapler, LOL!

Mom said that Michelle's grandma said she liked to draw, read, and was into animals. A few weeks ago I was at Borders and they had one of those butterfly guides in the bargain section (a whole $2.99!). I picked up two copies - one for me and one for the museum. But after I got home I realized I already had this book; they had just put a new cover on it! So I thought Michelle might like to look through it and I put it in the bag of stuff to give her. Apparently, she loved it and loves butterflies, as do most ten-year old girls. Yesterday, Mom came home from church and gave me Michelle's thank you. I'm totally hanging it in my cubicle at work! I don't have kids so I don't have any cute drawings, but now I do! I just thought you guys might like to see it.
