a present

France, lunch time

I woke up this morning in a kinda of weird mood (I know it is nothing new)...first, I would have loved to stay longer in bed. Second, I was nervous for the response that I was waiting (and I am still waiting). Third, I need a holidays. So, I came to work totally unmotivated. I got here and I got an email from one of my collaborator who sent me completely different things than what I asked him (I am starting to think that we speak a different language, even if we both claim to communicate in English)...so, by 11 am my mood was under my shoes.

Then, the technician told me that someone called me that I received a letter and if I could go to pick it up. I went, and it was a package from my mom with a lot of nice things inside. A lot of Italian relaxing magazine, facial masks, a cd I guess with the movie of my sister wedding, a short letter....I was so happy. This present lifted immediately my mood. Not only for what it contained, but also because I love love love to receive things like letters, packages, I love these surprise...I think I am still a kid in this sense! Every day I open my mail box hoping to find a letter or a card or something like that. It is so cool!
I also love to write letters and cards, because I always imagine than the people who will receive them may be as happy as I am when I receive these things. So, it is nice for me to write them (much less impersonal than an email) and hopefully for them to receive them!

PS. It is funny. I just left a comment about this a few days ago on a MissB blog entry
