sweeter than sweet

there's arrival.

moments in your life when you aha, let that belly breath out, and even your pinkies grin.

a first kiss, an oscar nomination, a standing, stiff souffle.

and then there's THE email from karey:

telling me not only that tamara the camera had swung a spot in yesterday's shoppe window; but my less than nutritious dietary divulgence made truffle girls bulletin as well.

this surpasses giddy gulps of air and smiles un-surpressed.

this is an entirely different bowlful of happy.

i'm binge eating and breaking out into involuntarily head bangs all across the county.  it's intoxicated anxiety i haven't seen the likes of since grease came out in dvd.

thank you miss karey. you inspire me daily.

i will wear this grateful dress always.

truffle love

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

they're here! my valentines arrived. my mailbox bouncing buoyantly on the block, unable to contain the cheeriness inside.

the truffle girls have gifted us with the opportunity to buy their magic.

the truffle girls: karey and mary. mary takes the photographs that swell pupils and unfurl shrieks.

and karey.

karey.

karey writes words that days later, abate, and finally settle in, to lumps in your throat.

now some of their "candy for the soul" is available for purchase.

there are two available sets of 3 cards. good luck trying to choose. they arrive in the prettiest glasseline envelopes, with an "xoxo" sticker. here are mine. won't they make just the perfect valentine's?
