Gifts from Mexico
Matt returned in the wee hours of this morning from a business trip to Mexico - lucky ducky! He came home with gifts for the house.
First, he sweetly says, "I saw this, and I instantly thought of you." Aww, what a schmoopie!
A beautiful 3-D shadowbox with Frida Kahlo
When I was in high school, I did a major project on Diego Rivera, and thusly became interested in Frida Kahlo. I love the movie "Frida" with Salma Hayek, and if you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. Lots of interesting crafty elements!
Then, Matt followed up with, "Aaaaaaand this is a gift for me, well, I guess it could be a gift for the both of us..."
Meet Mr. Calaca.
I think this might be my husband's form of payback for all of the girly goodness I've been dragging into the house lately, HA!
He's not so bad though, this dude knows how to party down!
Hobbes is not quite sure what she thinks of all this though!
Oh. My.

My other highlight of the day was a visit from Mum. She came with DOUGHNUTS, mmm, and we had a grand old time. I introduced Mum to SUPER BURRITO, an amazing burrito place down the street from me, and we chatted and blog surfed and listened to music. (Now, Mum likes Andrew Bird too!) I absolutely miss living so close to my parents, so our less frequent visits are extra special bright spots. Thanks for driving down Mum!
Now...off to knit!
