I sent the happy with it

[devohoneybee]

That soup recipe I posted? I was lamenting to my mother that I had not been able to find parsley root. Two days later I got a box in the mail -- filled with it. I cannot tell you how happy this made me. That evening, I found her on chat (we mostly communicate that way as Mom is deaf and chat is a lot easier than going through a relay operator). I thanked her and told her how happy I was when I opened that box and saw all that parsley root. She said, "I sent the happy with it." *heart*

Also, I made my first poetry sale. A poem I wrote will appear in a book by Karen Lord entitled The Best of All Possible Worlds, which won the Frank Collymore literary prize in Barbados last night. Wheeee! for Karen, and for getting paid for a poem I wrote. This is a good day.

(And now I want an icon with a parsley root that says "I sent the happy with it.")
