Okay, scratch the last entry.

My mother is CRAZY. Thank you so much, Mom! I really cannot express how thankful I am. This is probably the biggest package I have ever received in my life, and there's SO much inside -- I have been so starved for any sort of fattening American food that I thought for a brief second "I hope I don't eat this all in a week," but, uh, that's a little impossible. My God, Mom. I'm really giddy with happiness, you're the best!

(Just so everybody knows the scope of this package, my mother sent me, amongst other things, THIRTY SNACK SIZED BAGS OF CHIPS and a FIVE POUND BAG OF CANDY. This is absolutely crazy.)

I love you, Mom!
