dear todd,

just thought i'd let you know...
i bought this.
{from here}

and.
i love it.

and...
i needed it.

so, thanks for working hard each day, so i can spend your money.
love you!

ps.
i kind of bought this too.

for the kids.
because of shipping...
buy more save shipping later...
um.
thanks!
and... now i'm done with my first of the semester, we just got our student loan, spending spree.
promise.
love you!

pps.  No, the professor is not a money dictator.  It's just that i've needed a few things the past few days, and he's been very understanding, and i don't want him to think i'm taking advantage.  i do try not to buy stuff.
but, as students we are poor all summer long, and then when school starts we get a big chunk of student loans and it is so hard not to buy a few fun things... but, now i'm done.  really, really done.  and very happy.
