its real simple

for the last couple of years, my mom has bought each of us sisters a magazine subscription to better homes and garden (bhg). but now that i'm living with bethany, who also gets that same magazine, my mom has upgraded my bhg status to real simple. (arrogant smile) i'm now the ONLY girl in my family to receive such a coveted magazine subscription.

i LOVE real simple's magazine. the rich feel of the pages, the delicious articles, the fantastic pictures, the CRAFTS! i love it all!

i've been waiting oh-so-patiently for my very FIRST subscription to arrive and guess what. it came in the mail today! yay! i called my mom immediately and gushed over the whole thing. my mom was tickled to death of course and we set a date for later this week. she'll be sitting in her chair, wearing pajamas, her coffee in hand, with me on the phone as we pour over each page together.

i'm gonna love doing this with her. its one of the few things i'll be able to share with my mom where its just me and her. NO other siblings to get in my way. i'll have my mom ALL to MYself. (eat that gnomies.) =D

i still love bhg. but not as much as my real simple. =)
