Janet knocks it out of the ballpark

 I chose that sports reference because Janet is one of those people who churns out a ton of creativity and still has time for a ton of sporting events. And she's a good cook/baker and well groomed. She's some sort of superwoman. 

Janet observed my birthday with all kinds of goodies. The envelope is much brighter in person and goes very well with the stamp. Inside is this card - with a fold on the top.

The image on the front wrapsaround to the back

Inside is a small envelope. Inside that envelope is a little booklet with J-for-Jean on the front.

That out-of-date term on the USPS stamp was issued on October 12, 1974 when it cost 10-cents to mail 1 ounce. Here is a link to see all the other 10-cent stamps.

I love how Janet has assembled my philosophy of life into this tiny booklet. I might have to publish it. Janet will have to send me the name of her agent to hash out the details. I suggest a straight 50-50 split.

I'm also curious about that personal favorite - Just channel your inner Mexican housewife. I did a search on the blog and I only used the word *housewife* three times and none of them are this quote. So, I suspect that quote came from something that happened last year when I tricked my 12 favorite people into devoting a ridiculous amount of time making tissue paper flowers for the Day of the Dead ofrenda. I hope the comment does not offend any Mexican housewives because at my very core, I am a housewife. I don't care what your nationality is - if you are a housewife, we are kindred spirits. I'll be jabbering about this in a future post.

Unless I forget.
