I had told you about the issues that i have with "sharing" and "saving". I tend to try to save things for special occasions and then find that i don't get to have them when i want to. Like the "good" peanut butter or the mandarin oranges from the earlier post. And, if you've been reading my listings, you know that i've had a few instances where fate/God has given me signs-- found $$ when walking multiple times, "told" not to have a test then found out that i was pregnant and test would have been harmful to developing peanut (Alessandra). Apparently, i need to update and tie this all together.
I'd complained that i try to save the "good" peanut butter (natural, only peanuts) and the Fluff for when i really need a "fix". Then i've occasionally found that the Fluff has become too solid from storage or one or the other gets eaten by the kids and i'm SOL. My sister fixed this for me.
My sister has the "gift of gift". She can, and does, give the best gifts for Christmas, birthday and "just because" (my Pappagallo purse!!). For my birthday this year, she shipped me (early) four (4!!) jars of Fluff and a jar of only-made-in-Columbus Krema peanut butter. You would think that i would save the Fluff for my birthday and just dole out bits of it for special days to make it last. Hoarding it for mememememe. But no. Fates/God with cooperation of Erica and the postal employees who left my package upside down on top of our mailbox have helped to end this practice. With the altitude difference between here (6000 ft) and Indiana (much less), the jars exploded, leaking some (but not all!) of the contents into the packaging. So....i have four open jars of Fluff. We've all been eating Fluffernut sandwiches, Fluff on banana bread, Fluff on ice cream. It's been like a whole week of birthday celebration for me! So much more fun that keeping all the fun and Fluff for myself! Alessandra and Christian love, love, love Fluffernut and Joe too (although he prefers the Fluff without the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the pb without Fluff on the other, not to be eaten together.....funny guy that he is).
I had Fluff for lunch and at dinner. It's just been a week of Fluffy fun. Sweeter and stickier than a birthday cake, more fun than an ice cream cone. It's just a whole week of sugar-high!! Who knew that postal mishaps could be so fun?!
