Well, first she hauled her kids to school, then she hauled her ass around on a bicycle, then she hauled some sports equipment to various meets and games...

clod nailed it.

I don't really do presents -having a pool party in August was my big present this year- but my mother-in-law conspired with my friend to bring me some fresh (purple) flowers, friend knitted me a purple blanket, thor gave me the first (and only) pot he threw (painted purple) and Hebe made me a little monster. (red). And I got a cool metal bird sculpture from my MIL I picked out at the Ann Arbr Art Fair this summer.

oh and there's a mystery package en route from my sister, apparently.

She's an enigmatic present giver. One year she vacationed in Aus. I jokingly said I wanted a didgeridoo. One arrived by Fedex. Most awesomest surprise present ever. Last year she sent me a pink left handed fountain pen. Yes, I hate pink. Yes, I'm right-handed. Yes, I barely write any more. Yes you can't get the cartridges it needs in the US. Yes, she works for the company that made it. When I say works for....more like director of.......

I was told, in order to play a didgeridoo you have to master circular breathing. If you've done that, I want to be your friend.

Not very well. The circular breathing is not happening here yet -I can barely breathe in a staright line! But it's purple and it looks cool

If it's purple, you're holding it too tight.

I had to look it up.

Circular breathing is a technique used by players of some wind instruments to produce a continuous tone without interruption. This is accomplished by breathing in through the nose while simultaneously blowing out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks.
Omfg - there's no way

Way. Old girlfriend's kid met a didgeridoo player with a reggae band in Philly, who taught the kid how do it on his trumpet. Fucking amazing to see, but I still don't understand how it's possible.
