was somebody who wasn't my friend I wouldn't care but since it's somebody who "considers me their best friend" 
 (gag me) I don't have to brush it off.  Okay...I'm done - sorry for being emo. 

 You bought your mom black pearls?!!  I think that you should recognize something important about yourself that I have:  Here it is that you are given a credit card with no limit (or a high limit or whatever - it doesn't matter how much you have on it it's the basis of the point which I am getting ready to make), and while you have bought a ton for yourself (of which you totally deserve - no doubt), you have also taken the time to buy things for all of your friends and family.  I can't stress how great I think that is, and while you may not care if I think this or that about you, I applaud you for being so selfless and taking time out of your day to buy stuff for people......many people when given what you have been given would only think about themselves and what they can get for themselves while you take the time to think about what other people would want.  I am very proud of you and I wanted you to know that you demonstrate true greatness in the fact that you're so giving 
  and that you aren't all about yourself.  

 Okay, the "Lauren is so freaking great" tangent is over - hope you liked it!  I have to go now and clean and cook this badass spicy tabasco chicken for the parents. 

 I miss you so much and baby I will get to give you kisses in 24 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
