$2.49 worth of sentiment.

I don't subscribe to any religion (other than secularism). The only thing you'll ever find me worshiping is a Krispy Kreme donut.

That said, I must confess that I send out an obscene amount of holiday cards. The problem with being a child of the boonies is that everyone you know from your childhood is Christian...and they don't know that you're a devout secularist, nor do you plan on elucidating them to that fact.

I've somehow become the emmisary of tidings of hope and a bright future to all who attended my grandma's church. It's fun having a bunch of people pissed off at you because their momma, aunt, or granma won't stop berating them for having a kid at 14 and not going to college and not being like Tiffany. Oh, if they only knew. It was my destiny to get the hell up out of there. Don't they know that counties like that repel college graduates?

...I had a point in there but I lost it.

Oh yes, cards.

I have a stack of Easter cards that I promised to people. I bought the least Jesus-y ones I could find.

"But, Tiffany," you say, "He's the reason for the season!"

T'is true. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone as it is to be sending Easter cards in the first place. I want people to know I'm thinking about them, but I don't want to send them sentiments I don't believe in myself. So...I got four cards with gold foil butterflies on the front, one with a gold foil Egg, and one with a cross.

My plan is for Scott and I to take a snapshot of ourselves and stick it in there. The last time I sent out a photo was in 2002, so eh.

I think for this Christmas I'm sending out TiffanyDVDs.
