I was still at University when my package was delivered to my parent's house (Dec. 15), but was super excited to hear my SS package was delivered. My mother, laughing to the point of tears, called to say that the dog was outside and the UPS guy threw the box at the dog and ran back to his truck. They next day after finishing my last final, I packed my car and headed home for the holidays.

Can I mention that my secret santa must be psychic? I got an excellent hand made card featuring Jesus, my favorite tree friendly hippie, who was partaking in beef jerky and a Slurpee (two of my favorite things). In the box was two different lip balms, that were immediately appropriated by my daughter, a funky hat, a peg game, a slinky for stress relief, pink sunglasses to protect my delicate Washingtonian eyes from the Florida sun when I get to Grad School and a most excellent picture of Sponge Bob colored by the next Picasso to remind me that the beaches aren't nude in Florida. The psychic part came with the assortment of sticky notes...I use them for everything to keep organized. They are all over my house and car, color coded for everything.

WangoMango, I loved my gifts and had so much fun opening them after completing finals. You made my first year doing the SS wonderful!
