and also incredibly gifted at writing amazing messages. I do with she maybe lived less than 1/2 the country away from me. I'd take her axe throwing with me.

I can't claim that life has been hard lately. But this month has been brutal as far as work goes. I'm insanely exhausted, and dragged myself home a little early today. And my face lit up when I noticed a package on my porch.

My santa clearly gets me. She gave me an absolutely perfect necklace (yes, I AM wearing it already.) She's also feeding my game addiction with a game I haven't played. As soon as I finish typing this, I'm going to crack that box open to start reading the rules.

But I think the very, very best part of my gift is the card my santa painted for me. I joined an axe league this past fall. It is THE MOST FUN SPORT EVER. I talk about Axe League incessantly. I drag friends to the axe bar when we're out an about. I post loads and loads of axe throwing boomerangs. And my santa opted to paint about it. And I adore it. And I will be framing it and adding it to my wall of most treasured art.

Thank you santa. You have absolutely, positively made my day. (And if you ever make it out my way, I will for real take you axe throwing!)
