Wow! Today I went to the dentist to find out I owe a used car's worth of money to get my mouth fixed...but when I got home and opened my gift from my rematch santa, my day was made.

- Firstly, we have a homemade t-shirt featuring Greendog, a character from one of my favorite Sega Genesis games growing up. There was an extra blank t-shirt, which happens to be one of my favorite colors. - Next, a copy of the book UNWIND by Neal Shusterman. I needed a new dystopian fiction series :)

- Last, but certainly not least, a generous donation to a local organization, YEAH! Rocks, which leads summer camps to teach kids how to play an instrument, write a song, and perform in a band in a week. Some programs specifically cater to girls, a program I wish I could have participated in when I was growing up. This organization directly impacts kids of all socioeconomic backgrounds in my community. I know of a few bands that wouldn't be here without it.

Thank you so very much, Rematch Santa. You really made my day. I'm going to wear my new Greendog shirt tonight!
