This morning, I received a message on redditgifts from BurtonL that he'd checked the tracking code and UPS should be delivering my gift today--yay! After (impatiently) waiting and compulsively checking the door every ten minutes from when I got the message, I had to leave the house around 1230 to go pick up my niece from school. Sure enough, when I stopped at home between picking my niece up and taking her to the bakery for a treat (because I forgot my Santee's gift at home and I had to ship it), I saw the UPS truck down the street. I approached my front door and THERE IT WAS!! My Secret Santa gift. :) I picked up the package I had to mail and my gift and got back into the car and tore into it with a quickness.

What a great gift! BurtonL sent me a handmade TARDIS ornament (which is so many different kinds of awesome. I was shouting about it in the car, much to my niece's chagrin.) on which he left the lid loose in case I want to use it as a box! It's hanging on my Christmas tree now but believe me when I say it'll be finding a year-round place in my home. I am extra super excited as this is my first piece of Doctor Who swag. Even better, the note enclosed said it was wrapped in a dishcloth that BurtonL's 101 year old grandmother made as she wanted to include something, too. HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Next, I received the always-awesome TWILIGHT TURTLE!!! Can't wait til the sun goes down so I can check out the stars on my ceiling. :)

THANK YOU, BurtonL! And thank you to your grandmother. You put a smile on my face today.
