I was rather bummed when my first match never looked again after retrieving their match. Perhaps they have a thing against awesome women. My rematch Santa MORE than made up for my initial disappointment. He promptly notified me that he was on the ball and already had picked out my gift...shipping info a day later and informed me that not one, but TWO games were headed my way.

Following this lovely excitement buildup, yesterday we had a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day. Our house was robbed! They took all the small electronics (including our brand new xbox the boys got for their birthday) and our lockbox will all our identifying information and passports. It downright SUCKS. The past 24 hours have been filled will police reports, phone calls, tracking down serial numbers, etc.

So after that nastiness, today I return home from work to a package at the door. My reddit gifts were the furthest thing from my mind, the anticipation completely erased by the stress of the robbery, so I had no idea what the contents of this package might be. Lo and behold, the contents were two fantastic games with thoughtful gift notes included. My boys immediately grabbed Munchkin Zombies and asked for a game before dinner, so off we went (I kicked their butt as an atomic zombie with flower pot shoes, a birdcage on my head and a yoyo of flaming doom!). We will be playing Ticket to Ride this weekend when we have some more free time.

Thank you soooo much Santa for brightening an otherwise very crappy day.
