Updated: I received my second package! Holy smokes Santa, you are so freaking awesome! This box contained two awesome Star Wars themed toys for my adorable pit bull, Jake.

They are so awesome. Two bone shaped sturdy fabric toys with a fur backing and Star Wars on the front! The big red one says "come to the bark side," and the much smaller green one says "chew this you will." And he did! Jake went nuts playing with these. I'm making sure to limit play time with them so that they last longer. Oh! And the best part is they came from Petco, a company that does not discriminate against pit bulls!

I truly had a Santa that was better than I could have wished for.

I received the first of my two Secret Santa packages yesterday! When I looked at the box I saw that it was from Think Geek. Awesome! I'm definitely a sci-fi geek and love that site.

I ripped it open and found not one, but two awesome gifts inside! First was three pairs of Star Trek original series knee-socks. There was one pair in each of three colors: science division blue, command gold, and engineering red. I'm pretty sure I'm not brave enough to wear the red ones!

I looked at my gorgeous new socks and felt a pang of despair. You see, I have very large womanly calves. I have never in my life been able to wear anything that goes much above the ankle. No knee-socks, no boots taller than a few inches above the ankle. But I thought that I should at least try them on. Why not, right?

Well, miracle of miracles: they fit!!! Holy smokes they fit!!! I'm never taking them off!! Sure, the emblem is all stretched out, but who cares.

Next: omg, Santa stalked me so well! It's the R2D2 measuring cups that I shared on Facebook! These are so awesome. R2D2 is about ten inches tall. He comes apart into a series of measuring cups and spoons. How awesome is that?? My friends are going to be so jealous.

So now it's the next day and I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my second box! Santa sent a message saying that this box would have something for my wonderful dog Jake. I can't wait!
