I wrote an ok info section for my SS to go along with, but I had no idea she would be this good!

The first thing I received was a book from the writers at Cracked, which started out with a chapter on insects (Entomology student here, so far so good!). Weiers08 let me know that there was another gift on its way and I swear I checked the tracking info about 25 times.

My box was delivered to another house in my cul de sac! I realized when I checked the tracking (again) and it said delivered while I, at home, had no box. The first neighbor I checked with seemed a little irritated that I knocked. Second neighbors weren't home, but thankfully the package was on their porch! I was leaving for work when it got here so I didn't have time for unboxing pics. Sorry. :/

I got so many good things! To start, there was a nice little note from my SS.

Other items included:

-Delicious candies and cookies

-A FREAKIN' AWESOME real spider encased in resin. I got the resident spider expert at my university to help me ID it (as I'm an insect person and I don't know a ton about Arachnids). Apparently, it's a species from Africa that is sort of related to tarantulas (different family). The arachnid professor even offered to purchase it from me. I politely declined. :)

-Butterfly (not real) in a jar. It flutters around and looks pretty. My cats are entranced by it and want me to make it move constantly so they can watch.

-Adorable owl kitchen timer and chicken whisk: I love to cook so these will be used often!

-Disappearing Tardis mug for hot chocolate! The Tardis travels through time and space, from the burbs to the stars, when the mug is hot. :D

I hope I didn't forget anything in my list. But seriously, THANK YOU Weiers08. You made a mediocre day into a very exciting one. Merry Christmas!
