So, I got two thick envelopes today, with very nice christmas, and science stamps on them! (you can tell right there that she put some effort into this exchange!). the envelopes were clearly marked 1 and 2, so I started with 1. the card was very personal and the card were both xmas themed, and from her state. (super cool). and inside was a truckload of stickers! they were all "sciency", girl-power (woman rights), and political. I am a bit of a science nerd myself, and I have two little girls, as well as being very liberal, so lets just say that all the stickers will be proudly put on important stuff like my laptop, and my kids tabs. LOVE them. the second card was baking based. and I do also love to bake stuff like cakes. so very cool. next I need to fight with my wife, and the kids over who gets the coolest stickers! :-) a return address was on the envelope, so I think I will have to send a little card in return! marry Chrismass to M and her dog C (?)

Update: I got a parcel in the mail today... I mean like a big box full of nice stuff. it is not even close to being a card.. this is a full fledged gift! WOW... super excited. I have re-wraped it, and it will be opened for Christmas. I will try to update again when I have opened it. PS: it smelled really nice, and I know there is spice!

would give 15 - Super Excellent if that was a choice
