I arrived home and went to the reddit gifts site because I wanted to check and see if my match had received his gift yet. To my delight I had a message that my gift should have arrived. I checked the front and side door and to my disappointment there was no package, this concerned me because UPS has a habit of leaving packages halfway up our 700 foot driveway. With the strong winds we had today there was a real chance we wouldn't find it till spring. So I called out to my wife "do you want to go package hunting outside?" To my surprise she jumped up and said "that sounds like fun". We suited up (it supposed to hit -22f this evening) in our arctic explorer suits and headed out headlights blazing the way. After one pass down the driveway we cam up empty handed so we decided to split up and walk up the far side of the drifts on each side of the driveway. After trekking through thigh high snow for about 150 yards she called out that she had located the prize. We rushed back to the house before frostbite started in. After a few minutes in front of the fire to gain back the finger dexterity necessary to open the package I tore into it like a 12 year old hoping for a red rider BB gun. I was greeted with a shiny new stainless steel water bottle.

I was actually thrilled with this because just this morning I was complaining about how my insulated one keeps my tea so hot that I can't drink it for like an hour and by then I get distracted and forget about it for 2 or 3 hours and when I remember it's already cold. With this new one I hope that it will cool down quickly enough for me to drink before my ADD kicks in.
