My day was behaving more like a Monday, and after having to stay an hour later at work to get things done, I was feeling a little grumpy. But when I came home, I spied something hiding behind my show shovel. It's warmed up significantly, so I knew right away that it wasn't snow. (Booo.)

But! It was a package! From my rematch!

I opened it up and found an awesome card with a coupon to go hiking if I ever make it out to Colorado - woohoo! (Time to start figuring out how to have a business trip, or something...)

There were several packages - including one for Pickles! He was super excited to have something of his own to open. It was a couple of packets of tasty treats, so now he can share with his friends when they come to visit.

Among my packages were some really great Star Wars stickers and erasers and pencils and stuff - I haven't been this excited about school supplies since I first discovered Lisa Frank, 30 years ago!

There was also an Orson Scott Card paperback, and (the best part of all) a 1932 edition of Robin Hood! My rematch noted that she thought I would appreciate it, given my love of archery. I'd say she hit the bullseye with this one!

Thanks, rematch - you rock!
