This past saturday, my little gift icon went from unretrieved gray to shipped green in one burst (too bad it's not Unseen Green and On-Its-Way Gray) ! It said amazon prime shipping, so I figured it would arrive on Tuesday with other things I had ordered that same day. I'm posting now, obviously, so that's clearly not what happened.

I got home from an outing with the family today and found this enormous box sitting inside the door (I guess it had arrived before someone else had left). Now, large boxes arrive at my house fairly frequently because my father orders lots of hockey equipment for the teams he coaches, so I didn't pay much attention to the big one; rather, I checked the little prime-shipping labelled box on top of it which turned out to be addressed to my dad. Luckily, I noticed "Peabucket" on the big box's label as I was relocating them and got pretty excited. Big, heavy packages excite me, I guess.

After I prepared the camera for the ceremonial unboxing photoshoot, I opened the box and removed a big velvety sack (with an envelope containing the receipt, but I didn't realize that until after I snapped the picture). Amazon, I must say I am impressed with the wrapping! The bod was a bit sloppy but this bag is not only lovely, but something I can definitely reuse! And then I pulled out of the sack a Magic Bullet set! For those who don't know, it's like a single-serving blender that has different heads to work in place of a mixer or food processor or anything that spins something sharp in an enclosed space. One of my favorite things to do at school is cook, and while I was able to bring a blender with me last year I still had plenty of times where having a food processor would have been great. Also, that blender is older than me and is terrifying to clean. PLUS this thing comes with multiple container attachments, so if my roommate uses it and doesn't wash it, I can still use it!

So if you're reading this, my dear secret santa, thank you very much for the magic bullet! I won't be opening it now since I'll be moving in a week or two, but this baby is gonna see a lot of use really soon! I absolutely love it! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy/enjoyed what you received in the exchange as much as I will this!
