"So... screw you," read the note I received from DeeMonspawn letting me know she'd sent my gift wending its way to me.

Naturally, there was more to it than that, but it was a fantastic opening, so I thought I'd steal it and put it here. She was going to update me on tracking numbers, but Amazon delivered so quickly, she never got the chance.

And now I'm the proud owner of a handy, dandy, nifty keeno camping kettle! I guess she got the idea from when I said that my regular kettle was looking pretty skanky since I used it over a campfire and scorched it all to hell. What an elegant solution this will make! I may never boil water indoors again.

Thank you, oh, thank you, DeeMonspawn... And screw you, too!! :-D

UPDATE: Little did I know that the best was yet to come, winging its way in from somewhere in Kentucky, apparently. A NINJA HOOKER MUG, perfect for a yarn-obsessed stealth assassin like myself! I absolutely love it!!
