Yesterday evening, when I returned home from seeing Man of Steel, a wild amazon box appeared! I was so excited that I didn't take a picture of it, but really, who wants to see a picture of a box?

My first gift came with this note:

*One of the best ways to stay fit is to cook at home, so I got you some kitchen gear to help make your culinary adventures a little more interesting!

The gift that went with this note is a kitchen torch! Little did Santa know that a friend of mine has requested a creme brulee for her upcoming birthday. I can't wait to torch something!*

Here's the note from gift the second:

On your road to fitness, always stop once in a while to enjoy the cheesecake!

With this note was a new springform pan with a glass bottom. Santa didn't know it, but next weekend I'm participating in a cooking competition where I will be preparing a salted caramel cheesecake. My old springform pan has flecks of calphalon flaking off the bottom, so I really wanted one with a glass bottom.

Third gift note (I know, right?):

I hope you'll make yourself delicious mojitos with this tool!

With that note was a stainless steel muddler. Trust me, Santa, mojitos are now on the agenda! I really enjoy mixing new drinks!

And the note for the fourth gift (Seriously. My Santa is the best ever):

And finally some RDJ because rawr. Enjoy your Arbitrary Gifts, and good luck again with C25K!

Iron Man on Blu Ray! If I had to name a celebrity crush, Robert Downey, Jr. would be my pick. "Rawr" is right.

Thank you, Santa. As soon as my knee heals up, I will be running again. Thank you for the encouragement and of course for the awesome gifts!
