Long day at work, stayed 2 hours late and the snow was piling. Truck got stuck driving up the hill out of town. Had to walk a mile to the office. Get a shovel. Walk a mile back. dig my truck out of snow. Short sentences.

Anyway. I was pissy the whole way home. I had to go under twenty just to ensure I didn't spin out. I get home and find this lovely box waiting for me.

Ooh. It's heavy! What could it be? It had to be from my Secret Santa. Well, my Rematched Secret Santa, that is. My original Santa was MIA, and I'm kind of glad, because they could not have done a better job than Zoembie has! I open the box to discover Good Eats: The Early Years by Alton Brown (A food idol of mine!) and Cooking for Geeks by Jeff Potter ( A book I've been wishing for since I first read about it when it came out). I could not have smiled bigger if I tried.

Thank you sooo much, Zoembie. You are freaking amazing!
