I was so excited to see my gift in the mail today!! Got some awesome stuff.. First a poetry/short story book from Eric Alleman (comes with a CD too). Did some snooping and Alleman is from my Santa's city, Cleveland (is it you?? haha). Yay local works or art! Second, a book called "The Best American Non-Required Reading", a collection of great short stories. I actually have an edition of this from a previous year so its right up my alley! And lastly, my Santa didn't forget about my cat and threw on some fuzzy/crinkly balls for her to play with. She's going nuts over them, and wanted to play fetch as soon as I got home from work.

Thank you Santa, whoever you are! This gifts were extremely thoughtful and I hope you get something special as well!
