My SS package arrived in the mail yesterday and tonight I decided I'd waited long enough, so I opened it.


A box from S. Claus! How exciting!








With drawings on the insides of the flaps!


What could be underneath all this paper?


Windy doesn't care. The paper is interesting enough.


I never expected to get presents as cool as these! (Not pictured: the scarf I put on as soon as I took it out of the box. I will probably end up sleeping with the scarf on.)

Thank you, Tiffany aka TheInfamousBaka, for being so freaking amazing and putting together such a great SS package.

Oh, Trent.

My SweetPee is a female urination apparatus that allows women to stand while urinating.

I'll take twenty!

On Tuesday I received STPs (thanks, someone!) and my Secret Santa package. Today I opened it and nearly wept with joy. Behold the awesomeness of plastic taxi cab?'s gift-giving:


(Eliot is quite interested in the brown paper...)


(...Whereas Windy prefers the note paper.)


(Woohoo! A shoebox!)


(Better when warmed!)


(Holy crap, how cool is that?!)

Thank you so much, Nicholas!

Thanks for the points, mystery person! You totally made my week.

I'm in total disbelief right now.

I had a monumentally craptacular morning, but the day got brighter after I picked up a package from Threadless at the post office.



So thanks, Threadless, for making my day not totally sucky.

As you can see, I received my Valentine gift. I got a sweet card, citrus-y lotion and soap, various food items, a wallet (I've honestly been looking for a new wallet for months now), funny little erasers, a candle, and an orange (yay!) candle holder. Mr. Pistachio Nut, you really are quite the Cupid. I tell you, you can zing your arrow into my buttocks any time.

I mean, thanks for the awesomely thoughtful package!

So this is pretty much the greatest thing I've heard all day.

I work at an animal hospital, and for the past few months a stray kitten named Sox has been staying with us. I brought her home with me a few times to play with my kitty, but I didn't want to keep Sox. (She's the black and white cat in the picture below.)



A couple of weeks ago, I walked into work and there was a note on Sox's cage: "I have a new home now. Alice Cooper is my new daddy." I immediately thought, "OH MY GOD, ALICE COOPER!" But I didn't think he was really the new owner of this kitten, so I forgot about it. (I mean, it's possible there's another guy named Alice Cooper... right?)

Well, earlier I was at a staff party and found out that the Alice Cooper is taking this kitten. The daughter of one of the receptionists somehow knows him and is coming to pick up Sox at the end of the month for him. We're going to try to get Alice to take a picture of himself with Sox.

Oh man, I know Alice Cooper's cat!

I guess someone around here thinks it's cute to use my street team link.

Well, it is. So thanks for the points, stranger.
