The letter of the day is A. A for Amazing, Awesome, and Amazon.
I was downstairs cleaning up the kitchen this morning, when there was a knock at the door. Well, actually it was a tell-tale knock knock THUD, which means that the UPS guy has come to the door, knocked with one hand, and used his other hand to throw whatever package he brought at the door. I get a bunch of stuff from UPS and it’s always the same…and no matter how fast I run to the door, by the time I get there the guy is in the truck and gone. It’s the equivalent of being doorbell ditched.
Anyway, I heard the knock knock THUD and assumed that someone in the house had ordered something, since I wasn’t expecting anything. When I got the package, however, I saw that it was an Amazon package addressed to me. This immediately caused me to panic. I’m a big Amazon user and sometimes I order things and then forget about them, but since we’re done with all of our holiday shopping (and freshly broke because of it), I was worried that I had pre-ordered something and forgot about it.
So I brought the box in and opened it, expecting to find a gift for someone that I had accidentally already purchased another gift for. Instead, I found a gift wrapped package. I never get things gift wrapped from Amazon, since I’m cheapo and would rather just muddle through all that myself, so this was my first clue that I didn’t send myself this package.
The second clue was the note on the top:
That’s right. The package came from Kate, who has been over in Iraq for more than a month now. My sweet, lovely, wonderful friend took a break from defending our country and sent me a Christmas surprise:
It was good that she wasn’t here to watch me open it, because I totally burst into tears and I have a feeling she would have found that unpleasant. I know this because we have a lot in common and the last time I gave someone a gift and they started to cry in front of me, I wanted to take it back and go, “uh…I didn’t know you were going to do that…so I’m just going to leave this over here and maybe you can open it later when I’m not in front of you and forced to deal with your emoting.”
KATE, I LOVE YOU!!!! And I love my prairie goodness! This is even better than a stuffed camel!
