Soooo .... a large and unexpected parcel arrived today, and when I removed the outer envelope, I saw that it was from 'secret Santa', complete with a lovely message!
I feel so guilty because not only have I not obtained the one I am to send as yet (I had something unique in mind, but it was sold out when I went to get it). So, I am not going to open it until I have sorted out my gift: that's the sort of incentive I need.
The packaging looks great, and someone's taken a lot of case over it. It feels like it's probably a book, and if that's the case, it will suit me just perfectly...
Thank you, whoever you are. Just reading your message has made my day!
how can you just not open it i could'nt wait one second
soooorrrryyy buddy it's not ship yet, i'm a jerk, i'm so suubmerged of work it seems i never can go to the weird opening hours of the post office, few days and it'll be ok
Ursulabear and MilkiSobel - that was good advice. I was teetering on the brink, and your encouragement pushed me over the edge!
Someone is brilliant! What a superbly chosen gift - thank you, my Secret Santa buddy!!
I was pleased with it, even before I'd opened it, but the choice of book was absolutely INSPIRED! I am not only deeply touched that someone would send me such a great object, but even more so that whoeveryouare has taken the trouble to really think about me and select a volume that is just so perfect.
Pictures in next post: my PC often objects to having things plugged into it, and so might crash, and I don't want to have to type this again!
OH .. and between starting to type this, and hitting SUBMIT, queenofnerds' message came in. YES It was getting to me! I caved in!
OK ... I took 3 pictures on my mobile phone. But this PC is unable to see them, sadly. I will wait till the morning, and then call them up onto another PC, and then save them to a memory stick, and transfer them to this one, and then copy them into Imageshack or whatever it is that one must do, and then paste the link into my next message so that you can all see what a clever person (I am guessing a clever lady) someone is...
So here goes: I've been told many times that I'm not at all photogenic - that means I am useless at taking pictures, right?
1. Before it was unwrapped, girt in shiny paper, a big heavy block of a gift, with a lovely message:
2. Then here it is unwrapped:
3. And the spine, which sent shivers down mine:
4. And would you believe it, when I was getting into bed, my feet found an unexpected something on my quilt, and on closer inspection it proved to be a really neat '3D' bookmark showing heavenly bodies (I don't remember mentioning that as an interest ... but it is); it can only have fallen from the package when I opened it, and makes a great improvement upon using bits of torn envelopes as a bookmark:
Whoever sent this book, you might like to know that when I awoke this moring, the first thought in my mind was to start reading it. I read about 20 pages before even getting out of bed! Thank yo so much!
There's what I got from Dwain. We don't have anything like this in the house but it goes quite well with the new furniture in our living room, so hopefully it'll stick around. Thanks Dwain. Merry Christmas to you too! I'm not sure what the rope is for, maybe you could 'enlighten' me.
