Some of the best things come in brown boxes

Today I got the most wonderful gift! Three people from SP, sent me a cheer me up package. It made me cry. In it were a couple boxes of 100 calorie snack packs, a keychain flashlight, Super "Curious George" who will be watching over the house, a gift card from that I can use to replace the "stolen" bath products, kitty treats for my kitties, and from my buddy Romeo...his favorite St. Louis Cardinals blanket/throw.

When I tried to explain to my cube partner what it represented, he just looked at me like I was "crazy". Well, maybe I am. But then he's a guy, and guys' just don't get it, sometimes.

So, I set Super "Curious George" by my phone to keep me smiling as my workday was a bitch and I put Romeo's blanket on my legs to keep me warm. The office is on the chilly side lately and it was like I had him watching over me, too!

A very nice day, indeed. And brown boxes rock!

Glad u like your surprise package. That Curious George use to watch over me and he is pretty good at it.

Romeo is glad you like his blanket. He loved to curl up in it. That too will keep you safe a warm.

BIG HUGS

Yep, SP is filled with wonderful people!! I still don't like going into the house, but it's getting easier. The true test will come when I spend the first night back there.
