I feel so spoiled on this special solstice day.

The lovely

angelskuuipo and her family sent me a box of love for the holidays. The box included some of my favorite memories from my Colorado trip this past October: Jim and Nick's BBQ cheddar biscuit mix, Bourbon Vanilla honey, Apple Cinnamon honey, Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Chai Seasoning spices.

It was like getting a little bit of Colorado right in my tiny Wisconsin home.

I also got a lovely and silly card from

dragonydreams.

Blessed be and Happy Yule!

I need to thank

sionnach_ayame for sending me Popular Season One. For those not in the know, Popular was around from 1999-2001. It was one of the first shows Ryan Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story) was involved with. I was always a sucker for the great cast - Leslie Bibb, Carlie Pope, Sara Rue, Christopher Gorham, Leslie Grossman, etc. I'm glad there's someone else out there who loved the show like I did.

I also need to thank

dragonydreams for the book "Red Queen" by Victoria Aveyard. It arrived today and I'm thrilled to read it.

Other thanks for out to

Thank you to

spike7451 for the lovely card. I adore the koala in the wreath. That's just the most cutest thing ever. :) Nick appreciated your wishes as well.

Thank you to

sionnach_ayame for granting one of my Amazon.com wishes. I'm definitely looking forward to reading The Goddess Test. It looks like a really fun book.

We had a staff potluck at work today and it was awesome. There was slow cooker roasted turkey, cheesy potatoes, sweet potato casserole, loaded baked potato soup, gluten-free corn bread, Oreo truffles and plenty of other things that I didn't even get around to trying because I was stuffed. I brought in Bretzeli, which is a Swiss butter cookie that my family has been making for generations.

We also had staff recognition. The director and two DVR supervisors put a slideshow together to recognize all 40 staff. Some were silly (one guy was recognized for the "best I-lost-my-wedding-ring-in-an-hour story") and some were serious (my co-worker was recognized for being the newest counselor with the most successful closures.") I was recognized as the most recent-diamond recipient and also the most likely to have a "dalek" at my wedding. Lorie, my direct supervisor, knows all about my love of Doctor Who because she actually keeps a Dalek on the bookshelf in her office. She had asked me about my wedding plans the other day and I had mentioned that a friend of mine had offered to loan us a full-sized Dalek and my dad said he knew someone who could loan us a TARDIS (which is my actual preference.)

What was kinda fun though was that reveal led my friend, Katy, to tell me that her and her fiance are also big Who fans and they are going to have a cake topper featuring two penguins walking into a TARDIS. I thought that was super cute and I love that I'm finding fellow geeks in DVR! (Now, I just have to figure out where the Buffy and HIMYM fans are and I'll be set for life. :P)

I want to thank the anonymous person who sent me a copy of "Giant" by Edna Ferber for the holidays.

It was very thoughtful and I look forward to reading it.

I was pleased to discover that my mailbox was chock full of lovely things today.

For starters, I got a nifty card and adorable pigs that I can hang on my tree from

novemberrain007.

Then, I got a package from the lovely

dragonydreams that gave me a much needed giggle. Thanks so much for the sweet card and the rubber ducky tie. It's a total hoot. :)
