So you've heard this song before, but it sounds different when you're the one singing it! ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Got home from work yesterday to find my Barnes & Noble order (expected) and another large box waiting for me. At first, I was like, "Oh, good, my hiking boots came," and then I discovered it had arrived via FedEx, which my hiking boots most definitely would not have. I glanced at the label but didn't recognize the return address. So then I was like, "Huh, I wonder what it is." I honestly thought someone had mixed up packages and sent me something by mistake. :rofl: But I had to suspend my curiosity until I cooked dinner.
After dinner, I took the box to my room and opened it and saw this:
So then I started getting this tingly feeling inside, like, "I've seen something like this before." But really, why me? So I started unpacking the box and once I saw "RAK" on some of the envelopes, I started to get a little melty. I laid out the envelopes on the bed and just looked at them for a minute, bracing myself.
Like, seriously. I know y'all do this stuff, but I didn't expect to be a recipient. (No, seriously ... y'all are silly. But kind. And awesome.) By the time I was opening the envelopes and reading the notes and seeing all the truly wonderful treats you sent, I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
I really did need a pick-me-up yesterday. And then my mom wandered in and said, "What was in your mystery box?" and I explained to her what RAK is and I ended up getting teary. :cry: And I told my BFF about it and he was like, "People do stuff like that? OMG MAYBE THE WORLD ISN'T EVIL AFTER ALL!" Ha ha ha.
So many wonderful things!!!!! I really, truly love all of them! You guys know what I like better than a lot of people in my real life, ha ha. And the fact that you took time and effort to do this for a virtual stranger (get it? wa-waaaa) really does restore my faith in humanity. I'm going to do a blow-by-blow thank you post shortly, but I wanted to let you all know that the box arrived safely and I was indeed beyond surprised and so, so very thankful to you all! You have no idea. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
