As the procrastinator I am, I decided I needed to leave the house today to get my Santee's gift sent out. On my way out of the house, I noticed that my mailbox had a "package delivery" slip in it. I knew immediately what it was, and rushed to the apartment manager to retrieve it.

Out the door and hitting up the bus to head to the post office, I ripped open the USPS shipping box to reveal a laminated paper sized thing, and a small box wrapped in black and silver. The laminated piece turned out to be a Dilbert comic, referencing gift cards. However, the box inside felt a little heavy to just be a gift card.

On the bus I try to carefully open the wrapped box (as if I am going to reuse the paper?) until the bus hits a bump. Then I tear into box like a 6 year old. Inside is a sweet leather wallet! It is filled with stuff. In fact, every pocket has something in it. My mind first goes to "Well, picture frames always have some sort of picture in them when you buy them, this must be like that." Then I actually look.

Gift cards. Eight of them. Best Buy, Game Stop (I said I liked to play PC video games.) Jamba Juice, Starbucks (I said I liked things that you put into your mouth to drink) Subway, Chipotle, Taco Bell (I had also said I like things that you put into your mouth to eat) and Target (fits any category.) Eight gift cards. All in all totalling over $75 worth of goods and services!

Sweet, right? As a foul bachelor who often doesn't want to cook, that is at least 5 meals right there! But wait! There's more! Look in the cash slot! (Exclamation point all the things?) Seeded paper! You know, one of those pieces of paper that you put under a little bit of dirt and water and flowers come up? I haven't decided if I am going to try and grow them, or if I will give them away. My aforementioned foul bachelorhood means that anything that sprouts will probably have a very short life indeed. We shall see. But also, cash money in there! BEER money. I love beer.

Of course, Blondeh may come to regret these gift cards. Because now she is probably going to get a picture sent to her every time I use one of them. And that could be a whole year of inane pictures being sent to her!

Thanks Blondeh. You're money, baby.
