Unexpected Treats and Medicine Cabinet Treasures
Today sucked, menstrually speaking. I felt that my cervix was being ripped apart and the neat thing is that it was being done 100% speculum-free! Hooray, my body has learned to dilate the cervix on its own, a Gynecologist's dream come true. I imagine it even makes the same sound that doors on the U.S.S. Enterprise make on Star Trek.
*pshhhhhht*
But I digress.
I returned home after driving for forty minutes of blissful Volkswagen seat-heating (oh the glory of that car feature). Brad and I were welcomed by an innocent-looking cardboard box at our door. I LOVE mail, especially the kind that comes in boxes. I'd be the bonehead that opened up the box of anthrax because I LOVE mail in boxes. It's titillating.
So we brought the box in and examined the outside. From Fiji's. Ooooh, candy.
Sure enough, smaller boxes of delectible chocolates filled the inside of the bigger box. OH RAPTURE! Not only did I get MAIL in a BOX, but it had SMALLER BOXES of CHOCOLATE!!! If my uterus wasn't threatening to fall out of my body, I'd have done the happy banana dance.
The mystery set in. No card. Nothing. I have NO IDEA who the Chocolate Saint was. Someone sent us this spectacular box of joy and then didn't take credit for the act. Random acts of kindness indeed. I will be enjoying the fruit of their altruistic act for .. oh who am I fooling, it will be a few days and the chocolate will be *poof*.
I chased a pecan caramel truffle with a muscle relaxer whose name I cannot pronounce and now I feel mighty nice. I don't even give a crap if my reproductive organs are having a full-on Civil War.
Thank you, whomever you may be, oh mighty Chocolate Benefactor.

Ok. After reading this, I HAD to go and open our door and make sure the UPS/MAIL person hadn't left me candy too. No such luck. Dammit!!!
One year a got a subscription to Rolling Stone from someone..and I still don't know who. I would prefer the chocolates though. What a nice thing to come home to.
Damn, I never get stuff like that. Besides, I'm the suspicious type that would call the bomb squad to open a box if I had no idea where it came from. Yeah, I'm paranoid, so what of it? Hee hee.
Umm, chocolate.
Hope you feel better.
xxxooo,

HA! Your uterus threatening to fall out. v funny.
You know- I never like the boxes of assorted chocolates because I have to spend the entire day biting into them, getting some sort of fruit mush inside and spitting them out again until I find that nectar of the Gods - caramel. And now (since all the bad weather in the Carribbean destroyed the one Orchid that produces the vanilla bean and real vanilla extract costs more than an ounce of gold) even those suck because everyone now uses that fake vanilla crap.
Anyway, enjoy your chocolates and be glad you don't live with me so you have some left to enjoy!
P.S. Emily - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're *not* after you! ;o)
Hmmm, I love chocolate, too, but when I read your post I found that what I really envied was the heated seats in your VW!! MY dream.

Hell yeah. If they make heated BOOSTER seats, I am SO there! :)
*Raises hand* I, too, am addicted to the heated seats of my VW. Can't part with the car even though it's somewhat of a lemon.
