Yes last year I got an autographed BTTF postcard (autographs certified) and the previous year an iPod shuffle (my SS read that the one I had was stolen and gave me his used one).

According to amdskip, my SS bought this and ended up not liking it and going with an iPod instead. Guess instead of getting his money back he decided to send it. Still can't get over it. A 30 GB Zune is nuts! Transferring my mp3s now! :D

Thanks sooo much. I just got my Daytona 500 tix in the mail 2 weeks ago so this adds even more excitement for me for the upcoming season.

That is not true... some girls did participate and maybe they like to draw stuff and wrap things nicely!!!!! ;)

I wrapped mine. It wasn't the best, but the box wasn't exactly square.

I got my second set of gifts from my second Secret Santa yesterday! Whoever you are, SS, you're very generous Not only did I get 2 very excellent gifts (see pics below), my Santa contributed $68 to the Child's Play Children Hospitals!
Yay!!!

Wrapped Gifts and Card
Gifts unwrapped - I really love the fact that you included a custom Chrono Trigger mousepad :) I was in need of a new mousepad (old one had coffee stains) and I'm a huge Chrono Trigger fan, so it was the perfect gift!

I also like the Discovery Channel's Shark Week anniversary gift box. I only got to see part of last year's, so now I get to see much more. Sharks get bad publicity :( , but at least this series shows them as they are.

Thanks again for the cool gifts and donation! Best SS year ever :)

A big :thumbsup: for the Zune and the "where'd it go?" (lol) :) Make sure you get the new firmware (though you probably know that already), I think it's 2.3. I just tried using a JPEG ebook on my Zune a couple days ago - not perfect, but it's pretty cool, considering I only got it to play mp3s and AMVs.

My gift just arrived yesterday. Thanks Secret Santa. :)

New Books to Read...


I just checked the tracking on the package I sent out. It looks like USPS attempted delivery but no one was home to sign for the package. Hopefully he will be home today when they attempt the second delivery.

Now that I don't have to work and have the week off, I actually have a few moments to myself!!! woot!! I got these a good number of days ago, but didn't get a chance to snap any pictures until now, so here's my gifts. I'll be waiting until Xmas to open them, though I'm very excited to see what they are!! Thanks so much SS, I can't wait to open them up. I'll be sure to take some more pics too.

Got mine today! I'm so stoked! Looks like my SS definitely did his/her homework on this as I'm very into VW and of course fishing. I'll be able to use the GC towards a new fly reel and I'll Velcro the car to my dashboard. Thanks SS, you made my day!!

Nice little note
And the goods!!
