Happy Surprises

When I got home from work last night there was a beatup package sitting in the middle of my driveway in front of my garage. I knew immediately that it was a birthday present from my friend Alicia. I love early and late birthday presents because they spread out the joy a little longer. I opened it up to find this cool letter S. Alicia also has a typography obession so I think she needs to go back to the store where she got this and get herself a letter A because it's so cool. Now I have to find the perfect place for my S.

Later that evening Donny and Jessica stopped by with a new family member. Meet Dudley!

He is the cutest, softest, calmest four-month-old puppy you have ever met. Donny and Jessica love their cats so I've always thought of them as cat people, and I was totally surprised when they showed up with Dudley. Hopefully we'll have a chance to pet-sit for them sometime.

As if all of that wasn't enough to provide us with a happy evening, Larry and I stopped at Target and they had some of their Halloween stuff out. You all know Larry is a junkfood junkie, and I only encourage him. He loves vanilla flavored Tootsie rolls so he buys bags of them every Halloween and he hoards them all year. He even has a little left from last Halloween. Of course we had to replenish is stock and then we had to try green apple flavored candy corn because we were just too curious and the same goes for the new tiny cans of Jones Soda. Come on, who doesn't need to try spiced cider and candy corn falvored soda? (yes, I know it's a little weird that we bought soda flavored like candy corn and candy corn flavored like green apples).
