A particularly good Monday
Alternatively titled “MY PARENTS ROCK!!!”
I received a large package at work today. I was surprised – I usually don’t receive packages at work and certainly wasn’t expecting one!
(I took a photo before opening it but my phone ate the photo – so you get this one!)
Then I saw who it was from – my parents!
What could it be…?
OH MY GOSH ONLY THE MOST COOLEST AWESOMEST HALLOWEEN GOODIE “BASKET” EVER!!!
And you won’t believe what it came with – Star Wars bling:
(Yeah, been chewing my nails)
Thanks Mom and Dad! I will share it with my coworkers! But not the rings, Twizzlers, or Sour Punch Straws. Ha.
This thoughtful package TOTALLY made my day! And it made me think, I am having a pretty good day, for a Monday!
- I received an award at work this morning and was recognized in front of the whole company. I didn’t even know I was being recognized!
- I was so (literally?) pumped after receiving the package that my strength workout seemed SUPER easy!
- My fur buddy Manny went in for a “toof” operation this morning (having all of his teeth removed) and made it through just fine!
- I was able to make a lunch date this week with Erin, even though we are both busy at work.
- I realized on the way to the office that my both ears in my headphones are now broken, but I had a spare pair at work. Muah ha ha!
What makes a good Monday for you?
Just making it through the day? Hee hee. That is sometimes how it is for me.
Who sends YOU surprise packages? To whom do YOU send surprise packages?
Besides my mom, my sister and other family members sometimes send me packages! And Gina and Courtney send me an awesome package before the marathon, check it out! –
Everything in the package was SO good. Especially those organic bars in the front left. And those Sticks & Twigs. And those crisps. And… yeah, you get the point.
I send packages to family, friends and internet friends too! I love sending things!

Your parents are awesome! Sounds like something mine would do for me. Isn’t that great?!
I’m having a rather good Monday, too — it’s kind of weird, actually.
Who sends me surprise packages?… um, does winning a giveaway I’d forgotten that I’d entered count? 😉 Sending surprise packages is way more fun, no matter to whom.
<3 <3
very nice monday indeed. so sweet of your parents to send the halloween goodies!
Getting mail, particularly packages, is so much fun! Your parents are so sweet. That reminds me, I need to send some mail to people…
That is so awesome of your parents! I love that you are geeking out over the star wars bling. Too funny. Congrats on the award!
My husband once had flowers sent to work (he ordered them from Afghanistan!) before a big race. I was so surprised and happy! 🙂
What a great care package! Your parents sound super awesome and fun! I loved the “surprise” package of baked goods that you sent me last year. 🙂
My college roommate and I send packages to each other once in awhile. It’s fun, but postage is also distressingly expensive.
Aww, I am happy you liked the baked stuff from last year! We are gearing up to do that again.
Where does your old roommate live? I agree – it DOES get expensive! Sometimes the cost of shipping is more than the worth of the actual item for me.
that is so cute!! my dad – oh i’m sorry, the easter bunny 😉 – still sends me & my sister packages each year for easter, and sometimes for valentine’s day too. although that’s probably not the easter bunny. 🙂
Awwww, the Star Wars goodie basket is perfect for you.
What did you get the award for? I can’t read all that shimmering crystal!
The award I received is recognition for customer service and team work on a project I worked on last spring 🙂
aww so glad you are having a great day!! my mom used to send me flowers at work before I had david and it made me feel so special. David now takes care of teh flowers. 🙂
What a great Monday!! I hope the afternoon is just as spectacular. Also, where did your mom find that crazy Darth Vader goodie basket??
I actually got a surprise box at work last week full of cookies from my mom. She sends me stuff occasionally. Getting mail is fun 🙂
I just sent a box of books to my friend down in CU.
And congrats on the award!
You should totally replace your wedding ring with the Darth Vader head 🙂
My mom bought the bucket and put all of the stuff in it like that! She said she worked on it last Friday.
Getting mail at work is especially fun! 🙂
Ha! I am going to tell Steven your idea 🙂
That is an awesome goodie basket. I am not even a Star Wars geek and I love those rings (though I’d probably share them with my Star Wars obssessed friends since they’d appreciate them more).
I have received some artwork from my niece in the mail, but otherwise, I don’t usually receive surprise packages. Love the idea though. Maybe I should send some!
Congrats on the award! I had my annual review today and received a very good rating. It has improved my Monday for sure. As did the 4 mile run I went on at lunch with my favorite running buddy.
Congrats on your good rating! 🙂 And running during lunch on a Monday?! = perfect!!!
Your parents totally rock! Star Wars bling is the best bling ever!! (It’s wrong how happy I am that my first theater movie was Star Wars and not something lame…LOL)
Happy Monday!
Your parents are awesome! I love that they did this!
I love surprising people with little things. In fact, I just made a pair of mittens for my daughter’s best friend and she’s bringing them to school for her tomorrow. I am so excited that I think I might burst while I wait for her to finish her day at school and come home and tell me what her friend said about them. Luckily I have a busy day tomorrow so I won’t have time to think about it much.
I loved the birthday surprise you gave me. That cake/cookie/whatever it is called was so yummy that my kids still talk about it.
Oh gosh! I cannot wait to hear what your daughter’s best friend thinks! What did the mittons look like?
Aww, thanks! I am happy you liked the Fruit Pizza! They are fun to make!
Yes, your parents rock! A halloween package sounds awesome! I especially love that they sent it to your work so you could share the love. That is always fun. I wish I could send more care packages to bloggy friends and family. I swear shipping starts to add up, but if I can shoot someone a fun card I will atleast do that!
Aww! That’s so sweet of them! And the Star Wars bling rocks! My mom is also my surprise-package sender 🙂
Wow, that IS a great Monday! How sweet of your parents! And that’s so great you got that award! I love surprise packages. There’s nothing like that. I LOVE sending them when I can think of something that would make someone’s day 🙂
That is a sweet ass package!! What an awesome surprise!!
Also, can I just say, I LOVE wedding rings. Theyre beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂
Your Monday did rock!!! Heck yeah!!!! Your parents are awesome!!! I really liked your “shout out” to Manny!!!! And a big Congratulations to you for your award and for being recognized!!!! Sending and receiving surprise mail makes you feel good!!!!
=^..^=
All your mothers doing, but you probably knew that. I did pay the postage though.
That was super cute of your parents!!! I am jealous!
You better recognize!!!! Recognize Kim for her awesome! Mucho Congratulations on your award! That’s excellent! Now along with your medal, you must carry that around with you everywhere. Splash water on your face if you must!
Thank you for your Manny shout out! I’ll show him and watch him blush!
Oh and how can I forget to mention how much your parents rock! What a fun surprise!!
You kept the Star Wars bling for yourself, right??
You know it! 🙂
The Star Wars ring bling was worth it, aside from all the candy.
