abracanabraEven though it's not for another four days, I'm already tallying up the tribute:
From the lawyers of the world: the possibility of getting a small check because of a class action lawsuit against our title company
From grandparents-in-law: a not-small check and a gorgeous card
From Office Depot: a free pen if I pick it up on June 2nd.
From Minneapolis: a new library that I love and will be doing lots of writing work in this summer
From AMC: two free movie tickets to go see Omen on June 5th.
From my book club: yet another beautiful card and coupons for free shipping and handling and buy one/get one free
From my writing: an acceptance from a publication that pays in more than peanuts
From my mother-in-law: cucumber-scented bodywash and lotion
From the in-laws (actually given as an anniversary present, but taking place within the time period that I define free/wonderful things as being "birthday gifts" whether or not they are intended as such): a porch swing!
On the other hand, I'm quite confused by the "Denny's is Hiring!" brochure that was mailed to me by name. I don't want to work for Denny's!
