I found a present for me under our tree tonight.
I know exactly what it is.
And I CAN'T WAIT to open it.
It's strange sort of. I mean, I knew I was getting these totally cool Nike running shoes I designed myself for Christmas. But I wasn't completely sure who I was getting them from. Tonight, while attempting to put the cheap train set around the tree (I quickly discovered Mommy was a bit too ambitious in thinking the little bit of track we have would stretch all the way around the evergreen sprouted in our living room), I noticed the box.
It's wrapped and beautiful.
The tag says to me, from Phidippides.
Very clever.
And now that I know they are RIGHT there, I have this sense of I'm-9-again-tearing-off-the-construction-paper-rings-on-the-countdown-chain-in-my-bedroom-I-can't-wait-to-open-my-presents excitement.

Exciting! It is a very fun time of year. Are you going to be at your home for Christmas?
Ohhhhhhhh fun! We need to see a running-shoe gallery on here when they're unveiled.
You will get a gallery when they are revealed, yes. Of course.
Jeannine, we'll be in Kearney on Christmas Day but home on Christmas Eve (though I have to work that day). On the 27th, we're going to Indiana to see my dad, and we'll be there until Sunday. I can't wait for the break from work. I'm off the 25-30. :) Can't wait. Work has been a pretty big bear lately. I'm ready to be done with it for awhile.
Cool Christmas Nikes vs. cool Christmas Asics. Which will win a race?
Nikes win -- because they were named after the Greek goddess of victory. Asics means ... uhh ... Japanese shoes.
