Kris is a Good Friend

"Did you open the box?"  This is the question Kris posed to me today.  Of course i had not opened the box yet.  Things have been hectic around here.  Wedding planning is consuming more and more of my time.  Erin is doing approximately one hundred times more work on the wedding than i am, so you can imagine the pressure she is under.  But this story is not about the wedding.  This story is about the box.

"No, i have not opened it yet."

"You probably should," replied Kris.

And i promised i would open the box when i got home.  So i drove home from Warsaw determined to open the box.  I had no idea what might be in it.  It was given to me on Thursday along with two other presents.  In the hustle and bustle of the days events the box was all but forgotten.

The first thing Kris gave me was an odd magnetic circular object with a large plastic gem in the middle.  In and of itself it was interesting.  Then it turned out that he had supplied several of them in a range of colors.  Turns out it was a purse holder.  Neither of us have any use for them in their intended capacity, but they remain interesting and Erin will put them to good use.

The second gift was a tray of blue LED light up novelty ice cubes.  They are blue.  They light up.  It should be apparent to any of you who have read more than one post here that i was quite taken with them.  Kris is a good friend.

And we come to the box.  Plain brown cardboard.  It's dimensions were about 6'' x 6'' x 8''.  Inside was an object wrapped in a styrofoam sheet. I unwrapped the object and was pleased and perplexed.  Thanks to the handy megapixel camera that came with my Droid, you can see for yourself below:

Ok.  So far this is pretty cool.

Cool from this angle too.

That's right, it is a card box.

I am quite taken with my new card box. Sometimes i think Kris is a better friend than i deserve. Then again there are the times that i do something brings us closer to parity, to wit

This was the last thing i got for Kris.

Thank you, Kris.

Later
