The box

    There's a box. The kids were occupied, so I shaved my legs, and when I was done, I could hear Max outside whimpering at something. It turned out to be a box. I got my Christmas shopping done, so I didn't order this box. Our address is on it, without a name. It's a mystery box. SO must have ordered it. I text him and told him that there's a box, but he hasn't said anything. Now this box is sitting at the end of my bed, watching me while I *attempt* to study. I've tried shaking the box, but there's no sounds. Whoever packed this box did an epic job with the packing paper/peanuts/bubblewrap/whatever. And it's light, super light. What could possibly be that light? The box is mocking me with it's secrets. I want to open it. I'm afraid to, because then SO might have gotten me something epic, and then what? The surprise would be over, and SO would be so disappointed. I can't do that to him. Hm.
    I just moved the box to the bookshelf, but I can feel it there. It keeps drawing my eyes. I can't seem to stop glancing at this box. It's a miracle my eyes haven't burned a hole in it by now.


    Stupid box. *sigh*

    Since it has no name on it, it isn't technically anyone else's property, so you would technically be within your rights to open said box. Just sayin'.

    @SaraMommy @fatchickonabike But what if it's something AWESOME and I ruin the surprise??

    @missmama5 But what if it's something awesome!! For all I know, it might be jewelry.

    ....Holy crap. What if it's a ring??? That would be awesome, and completely unacceptable to ruin the surprise!! I don't think it's a ring, but still...if it's something awesome like that, I don't want to ruin it! I'll just have to survive the taunting.

    @Marionettevie My guess is that he'll ask ME to wrap it...because he sucks at it.lol And I probably won't be opening until Christmas. *sigh*

    Fuck boxes. It could be nothing, in horror movies it's usually a head, or the next thing I can think of, a dick in a box
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone, You shine it when I'm alone. And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone.

    @missmama5 @foulmouthedsailor Dear Lord, I hope it is NOT a dick-in-the-box. I would be completely mortified, because stuff like that makes me giggle and cackle like a moron. Let's hope that is NOT the case.
    And I don't know what's in the box! I haven't even touched it since placing it on the shelf...It's still looking at me. *sigh*

    I just read all that and I still dont know whats in the box?!?!?!?!?! argh. did you get permission to open it? or find out if it is a gift for you? If so when can you open it? 
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
