I Keep Getting Free Stuff...

.... And I LOVE it!

Last week thanks to one of my favorite bloggers, Emz, I won this...


All I did was introduce her to the wonders of my favorite Australian band, Sneaky Sound System.  She runs lots of marathons and needed some new tunes.  Check out her blog because she is super cool and totally inspirational!  AND how perfect is this gift card for helping me complete number 87 on my bucket list - Make an awesome running playlist!  Thank you Em!

Then yesterday in the mail I received this from REread!


It's a cute little deer brooch.  It was packaged in the most fun envelope made from pages of the Jungle Book. I always forget how great it is to get things in the mail!  It is so special especially in this day of the internet where you never get letters or packages in the mail - just bills.  Thank you ever so much!

Lastly, I received this....


It's a basket of tulips and a tomato plant from an old man named Bill who I talk to when I walk Heidi.  I will try to forget about the fact that the day before he said that I, "Didn't look like a vegetarian," because I'm "not skinny," but I'm "healthy looking and easy on the eye".  I will take this as a genuine welcome to the neighborhood and not an "I'm sorry I am an awkward old man" apology. He also flew the American flag outside his estate for me, and asked me to deliver a message to Obama for him....

So Mr. President, I'm not sure if you're a fan of Kelly Leigh Gets Busy, but if you are,  Bill would like me to tell you that he would very much appreciate it if you got the British troops out of the war.  Thanks!
