CHEESE!!

Yesterday, the UPS person came by with a package for Momma and me. The return address was from Graham Cheese. It took me a minute to see this, and a minute longer to realize that this was a package that should probably be opened immediately. There's a very good chance that waiting until Christmas to open it would end badly, I reasoned. So, with Momma's permission, I took it into the kitchen and found this:



People, it's a four-pound circle of swiss cheese. FOUR POUNDS. Now, I am a very large fan of cheese - of all things dairy, really. But FOUR POUNDS? Whatever will two people, one of whom is perpetually on a diet, do with FOUR POUNDS of swiss cheese?

But it's for a good cause, as you can see here:



Purdue is an excellent university. I considered applying there at one point in my educational career. I'm not sure who in my family went there, but that's a story for another time. (I've got a great story of how my aunt paid for college that'll blow your socks off.)

So I did what anyone would do in my position. I read the card and saw that this FOUR POUND monstrosity arrived courtesy of my aunt and uncle. Let me just take a moment to tell you that my uncle is one of the few people who can best me in a game of quips. I'm so very proud of my uncle for really upping the ante with this gift.

Next, I found a proper place for FOUR POUNDS of swiss cheese to live:



Go Purdue! And a big AWESOME to the alumni association that decided that offering a FOUR POUND circle of cheese is a great fund-raising opportunity.
