Hi all,

Over the Thanksgiving holiday my MIL asked what she might get me for
Christmas. I pointed her to the Lee Valley website and supplied a listof
items I would be interested in. (given her financial limit). Well, today a
Fedex truck dropped off a nice sealed Lee Valley box, that is currently
sitting on the kitchen counter. SWMBO insists I not open it until
Christmas....I cannot stand it. I mean its just sitting there... looking
pretty... and beckoning me to open and caress whatever is inside. I can
almost hear it whisper my name...calling to me...

I need help coming up with a viable reason to open the box NOW. (I may also
need help with my tool addiction).

The only thing I can think of is that I must open the package just to insure
nothing is broken.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

PS. yes I know I have a wonderful mother-in-law




What's your full email address. I will send you my shipping address
soonest. Ship to me rush! I will keep it safe until I believe that you
have the moral strength to own it.
