So this is shaping up to be the weirdest birthday.  Since my birthday technically isn’t for another three days I’m going to chop this up into parts in case anything else strange happens.

Part one involves a rather large styrofoam package being delivered to my office:

Upon opening….

And finally, contents are revealed:

One very large cheese wheel, two “Trail Bologna” packs and two reusable freezer pack things.

Gotta hand it to my mom for always doing something….different.  Now the race is on to devour the bologna before it out dates on May 11th.  I have a feeling I have less time than that as it starts to harden up once the package is opened – and since it hasn’t been properly refrigerated for the past couple days on its journey that probably shortens my time even more.  I think I’m going to have to enlist some help.  The cheese faces similar problems – as mold begins as soon as the package is popped, and a chunk that big would ordinarily take me a month or two to work through.  I’ll have to make some Alfredo pasta or something this weekend….

thanks, mom!
