I’m home today, taking care of my guinea pig, Teddy, who recently underwent a rather big dental procedure for such a little guy. He’s feeling all weird-toothed and groggy, so I’m keeping an eye on him despite feeling rather helpless most of the time.

So I have to say, getting the mail today really helped make my day, because…

Goodies!

The official MVP box arrived.

Microsoft does good presentation:

Now what you’ll see next is more than one box, for another gift arrived today.

On the left side are the goodies from a random drawing done in the Microsoft Tech Community. I was lucky enough to be one of 10 winners. They loaded up this box just great!

On the right are the goodies that represent my MVP renewal. Last year, I received the actual award base; you add the little date discs to it as you progress in MVP-ship.

And of course, more stickers!

Thanks, Microsoft!
