Yesterday I came home to find a box from Amazon waiting for me. I assumed it was a textbook my brother had ordered for next semester, but it was mysteriously addressed to me.

A friend I haven’t seen since graduation (and, admittedly, probably even longer than that) sent me Mindy Kaling’s new book, “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns).” I was utterly blown away. My Facebook status had mentioned I’d forgotten to put it on my Christmas list and she took it upon herself to get it for me since I’d been having a rough week.

Probably the nicest random thing anyone’s ever done for me. So very sweet.

A little kick in the pants to make sure I try to reach out to old friends this year 🙂 Meredith, next time I’m in Boston I’m taking you out for lunch and we’re catching up.
