Test of Patience, Attempt # 286

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Let it be known that today may be the first time I have ever practiced patience when it involves opening a birthday box. The package from Leah arrived more than a week before my birthday and Neil tells me the rules say one must open gifts on the day of the birthday. Well, he didn't say that exactly but he did confirm that yes, it is the rule to wait, so for once in a long while, I'm following the rules. Patience is a virtue that I have yet to attain in life... this is definitely a test to see how I'm progressing towards that goal. Leah, you are a cruel, cruel girl.
