You should take a look at Boxwood Home's website for candles or anything else you might need to spruce up your place. I literally don't see anything I wouldn't want to own.
One of these days I hope to visit Rehoboth Beach (its a world gay heritage site you know) and when I do this will be my first stop. Unless I manage to track down the address for HG's beach house, then I'm stopping there first to demand gin and tonic, then a ride to Boxwood Home on the back of her Vespa. Thank you to HG and Boxwood Home!

The other cool thing that happened was my company's holiday lunch. We're privately held, and as such we're treated really well. So well in fact, that in the year you hit your ten year anniversary, which I did in September, you get recognized at the holiday lunch with a gift.
Rather than a catalog of stuff you really can't get excited about (like my 10 year pocket multi-tool I got when I worked at Sprint), we get to make an appointment with Kansas City's old-guard jeweler, Tivol, to pick out a watch.
Before you think it's all crazy and limitless, it's not. But what the company pays is truly generous, and we're welcome to add to it ourselves to get the timepiece we really want. I banked my tax refund this year in anticipation and for not even all of that ended up with something I really love, my steel Rolex GMT-Master II.
Inscribed with our company logo, a 10 year anniversary notation and my initials, I put it back in the box to take a picture. Even the box and paperwork are beautiful. And other than when I'm asleep that's the longest it's been off my wrist since noon on Wednesday.I know just how incredibly lucky I am to work where I do, where we're treated so generously and graciously, and it really is an organization I'm happy to be a part of.

Congratulations on a) winning the candle and b)10 years service! IEven though incredibly happy where I work, we are funded by the Canadian Taxpayer and thus unable to spend a cent on staff appreciation!
Oh, I will have a G&T waiting! And you can use my husband's Vespa and we'll ride over to Boxwood together, stop at Lori's Oy Vey Cafe for a sandwich and walk over to the Blue Moon to see Miss Richfield 1981!!
Glad you like the candle. Happy Christmas, David.
That's a NICE reward, well deserved no doubt.
If you go to Rehoboth, you'd better let me know, too! I am only a few hours from there.
And you'll love "poodle beach" in reho!
