i'll chime in on how great my secret pal is...
my secret pal, curveymomma, sent me a box of assorted Carolina Hurricanes and Carolina Panthers things. I got totes, socks, widow decals, antenna topper, etc. It was awesome! She is very good about contacting me every week. She contacted me for my birthday on Saturday and we are now friends on facebook. She's great. I hope to keep her as a friend after this quarter of "pals".
