Pika Pika!

So I'm looking through the parcels that have been delivered to me, and I come upon a small package, only a few inches in diameter. As I do not recall ordering anything of this size, I immediately suspect it was shipped in err, or that it is some sort of method of my destruction. Wearily, I open the box, ready for anthrax, a bomb - just ready for anything.

Imagine my surprise when this was the face staring at me:



Knowing I hadn't ordered this adorable little mouse, I was still nonplussed. It was only after reading the accompanying slip that was inside the box, that I was able to understand that I had won third place in a contest sponsored by Armour brand meats that I had entered months ago and promptly forgotten about.

Needless to say, I was suprised. This was the second time within a month I had won a toy of some sort (the other one will be published in an upcoming entry), when usually my luck with winning anything is slim to none, and slim's left town. Could this herald a change in my fortune, or is it just random.
