Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Because books.

My seekrit Santa gift is going in the mail today, with some overseas gifts. Late, as usual. Fingers crossed the post office has its collective shit together this year.

This year was up and down for me. Started off with a new baby, who was an unexpected and lovely gift, and sped into hellish writing deadlines -- and the unlovely surprise of that project imploding. But around that time I discovered this place, which I love.

Sold two other books, which was very good, despite agreeing to impractical deadlines (at least with a baby in the house). And then we found out we had to move, very unexpectedly and very quickly. That sucked, to be quite plain, but while we don't love where we are, the kids didn't have to change schools and we actually have more space than we did before.

Stephen's mom died, which was not unexpected but still very difficult, and Oldest Son is embracing the attitude of a thirteen-year-old with a vengeance. But we're still here, we're still together, and we laugh a lot. Hoping 2005 accomplishes that, too, if nothing else.

So, there was one comment that I should wait until Christmas - any other advice? The box is sitting on the table at home...just sitting. Of course, I'm at work, but I can still hear it calling me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Caution: I'm also the girl that's figured out how to view what's been purchased for her from her Amazon Wish List.

Patience and I are practically strangers. Sure, we've met a few times but we're not close.

Oh breathen, if you don't take that I want it...that is SOOOO me. It has been torture having that box sitting there mocking my indecision. I just did not know proper seekrit santa procedure.

I'm heading out for the ortho soon (broke my glued in retainer...fun), then I can go home!!!
