I mailed off music to Kate P. and Katefate yesterday. And my signed book to Heather. All went out overnight so they should be arriving today, if the Creek don't rise or the terrorists don't win.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Oh yeah, I was distracted by all the Creek talk -- I finally mailed out the gift to my Santee today. Apologies, blahblahtardycakes.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My gift arrived fro m my secret santa. I just haven't opened it - I had to wait until I sent out my gift to my giftee( I have to make rules - it is a Thing) and I want to open my gift - but when I will be able to admire it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I finally sent my Secret Santa gift off today. The magical machine in the post office lobby that allows me to mail packages without waiting in line (how great is that?) told me it should be there by Thursday, I don't know if I believe it.
And I received my most excellent Secret santa gift from Lee days and days ago - sorry for making you worry! It made it here in good time and I love it! Lushy goodness - glitter, and dusting powder that I;d been wanting to try, and, look, more glitter! And penguins! And super dark chocolate, my favorite! Yay!
It came right when I was feeling kinda meh on the holiday season (and, needless to say, cheered me right up!) - this is the first Christmas I'm intentionally not celebrating, and it's weird. I've not celebrated before, because I was working or too broke or otherwise didn't feel like it, but this year I'm not celebrating because I Don't Celebrate Christmas and that's...strange. So I'm very glad that I decided to allow myself Buffista Xmassy fun!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I mailed off music to Kate P. and Katefate yesterday.
Woohoo! David, you rock. I, on the other hand, suck, and will be picking up the last components of my Secret Santa gift tonight and mailing it out tomorrow. I had intended to get it out this past weekend but was thwarted by 1) nasty stomach bug 2) flat tire 3) snowstorm.

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

I love that machine! The screen told me it would get to my giftee on a Friday but I don't think she got it until the following Monday. You might want to cross your fingers.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
BTW, I sent out ginger cake to some people last week. If anyone was expecting some, and didn't get it, please to let me know? It went out priority last Wednesday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay! -t, I'm glad you got it, and that it came at a good time. Sorry to have been a nudge, but I've had packages eaten by my post office before.

Sorry to have been a nudge
Heh, I was actually doing a guilt-induced do-not-read-Good-Riddance-until-package-is-sent thing, so I missed all the nudging until after. But I am sorry for not letting you know it arrived safely!
