For my secret santa: starting tomorrow, I won't be in the same place as my mail until Sunday, so please forgive any delays in squeeing this might cause.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
mmmmmmmmmmm, red currant.....
When I make a harvest tart (French creme patisserie, puff pastry) the top is covered in tiny champagne grapes, that have been glazed in melted red currant jelly.
To die for.

Our wings are not tired.
A very very pretty dreamcatcher
Pictures would be nice.
Now the currant talk has made me desire breakfast. Later...

Guh. Deb with the food porn again.
I'm nearly ready to send out my SS, and determined to get it out before x-mas, but that mean mailing it on Friday so it's likely to be at least a little late. I'm still dying to open the box I got from my Santa.
ETA: Ooh, and I got a lovely card from Sail. Thankee!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
My SS should get her basket today.
I didn't bother to make it anonymous because, well...shrink wrap. At this juncture, it would be a little pointless to try to pretend it isn't from me.
I hope she likes it...!

I hope she likes it...!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually got it yesterday & despite its ginormousosity I almost missed it because it was hidden amongst the great pile of cardboard and paper sitting on my porch waiting to be taking the curb for recycle pickup today.
When Kristin told the Great Shrinkwrap Adventure of 2004 story I had a premonition that it might be my present (actually I kind of skimmed the story because I didn't want to get spoiled for my present, der). And what a beautiful bounty of shrinkwrapped goodness she sent. Amongst other things (cuz I know i'll forget something):
- It's a Chick Thing book about women's friendships that has an essay by Dolly Parton in it so I know it must be good stuff.
- A buttload of most fancy and wonderful chocolates--Lindt truffles, a toblerone bar, a dark chocolate with hazlenuts and currants (speaking of...) that I must wait to eat until I really deserve a treat that exceptional.
- Some clementines and a grapefruit. yay Winter Citrus traditions!
- Grapefruit and bergamot lotion. so yummy.
- Grapefruit and thyme linen spray that I sprayed right on the dishtowel by my sink. Perfect!
- a pear candle that I think will also go in the kitchen.
So so very nice. I feel so fortunate to be on the receiving end of such thoughtful generosity. Mwah!!!
(oh also enclosed was a Christmas card with the cutest picture of Kristin's very furry family. The Puppy!!! It's ear's all floppy!!!!)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
SQUEEE!!!!! Nonian!!! I got it!!!
After many misadventures trying to connect with the UPS driver, I finally got my hands on a sent package from Amaranth. I opened it up, and the prettiest stained glass window I've ever seen was enclosed - The Notre Dame Rose. Wow. I'm going to have a lot of fun figuring out the best window to hang this in. Thank you!!!!!

Trust my rage
I'm so glad you got it! And like it! I was starting to get worried and I stupidly erased their confirmation e-mail last last week.
I had actually picked out something else, but then we were talking about stained glass and I love their stuff.
Happy Holidays!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
My secret santa gift is going to be delayed going out because Kara stole part of it yesterday and I have yet to find it.

just went to post office and it is not so much like hell as i thought it would be. SO my santee should have something soon. I'm guessing by Monday.
