After many trials and travails, my gift has been mailed! Now it can finally be Christmas.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thrive to spite them
I love the holidays! Another department has an overabundance of food -- fudge, nuts, cookies, tangerines, oranges. A tenant is bringing up cookies..
No one is really around so I feel okay about eating at my desk (normally I'm not allowed because I have an image to project -- a receptionist should look competent and not be sticky-fingered).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I got Buffista cards in the mail!
I'm giggling at them, and wishing I had someone to hand 'em to.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Aurelia! I'm glad you liked it! I always feel dumb giving my own books, but someone told me it would be A Good Idea In This Case. :-)
And, Lexine, THANK YOU! DH had put your box with the stuff we're hiding from LB, thinking it was from my sister. I pointed out (gently) that my sister lives in NY, not CA, and that she has never sent a present that arrived before Dec. 24, and then he told me where it was. So now I have all sorts of sewing goodies, a gorgeous-smelling bath bomb, and a beautiful beaded ornament! (LB appropriated that right away, so maybe the "hiding things from LB" idea wasn't so off-base). AND Buffista business cards, for when I really MEAN BUSINESS.
(It's so nice to receive random sewing notions because there is no rage like the rage of needing JUST ONE MEASLY SNAP to finish something you've been working on for two hours, and then not having it.)
Thank you!

- bounce* *bounce* - I'm so glad you liked. I was not sure what sewing notions you needed, and am a sewing idiot, so I just took some guesses - glad I found something useful! The beaded ornament is hand made - one of my favorite hobbies.
Today just keeps getting better. Off to bounce around the office spreading good cheer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I got MachinaMail! And SailMail! Plus a couple things I'd ordered that I was beginning to think wouldn't arrive till '05, so that's a relief. The cards are gorgeous, each in their own very different way, but I swear there's a sort of glow coming off both of them.
And I got a wee parcel from Deb, too. It must be Christmas. Thanks, guys.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
2004 was the year I met FAQ Girl. All other events in my life pale in significance. When I think about how we met, I shake my head. It all seems so improbable. Yet, here it is, over six months later, and while we've had a few bumps in the road, we are still insanely happy together.
t edit and sluuuttt!

Jon, you two are so cute together. A great couple! It was so fun meeting you.
2004 was the year I finally got to meet some Buffistas after lurking around for years (going back to the TT days). I treasure each and every one of you.

When I met Jon earlier this year, he told me his girlfriend was in Canada.
It sounds kind of suspicious to me...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
When I met Jon earlier this year, he told me his girlfriend was in Canada.
Does she live in Alberta?
(Shit, her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver!)
