Whee! I was just checking in to see if it arrived. I had already selected the other things when I saw the t-shirt that I couldn't resist. Enjoy! It was great fun to be your Santa!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

I was just checking in to see if it arrived.
Don't ask me how the FedEx dude did it, either. I found a note on the downstairs security door from UPS for some stuff I ordered for Christmas from Lush. I expected to see a FedEx note too and was a little dissappointed when there wasn't one. Imagine my surprise when I got upstairs and saw a package sitting in front of my door! The FedEx man is magic around here, I guess.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've been enjoying an early Christmas present -- DVDs of one of my favorite TV shows -- and thought I'd take a break from rolling around on the floor laughing to share this little gem:
----------
I wonder if I might crave your momentary indulgence in order to discharge a by no means disagreeable obligation which has, over the years, become more or less established practice as we approach the terminal period of the year -- calendar, of course, not financial -- in fact, not to put too fine a point on it, Week Fifty-One -- and submit to you, with all appropriate deference, for your consideration at a convenient juncture, a sincere and sanguine expectation -- indeed confidence -- indeed one might go so far as to say hope -- that the aforementioned period may be, at the end of the day, when all relevant factors have been taken into consideration, susceptible to being deemed to be such as to merit a final verdict of having been by no means unsatisfactory in its overall outcome and, in the final analysis, to give grounds for being judged, on mature reflection, to have been conducive to generating a degree of gratification which will be seen in retrospect to have been significantly higher than the general average.
In other words: "Happy Christmas!"
----------

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yay, MFNlaw! I was hoping it would arrive today. I have no idea when part 2 will arrive, since it is being shipped from elsewhere.
I've never heard of Wrapsacks before
So far that particular wrapsack has had all Buffista travels. I got it from -t last year as part of the secret santa gift.

Hee! Also, Gah, earwormed now.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Deb, Deb, Deb, Deb, Deb, it's here!!!
Do you know I've never tried pesto? It's one of those things I've always meant to get around to. My secret santa sent me a jar of pesto sauce! She read my mind! Oh, but that's not all. She also sent me these adorable little bottles of balsamic vinaigrette and garlic oil, and a tiny jar of stone ground mustard (I LOVE THAT STUFF!), a bag of dried mango, some lovely little non pareils (which Kara has sampled [as have I] and declared them perfect). Some little green frogs for the babies; chocolate coins in holiday foil! A package of chocolate from the netherlands (cunningly wrapped to look like miniature gold bars) and a small irish whiskey cake (I've been told I'm sharing that with Greg)! a dark chocolate filled wafer cookie that looks like sin in a slender package, AND a package of four lovely little tea light candles in gorgeously frosted purple, red, orange and yellow glass holders.
So COOL. I'm all bouncy. THANK YOU! (And the card says more is on the way. Wow.)

Deena, that package sounds scrumptious. Lucky you, having deb pick the stuff, you know it's gonna taste great.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
It got there! WOOOOOT!
Deena, bebe, this is the silly package. The big prezzie is on its way. I'm betting Tuesday, but if it shows up? I'm-a happy.
And did you like the card? On, Fluffy!
And of course, I couldn't exactly ask to see your entry in the database....
