Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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 got holiday cards from several people, but not from Steph.
Really? Bugger. I keep hoping that the weather here just delayed the mail.
I never ended up sending my Christmas cards, dammit. They were cute, too. A weiner dog was involved.
But I'm not sending out cards this year, just food.
...and what tasty food it was!
Deb, was "And Then Put Out the Light" released in the UK?
Yep. Pan McMillan, 1993, paperback.
Three really cool things from today:
1) I got my Secret Santa Present
2) my Secret Santa was also my secret Santee, the lovely -t
3) -t is a REALLY FRICKIN' AWESOME secret santa. I got three really cool ornaments (a Fishie and a Sea Horse and a Penguin!), a good luck fish, which is already hanging directly below the good luck symbol Nilly gave me, a really cute Christmas stocking that says Meow, and has a pocket with a mouse hidden in it (totally teh cute!), lots of chocolate (yum!), and a mini Zen garden, just like the bigger one I have wanted to buy for my desk work forever, but didn't have room for.

How fun that your Secret Santa and Secret Santee were the same.
What are the chances? (I'm sure many of the mathier people here can tell me that.)
Hee! I'm glad you liked everything Lee. When I got your package I kept looking at the return address, thinking "that looks familiar, why do I know that address?"
Hee. I wondered how you knew it was from me, when I didn't put my name in it, but then I thought you figured it out from the LA and Lush part.
I don't know what the chances are, sumi... I wonder if Nilly does? (I give everyone who signs up a number, and then use an online random sequence generator to match people up. When Lee & t came up as opposite numbers, I thought about switching them but decided it was kinda fun that way.)
For me 2004 was definitely The Year of the Baby , and not just because we had Nora in January. It seemed that every minute another Buffista sprog or potential had arrived or was on the way - Annabel, Owen, Emma; Nonian, Raquel, ms. hayden, Plei's Tenacious Blob, and I know I've forgotten others so please forgive me.
This place has got drool stains & teeth marks lately - I hope those Buffistas not interested in breeding aren't too annoyed. ;-)
I kept on writing - not as much as I'd hoped, but more than I feared. My job is going well. There are some clouds on the horizon at Dan's workplace, but we'll keep our eyes open and hope things work out.
All in all, 2004 was a pretty good year. I'm looking forward to 2005 - it starts with Nora's first birthday, which is a pretty good way to start.
