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 believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

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.

Being a Bitch Aunt is a grand and glorious occupation. Because you can always hand the squawling, leaking, squirming, frustrated mess back to the parentals and return home to your unchewed and unpeed-on peaceful home.

Wait, I have cats. Erase the unchewed and unpeed-on, add clawmarks and accusing kitty-eyes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

connie, you're forgetting the fur everywhere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The first half of 2004 was pretty spectacular for me - got married, got my MBA, got religion, got to meet some Buffistas, all wonderful.

The second half has been a lot of waiting and preparation and more waiting, but nothing particularly bad, so on balance, I'm gonna pronounce this a good to excellent year.

I am really looking forward to 2005, when I think some of the things I'm waiting for are actually going to happen.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Okay, I'm getting worried. No word from my Santee. And no box for me, but I haven't had time to check through all my mail to see if they tried to deliver it while I was gone.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Okay, I'm getting worried. No word from my Santee.

Same here. I'm a wee bit worried that he/she might have been all meh about the gift since it's socks--handknit, but socks all the same.

Thrive to spite them

Tomorrow (on my honor) the seekrit santa gift out.

I was going to do the final wrapping,etc last night but I got distracted by my shiny new computer.

Punishingly Intricate

Every time I see a new post here I think, "Maybe Santee received the gift!" but no. not yet. Next time I'm flying whereever and handing it to the person. I have no patience.

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

Anne, if it eases your worrying at all, I would have been totally psyched to receive your whitefonted gift.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If the giftee is me, I've been sick and so didn't go back to DC when I'd planned. I'll be able to pick up my mail tomorrow morning.
