I'm gonna love it and squeeze it and call it Fred. Ok, maybe not Fred, but still.
THANK YOU
You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

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.

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

Thrive to spite them
Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one who hadn't sent their gift yet.
Christmas 2004 was really good to me. Amazon.com's wish list totally worked as a way to give Dad suggestions. He got me Jon Stewart's America the book, which totally blew me away because Dad's very conservative. And Mom rocked there were several small packages to unwrap and all told I had enough Christmas money to get a computer. I bought my last computer in 2000 (I think). Mom's original idea was to hide the gifts and leave clues, but then she just put a rhyme on one card which led us to the "life size" Raggedy Ann and Andy my brother and I got when we were little. The envelope was inside their clothes so my brother and I had to feel up Andy and Ann, which led to a lot of jokes.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I have a prezzie! From Raquel! The bestest Seekrit Santa there is!! I got Lush stuff so I can be one of the cool kids and finally try bath bombs! And glitter, and chocolate I can't read, and lip balms she made herself, as if she knew how horribly chapped my lips were at this very second! And, best of all, four bee-yoo-tiful pieces of art that I love love love and will be perfect for my very very bare wall, and that I'm going to buy frames for tonight. Thank you so much, Raquel!
So, my Seekrit Santa is the best, even BETTER than libkitty's, which was me, so that's high praise. (Note clever de-masking.) libkitty, I just couldn't wait to say that you are so welcome, and I'm go happy that you liked everything!!!!
ETA: Bwah! I checked my email AFTER posting, and libkitty had already figured me out! So, for the record, demasking was unneeded and that libkitty is smart as a tack!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Whee! I'm glad you revealed, Lilty. I actually remembered you and was afraid I'd burst with the not telling.
I too am a terrible slacker, but my package should be ready to go out tomorrow. I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

Eek! My SS has hit a little snag - I need more of something to complete it, and the store where I can get it is out. So it'll be at least the weekend before I can mail.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I am so brilliant. t /overwheening smugness
Also, and much more importantly, I am so lucky, because Lilty is wonderful.
And in other news, I think I finally get to meet buffistas when I head to the Bay Area, tomorrow! (I actually arrive the following day, as it saves me over $200 to overnight in Seattle. Unfortunately, I won't be there long enough to meet Seattle-istas.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'm nicely relieved that my Secret Santee got both her thingies (Hey Deena!), but nothing from my Secret Santa yet.

Not javachik
I'm skimming like a mad thing, because being on a computer means I'm back at work and wahhhh! I have a ton of work.
Thank you Sekrik Santa Ann W! Ann sent the most gorgeous hand knit socks, striped in gorgeous greens, cream, rust, brown. They're at home, not in front of me, but wow, did I mention hand knit? Really cool. You should see the way the curves are made. I'm a little afraid to actually wear them; they look like fabric art. And THEN, they came in the most amazing fabric wrapping - a beautiful burgundy fabric (is it organza?) scarf, with tiny jewels and beads sewn along the entire end with a colored wire, then gathered into a bunch and tied with a tassled twisted gold cord. It took my breath away, it was so gorgeous and then this beautiful handknit thing inside. Fabulous. Thanks so much! Loved the card, too.
Cards! Sail, I got your card and it's adorable. Kristin, loved your card, too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Java, I'm so glad you like them!
Also, I forgot to mention in the card that the socks are machine washable/dryable.
