EEEEE! Thank you, Theodosia!
Yesterday a big box arrived, filled with way too many presents for one person. There are bath salts and (my first ever) Lush bath bomb and an Anne Taintor notebook - how did she know I needed a new notebook, and I love Anne Taintor? - and books and a CD mix (with Headstones music!) and more. I don't know who is more fascinated by the wooden toy, the Blue-Eyed Boy or Dan. (Nora just wants to chew on it.) It's a tough call, but I think what most Buffistas would lust over the most is the desk calendar with fabulous illustrations and every day marked by a fictional event.
Seriously, you were far too generous. That doesn't mean I'm giving any of it back, of course. ::clutches gifts tightly::
P.S. keep in mind that I'm happy to act as a go-between, if any of you want to send a message to your secret giftee or santa.
This seems like a good place to tell Ginger I got her nice card. Thanks, Ginger.
Um, due to unforseen money situations I had to postpone sending my gift. So I'm going to send it out with something special.
Since my secret santee will
finally
be getting a package in the mail in a few days, I have now opened my own package and will be luxuriating in a Lush bath tonight. Whee! Thanks so much to DebetEsse (I'm guessing from the address)! And that spicy soap smells marvelous, too.
Dani, I'm so glad you liked it! I thought that "a little bit of this 'n that" might at least produce some good hits. :-)
Okay, I know this is not technically a Secret Santa gift, but whatever...
I HAVE AN iPOD. AND IT'S FANTASTIC AND I LOVE IT. I have named it "Halfrek". And I have it because of FANTASTIC WONDERFUL PEOPLE. Thank you.
Happy birthday, Emily!
edit: not connected to the Ipod - just a Happy Birthday wish, and hoping the party was brilliant.
Dear 2005,
So far, you are not winning any points with me. Yes, having one friend find a job and another one have more luck with temp assignments is a good step forward. However, the assorted break-ups and life-threatening illnesses that you're subjecting my friends to? Stop doing that. Right now.
