Woo! I'll get to LJ when I can wrestle my laptop back from DH. Although he has his own he is using mine right now because it is all available and handy in the living room. Grrr. I should go get his and set it up!
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
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 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

I have been to lj - the Bobby-made keychain is ADORABLE. And that card is fabulous.

I sent my secret Santa gift out last Thursday. The postal clerk said 6-8 business days, but I'm not hopeful that it will make it by Xmas. I'm still waiting on a package from Chicago that was sent to me two weeks ago.

Don't say that! I've yet to get packages in the mail, yeargh. I had to pick up special wrappings for some of my gifts (a 3' x 4' gift bag for one) and finish getting my S.S. gift gathered up. I've got it all, now, just have to get it packaged up.
Yay, for Lauragift! She does good gift. I love that card, it's teh cute.

Sail, this is cross-border, so I think it slows things down...

Now you're really making me weep, Sue. I have a package that's going cross-border. I didn't think being on the same continent would be that big a deal. You would think I'd know better after all the packages I mailed from overseas and always had to deal with shipping deadlines. Ah, well. I hope the niceness of my package charms my giftee enough to overlook the lateness. Of course, I could always call it a Boxing Day present.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My santa rocks! I'm currently wearing a beautiful, cosy, hand-made scarf that is in the perfect colors for me (soft blues, greens and lavenders with a subtle sparkle) and perusing the awsome ReadyMade book. My santa is also far too generous, because I also have new Buffy DVDs and a couple of very fun JPL stickers (one of which has quite the artful glamour shot of a rover). Thank you, Kat!
I'm seriously not taking this scarf off until I go to bed.

hey aurelia, I'm so glad you like the scarf. The box got there so QUICKLY! We put it in the mail late on Saturday, like after the PO closed.
So, go USPS!

Wow, that is quick.
I'm so glad you like the scarf.
The scarf and the book and the glayvin...
I'm thinking of putting the JPL Flight Hardware sticker with my collection of backstage passes. It's just the right size and if I laminate it, it'll fit right in. And maybe the ReadyMade book will provide some inspiration for building a kitty tree or other fun toy for the kittens I'm adopting.

I saw the book and immediately thought of you. It's Fantastic (just like you).
