Buffy ,'Chosen'
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 mailed off my package to my secret giftee today too!! Yay! I hope they like it. (eep!)
Beware, gifters! The very snooty lady at the post office was oh so kind to point out to me that they *prefer* holiday packages to be mailed by the 14th.
"Uh-huh. I'd *prefer* to be less hungry and independently wealthy. How 'bout you just tell me how much I owe you, m'kay pumpkin?"
Yeesh. ONE DAY after the cut off date. Thank goodness my box was up to code. The poor dude in front of me wasn't as lucky.
Yikes - I am behind. I checked my stash of stuff and I feel like I'm missing a key something, but that something is being DARNED elusive.
My package was sent out on Tuesday, I think.
Anne! I came home tonight to yummy fruitcake. From you! Thank you!
The fruitcake is awesome, btw. Absotively awesome. Excuse me while I go stuff my face with another bite.
Er, my package is in no way getting out for delivery by Christmas. It will be a lovely New Year's surprise.
I'm waiting on part of my secret santa gift to get to *me* before I can send it off to the intended recipient. I should have the goodies by Monday, at which point I can turn around and mail it that day, since I have all the other stuff. But it may not get to my secret santee by Xmas.
I've always thought that extending the joy is a good thing. When every present is open by noon on Christmas Day, the rest of the holiday seems is a little anticlimactic.
I mailed my gift yesterday. Just in time, it seems. this is my first Buffista seekret santa exchange. I do hope my giftee enjoys their loot!
this has been a frustrating year. I've gotten deeper in debt and put on weight, despite working to not do either.
I, too am working on a book. It is a field guide to art deco buildings in Kansas City. I haven't made a lot of headway on it this year, but I haven't given up entirely either.
Shortly, before this month ends I'll turn 50. This is not a happy thing, as I still don't have my shit together and am still kinda waiting for my life to begin. You know, the one where I have a career, a home, and a spouse. It is probubly time for me to finally admit that none of those things are going to happen.

You should've told her you were working off the Buffista calendar. This (and a much shorter line) is why I use the self-serve machine.
Thank you, Seekrit Santa. The amber earrings are beautiful. I wore them last night and got compliments on them.
I have sent off my gift. I hope it gets there. The person at the UPS store said the computer didn't recognize the name of the town.
