Anya ,'Storyteller'
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 2007? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
2007 consisted of:
A mixed bag. I have very low expectations for 2008 (see first bullet above), so maybe it'll surprise me.
You're welcome, babe. Glad you liked it! Because one of the things about having Kay Howard as a role model is that you don't learn to do cute things with people's Christmas gifts or carve ornaments out of soap and junk like that, so I'm always afraid my SS's get sort of cheated.

Not true.
carve ornaments out of soap
Of course, you could use John Dillinger as a role model and carve guns out of soap, instead!
Yeah, that's true.
My mail carrier is friendly, but not too bright. I ran into him yesterday and he asked if he'd left a package slip for me recently. "Um, no, but I am waiting on a package." "Oh, I think I have a package for you sitting next to my locker. I didn't catch you the last couple of days but I guess I didn't leave a package slip."
Sigh.
SS gift might make it before New Years.
Could be worse, aurelia. I found a notice on my mailbox this morning reading:
"Customers: mailboxes tilt out all at one time, but mailboxes do not stay tilted to disperse mail in. There boxes consider unsafe for until problem is resolved mail is held at post office."
Ookay.
Gotta love Chicago mail service.
Last week I got a "we're sorry you've declined your contract" e-mail from my summer job. I had to reply saying I never received a contract.
Eek, aurelia, here's hoping they will cheer in relief at that!
I am Very Proud, I managed to go buy my secret santa presents this evening (and one last present for the brother-in-law!). Now if I can just manage to find a box, and some tape, and go to the post office....
You know, you don't have to go to the post office if you have a place where you can leave a package for the mailman to pickup. I did the postage online, printed the label, paid with a credit card and the mailman who delivers at my office picked it up. No waiting in line.
