Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."
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 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Well, today I feel like the new year has really begun. New President, I'm in a new city living with family, and hoping to find a new job soon.
Last year was a drag for me. It pales in comparison to the terrible things that others suffered, so I won't say it was horrible. But, I did get to a point where I could barely drag myself out of bed in the morning because I hated going to work, I felt unappreciated or respected, I felt like I was living in a cave, because my apartment was so closed in and I literally started thinking about suicide because I could not see a way out.
Well, in the tradition of "be careful what you wish for" I got freed from this rut by losing my job. Luckily for me, my favorite sister said, "come up and live here until you get a new job!" So, I have freedom from utility and rent bills, I'm living in the same town as my 2 favorite siblings and I just watched Barak Obama sworn in as President.
I'm thinking 2009 will be a better year for me.
I check back in on this in 6 months and see how I'm doing.

I have achieved GIFTED! Thank you JARS!
I have 2 skeins of beautiful pinky/purple soft yarn (which will become a hat to match my pink winter coat), some organic green tea (which made everything in the package smell delicious), some chocolate with raspberries Mmmmm!, a bag of mixed gummi candy (for immediate consumption after lunch today), and some candy with toy surprise for mac (how sweet! he will be thrilled).
THANK YOU THANK YOU! A great surprise on a messy cold day.

Oh I'm so glad you managed to read the card and figure out who it was from! It was only after I finished writing it that I realised how utterly illegible it was. I think I need that graph paper they make you practice on when you're a kid.
And again, I apologise for how horrifically late it was.

No worries. I actually think the gift I mailed out has been lost/stolen, so I'll get a replacement out to my giftee this weekend.

Swouncing
A quick skip-and-drive-by to mention to any Secret Santa who has anything to ask their giftees (whether already-mailed gifts have arrived, for example) or let them know (being late, shipping stuff and so forth), that I'd love to mediate any of these messages.
