'Serenity'
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.
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.
hey Kat - just wanted to say that today went all el guapo and then I shifted my new calendar blocks to tomorrow and it made a very cool pattern. Thanks for saving the day.
Oooh! I'm so happy, Sox. I have box number two ready to go. I'm just waiting for the new month.
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.
(fwiw, I am still giftless. But I figure it's karma, because I am often unreliable and made of fail.)
I am often unreliable and made of fail.
Is that the British way of spelling "wonderful and made of win"? Is there a difference in pronunciation, on top of spelling?
I am still giftless
I can shoot an e-mail to your Secret Santa and see what happened - would you like me to do that, or would you rather wait?
Ah, you're a charmer, Nilly, and no mistake! No worries, though. I've stopped going hopefully down to the mailbox and am trying to be zen about it. But I thought I'd mention it just in case anything had gone astray in the mail.
Genuinely, though, it feels like karma; I know I haven't any moral highground to be whining about it.
And may I drop a big thank you shout for Nilly, for connecting between gifters and giftees and bringing much joy to the world?
