Yeah, there's apparently still more crap to come, so I'm going to save real venting about the hell of 2008 until it is well and truly gone.
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.
I've got a package from Israel!
Holy shit is this a Pashmina scarf?
I got Shir's Christmas present cherry! (I know you're all jealous) I'm spreading it out over multiple posts to prolong the awesome experience.
Here are two beautiful ceramic dishes which go shockingly well with my favorite little bowl.
Here's a delicate fabric and metal box containing three delicious soaps, cucumber, peach and french vanilla.
We demand pictures! Preferably with you holding them and beaming.
And finally, a box of pure dark chocolate thins by "the bald man, Max Brenner" which comes with the following warnings:
Attention! Cocoa substances can contribute to your well-being- Chocolate addiction is fun
Attention! Cocoa substances may contribute to mood enhancement- get addicted be happy
Shir thank-you so much for the wonderful gifts. I'm wearing the scarf and eating the chocolate right now... AIFG!
We demand pictures! Preferably with you holding them and beaming.
Alright, here's what I came up with on my own. The scarf has paisleys!
edit: I added my chipped little bowl to the photo so you can see the similarity.
Oooh, all lovely -- that scarf looks good enough to eat, too.
I made my Cabana Boy post today an homage to my lovely Seekrit Santa gift.
I'm still giggling like a loon.
