Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've got a package from Israel!

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.

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!

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.

“Not dead yet!”

I made my Cabana Boy post today an homage to my lovely Seekrit Santa gift.

I'm still giggling like a loon.
