Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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 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.

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.

Speaking of delicious- I just had an absolutely scrummy shower with my new cucumber soap.
