You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, Laga - I'm so glad it got on time, and more importantly, that Kooze's ceramics didn't break on it's way. It's super-durable ceramics, but I had my worries.

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

Shir your presents are wonderful and absolutely timely! I love my scarf so much I may have to wear it to bed tonight.

Laga, I'm so glad you got the package and that you enjoy it. It's great waking up to this news.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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

Ha! I went to college with Mr. March.

“Not dead yet!”

Ha! I went to college with Mr. March.

Mr. Hamm, I'm guessing? Since March was a veritable smorgasbord of Mad Men goodness. What cracks me up about Jon is when MM first premiered I would go on and on and, well, on, about this incredible actor on this incredible show and people (i.e. family) would give me the "Oh, there she goes again" look.

This year I've had to hear them go on and on and well, on, about this incredible actor on this incredible show and I just look at them and want to bop them over the head.

And in more World is a Really Small Place, my husband's cousin went to high school with Aaron Staton who plays Kenny.

Punishingly Intricate

And Matthew Weiner is my friend's cousin! 6 Degrees of Mad Men!

Okay, see, to me this is FAR more impressive. My letter to Santa had one wish and that was to be able to sit in on the skull sessions for that writing team. It would be like world's greatest Master Class.

Art Crawl!!!

I got an excellent random Christmas gift from a (non-buffista) online friend. How cool is that?

And just when co-worker and I were grousing about being the only two support staff in our office to brave the weather the last standing professional staffmember brought us homebaked goodies.

And the former office manager gave me a lovely hand crocheted scarf.
