I *finally* responded to the questions my Secret Santa asked me via elfster, so, if that's you, um, sorry to keep you waiting! I keep meaning to fill out the Deena database but haven't done it yet. Perhaps I will go do that right now!
Edit:
OK, Deena database has been updated. That was fun!
Amazon has a comment section, so you can say things like "I just want a potato masher, doesn' have to be this one" or "I really want this color" or whatever.
C. Kret sent me another card with a beautiful magnetic bookmark. Wish you could see the smile on my face. How you hop from Colorado Springs, CO to Triboro, NY is impressive. A true Santa. Thank you.
a day without posts is sad.
A day that will live in infamy.

I've been saying that several times for the last few weeks because our Christmas show (Sunset Boulevard) opens tonight.
I have been Secret Santa'd! Suzi sent me a beautiful ornament for our Christmas tree. It's red and gold and gorgeous! (I'll try to get a picture of the tree soon.) Thank you, Suzi!!
