I got a fabulous package from Deena yesterday! It was from Ten Thousand Villages, one of my favorite stores, and it had a gorgeous red-and-black embroidered purse from Laos -- big enough to fit a book, which is key -- and three delicious-smelling soaps from India. I can't wait to use them all! Also, the package was gift-wrapped with a very pretty little star ornament on top, which is the second ornament I received from Deena, since she also sent me a beautiful red-and-gold one from Suzi several weeks ago. Thank you, thank you, Deena!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
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 2010? We have a few words for you.

Oh, good! I'm glad the gift finally made it to you, Jars.

I love that store too. My cousin Barney (Slayer) sometimes sends me beautiful items from the one in Lincoln, NE.

Yay! I'm so glad you like it Kate! I was a little worried since it wasn't actually on any wish list, but that's one of my favorite stores too.

I'm a part of the slacker exchange as well this year. Neither sent mine (though I'll start working on it and hopefully, send it within the next two weeks) nor received, but I just wanted to tell to whoever got my name in it: if there are any troubles with finding me anything, you may want to ping Nilly and ask her for the list I sent her last year. I believe the indications are somewhat more clear there. Again, just in case of troubles and worries and concerns and etc..

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I too am a slacker. I have bought a few things but I need to get a few more before sending.

So, I was not only a slacker about sending my gift, I was a slacker about opening mine. And I was dumb, because it's AWESOME!!!
The fabulous Perkins sent me a bunch of chocolates and 2 fabulous pairs of earrings. She also apparently thinks I'm an lush because there were cool cocktail napkins, a 3 Olives cocktail book and a really neat book "Cooking with Booze".
Okay, maybe she knows I'm a lush. Thanks, Perkins!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
One of us! One of us!
I had some help with the earring selection--I hope you like them.

I had my first mojito tonight, and of course I thought of the always awesome Perkins. It was tasty.
