It was from Ten Thousand Villages, one of my favorite stores
I love that store too. My cousin Barney (Slayer) sometimes sends me beautiful items from the one in Lincoln, NE.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
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.

I've been trying to decide if I have anything particular to say about 2010. I had thought that there was really nothing but I think I was wrong. About this time two years ago I hit a major low and started going to therapy and when I started I'd go and have very upsetting sessions (which would leave me full of thought and stuff) but now - I go and I realize that I'm happy and thinking forward. I have to say that if you aren't me - everything looks kind of the same but I think change is happening from the inside out and I am a much happier person that I was. It makes sense that it would happen that way since I am an introvert and I believe that internal changes will beget external ones. So 2010 has been a good year of change for me.
