'War Stories'
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.
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!
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.
(psssssst, Deena, SA was looking for you over in Natter. Did she find you??)
She did, thanks java!
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.
sumi, that's wonderful. And it hasn't gone unnoticed. There's been a noticeable positive change in the tone of your posts. It's good to hear that it's part of a more general good change in your life.
Wow, I didn't realize that you could sense that change. That is really good to know.
That's super great to hear, sumi. Good for you for going through the work it takes.
My gift has arrived! Well, technically it arrived a few days ago, but in a mail receptacle other than the one the postman left notice of, so it took a bit to clear up the confusion. Someone who remains very secretive sent me a Winchester Brothers T-shirt and a great Better Off Ted DVD set. Thanks Slacker Santa!
