Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...  

Closed Threads

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OMG! My husband walked in today and he was all "Um, did you order something from Israel?"

I squeed immediately and opened it and it's a rocking gorgeous teapot with LEMONS on it and some delicious hazelnut chocolates!

PERFECT! I love it so much. I have a small collection of teapots: an old one-serving brownstone teapot, a raku teapot from a distingushed ceramacist my mom bought when she was working at an art store and now this lovely teapot from a family in Jerusalem who has been making them for years.

It's really lovely, and I adore it. When I'm not using it, it will be displayed in my hutch!

Since I have the NOM chocolates, too, I'm going to say it's from Shir? But there was a reference in the lovely little letter that accompanied it that made a reference to being a Jewish mama, so maybe Nilly? I don't know!

Rav todot, havera sheli! Toda raba.

Wooo-hooo! It arrived in one piece! Really, I was extra worried about this one.

And yes, it's from me. I'm so glad chocolates are becoming my identifying mark here.

Yay, I thought it was you! How did I get so lucky? Last year, I got a present from Faye in Bangkok and this year, from Shir in Israel! I am so lucky to know all of you!

My thoughts exactly. And I'm very glad you're glad!

Everybody's glad!! And my friends last night are so jealous -- Jen was all "I wish I'd liked Buffy more, so I could have cool Internet friends..."

(Did I get the Hebrew right? I didn't call you a fish, or a perfume bottle or something, did I?)

My gifties go out tomorrow -- I bought bubble wrap and everything!

I'm a Cool Internet Friend! Fear me!

And the Hebrew is fine, I think (if it's supposed to be "thank you very much, my friend! Thank you"). I'm always touched when people who aren't speaking Hebrew are trying to translate things into it. It's fucking hard to get anything right.

The last part was supposed to be "you are very kind" but at least it wasn't "your mother was a llama" so it's good!

What do you mean, my mother was not a llama?!

OMG, you were NEVER TO KNOW! I am living in shame that I have revealed your dark family secret!

Llamas and secrets and lies! Evil lies!
