You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better  

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. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's even worse. Cheap bastards.

Gonna have to be satisfied with getting the package by Dec. 29th, because shooting for the 24th would have added $25 to the cost. TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. Nuts. Geez, what happened to the days when I could ship priority for under fifteen dollars?

I think they guaranteed christmas delivery if you got it to the PO by noon today. I was able to do priority (the if it fits, it ships thing) on Monday for the normal amount, medium box was like $10.95, large was like $14.95? I don't know if this was a new cutoff thing they did this year, but noon the 21st was it if you wanted it there by the 25th.

Live and learn. Next year I'll make more of an effort to ship earlier in the month, that's for sure!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I received a package today! The card had no signature, and the UPS label covered the return address, so I have no idea who sent it.

I am debating whether to open up my array of gifties now, or wait until Christmas...

I feel like it was a new thing? I'd not heard about it before.

Perhaps it would make Mac feel better to beat them flat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I shipped a package today and was told that today is the last day for priority. I assume she meant, for delivery to get there by Christmas. Next year, Christmas shopping in August! Packages will be wrapped and ready to be mailed on December 1st!

Damn it, why do I procrastinate? Even when I know I'm doing it and exactly how much it will fuck me up? Stupid self.

Yeah, my return TJs package is not going out before Friday, I'm afraid.
