Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

eta eta: We were discussing the TJ's exchange today. I never got an email about it. I hope that's because there were more potential senders than sendees, and I wasn't needed, and not that I lost an email or something, and someone out there's losing out. IF THAT'S THE CASE, I will certainly rectify ASAP.

Eek. It's actually because I somehow missed that you wanted to be in on it. Sorry about that.

Next year, I will make sure you are involved if we do it again.

Okay, cool! I just didn't want to have someone out there waiting for a TJ's package.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would not be upset by a TJs package, and I know I never signed up. Rumor has it that FTW will be getting a TJs in the next year or so, but in the meantime any not super unhealthy snacks and/or ethnic foods would a fun thing to find on my doorstep. not that anyone should feel obligated.

I smell a plan in the making!

The internet has eaten my brain, because I first read "...FTW..." as For the Win. But I figured it out.

I can do that. Could you send me your address?

Most of the things that I love at TJ's that are shippable probably fall under some definition of unhealthy and/or ethnic, but I'll see what I can come up with. TJ's is full of goodness!

ethnic was a yes, I re-read what I wrote and it was pretty unclear. So mostly healthy OR, ethnic. Those would be good.

I will email you my address.

In related snacky news - I think I have before raved about the honey cinnamon almonds at Target (archer farms brand, I think), well not that good, but still very yums are the Planters Creme Brulee almonds and also the Pumpkin spice ones.

See how I can get unhealthy things if they are things mac will not eat. He will just forego all other foods for the unhealthy, so I have to watch it. Luckily he dislikes nuts (crazy).

It's so nice reading all the happies! I knew I didn't have the time/energy to do it this year, but I still like reading everyone else's!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh msbelle, that poster is wonderful! And I love Matt's idea. It could even be ongoing. Just every so often, because we all need a little reminder that we are loved.
