Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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.

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

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.

msbelle beat me to it! Which is fine, because she is The Nicest.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My Secret Santa gift arrived! We were playing paintball and the maillady showed up. There was tea (we all agreed that it smelled very nice), and a shawl pin (pretty!), and pretty earrings, and cookies, and an Ahnk-Morpork Reporter Mug (yay, Discworld!)! And I did some sleuthing (not that much, except that the Internet at my parents' house is...spotty, so everything is an adventure), and I think my "A. S. Santa" was Amy! Thank you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, I am so glad you liked the present.

Love! I almost want to leave the soaps in my office, because they smell so good, but I think in real life I'd rather use them! Mmmmmm.

Because books.

It was me! Yay for gifts arriving! I hope the cookies weren't stale by the time they got there.

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

Brenda, I'm so glad you and Darby enjoyed your gifts! I had a lot of fun putting the package together. Perkins, I'm relieved to hear your package got to you.

Also awesome - the delicious sweet/salty corn puffy stuff I am currently stuffing my face with. I didn't know what it was but my sister made grabby hands as soon as it came out of the wrapping.

That stuff (I can't remember what the place calls it) is caramel-coated crack. I don't dare keep it around.
