According to my work at home husband, package from vt has arrived for me!!!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.
YAY! I'm still sorry I screwed up before, but this makes up for it.

Package from VT chock full of goodies!!! Real VT maple syrup (hellooo pancake sunday!), VT chocolate, VT popcorn, a couple of local spice mix/rubs, Green Mountain coffee (just in time! We were all out of beans)! AND! two beautiful purple scarfs! Purple is my favorite color! One is thick and warm and a soft dark lavender and is traditional scarf shape. The other is brighter color, SUPER soft, and like a circle? um neckwarmer thing? I don't know the technical term! But it is beautiful.
Thank you so much, askye!!!!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Dawn!
I can't begin to thank you enough!!! You made my week!
It's what I live for! So glad you like it all. You'd think in an agricultural state there would be more food, but it took quite a bit of poking around to find authentic stuff.
Also, just an observation in general: Purple seems to be a very Buffista color!

Thrive to spite them
lisa so glad you liked them!
Weird, I thought I posted a response last night but somehow I didn't.
Purple does seem to be a very Buffista color.
The pattern called the neckwarmer a cowl. You should be able to pull it up over your mouth if you need to.
Also there was one more thing that didn't make it in, I thought it was with the food stuff, but since it wasn't aI'll send it along when I find it.

My knitter friend who was here this morning called it and Infinity scarf, which makes sense! She also thought it was beautiful. Of course it is 60 degrees and sunny here today so I won't be able to try it out right away. Soon enough, I'm sure.

authentic stuff
This was the best part! My husband keeps trying to hide the apple butter so that no one else will eat it. He swears it's better than what we get here. Let me know if you hear of any TJ's stuff that you want to try.
