WHEE!!!!!
I knew I couldn't send too much from here or you'd know it was me, thus the amazon stuff. I hope they are all in good shape since I bought used.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2012: If the world doesn't end, I'm going to need a note
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. 2012--better luck next time.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I finally had a chance to open the package that arrived yesterday. My Secret Santa sent me two bags of my very favorite Teavana tea. I was almost out of it, so thank you, Secret Santa!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I adore Cards Against Humanity, but it would probably get me banned forever from the inlaws' family Xmas. In other words, I am tempted.

Thrive to spite them
I'm ready for my end of the year wrap up even though it's not quite the end of the year.
I'm still in VT and loving it. Will and I are still going strong, we had a awesome vacation to Maine this fall and hope to do it again.
Both my parents visited and I got to go back home this summer so that was a win as well. I'm not travelling for Christmas but that's okay.
And I'm cautiously optimistic about 2013.
Not so great things - I had a set back with my bipolar disorder that was a slow downward slide for most of last year that finally came to a head in the summer. The good news is I have a great shrink and therapist and I'm working with both.
I didn't find full time work and had a huge blow to my confidence with a temp job and then the stress of another really brought the aforementioned things to ahead. I'm not working while I get my medication sorted out. But again, great team of doctors.
My cat Dean died this year, he was never quite right and finally I had to put him to sleep. This time last year I was reeling from his sister's sudden death. But my kitty Penny is healthy and a handful.
I learned to knit and have been knitting with mostly success. I discovered a love for board games and Will and I started playing them. I tried my hand at needle felting but not quite my thing. In 2013 I'm going to take a drop spindle spinning class.
My hopes for 2013 are: meds that work, a job, a lot less stress, and being able to see my family some.

Compassionately intolerant
I am in holiday heaven!
Jesse, thank you so much! It is like you've been reading my mind...or paying really close attention over the years.
Y'all, Jesse sent me the nicest box of goodies.
The first thing I saw, upon opening the box was a really cool 'snowflake' shaped ornament made entirely of recycled glass and plastic, by women in Ghana.
Next up, a beautifully wrapped bar of traditional Greek olive oil soap. It has a little evil eye and all.
Then, TWO of my absolutely favorite Lush bath bombs...Honeybee and Vanilla Fountain. Gorgeous baths are my thing right now and I've been missing Lush stuff. ohmygoodness, ohmygoodness, ohmygoodness.
Okay, so I have this passion for boxes. Can't say why. This beautiful little wooden box with a peace sign on the cover just makes me so happy.
And, as if that was not enough, the last item is a notepad...can't get enough of those either...with a design by my all-time favorite architect. Macintosh!
Seriously, it's like she's reread everything I've reported liking over the last nine years.
The card was really sweet too.
Jesse. I am SO appreciative of your thoughtful kindness. Thank you, thank you.
