Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

again, if anyone is in need of assistance to make things work, buzz me. we have people willing and able to jump in and assist.

"In the early years of the last century, the U.S. Congress considered a bold and ingenious plan that would simultaneously solve two pressing problems — a national meat shortage and a growing ecological crisis. The plan was this: hippopotamus ranching."

And the guys got home and I opened my lovely box of treats. I am so delighted.
I'm so glad you liked your treats. I had fun putting the package together for you. I thought about a big box of just bubble wrap but then I thought you would use it for the move instead of protecting you from the world.

That period between sending off your gift and its eventual arrival. Hard, or THE HARDEST?

I vote for THE HARDEST.
My gift's eta at its recipient's place of work was yesterday or today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That period between sending off your gift and its eventual arrival. Hard, or THE HARDEST?
Not as hard as the period between getting your present (at work, which makes me think I know who they are from) (which makes me smile A LOT)and being able to open them.
I am telling myself I will wait until I get home to unwrap everything, but I am not sure that will happen.

Thank goodness. Because, um, yeah. Things. Stuff. Additional chaos which is not mine to talk about, but it effects me. BUT I WILL GET MY SECRET SANTA STUFF TO MY GIFTEE BEFORE 2014.

I will be out of town between Christmas and New Year's, so if my gift arrives in that window I won't see it until the New Year. Just in case! Don't want my Santa to worry.

We got gifts from Polgara that I was certain were SS gifts. But it was just Polgara filled with the awesomeness and generosity that is Polgara. Noah and I talked today about how she was like our Santa this year (since we don't do Santa).
