'Safe'
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!
IT'S FROM BRENDA!! First thing: a graduation card with party poppers!!
A Union Jack umbrella!! Which I need today!
A "Friends" mug and a GORGEOUS wood star ornament from the Bethlehem Nativity store!!
And a collection of bad girls throughout history (herstory?) postcards featuring Liz Taylor, Bettie Page, Josephine Baker, Nellie Bly, ADA LOVELACE!!! (Science chicks FTW!!), and Marie Antoinette. These are not getting mailed!! They are being framed and put in my office!!
THANK YOU, BRENDA!!
Also, the tape was AWESOME.
Yay, Empress Day success! Perfect timing.
When I went to wrap, all I could find was leopard print scotch tape. Which didn't really match the wrapping paper but I thought would be appreciated nonetheless.
The ornament came from the Christkindlmarket [link] in Chicago which I think you would really love if you're ever down here between thanksgiving and Xmas.
Aw, man -- my Secret Santa presents made me cry! Thanks, Pix! It was: Two great notebooks (one recycled from a kids' book), cute sticky notes, which I totally need for the new office, a great Pasadena ornament, and (the kicker) a mug with my cover photo from Facebook of baby me and my parents, that says "Good Stuff Happens Every Day." So sweet! And the trim is my favorite green.
Thank you!!
Hurray! I'm so glad you like everything!
Jesse -- Did you get the earlier gift from Pix, left on your parent's doorknob by a local Pix-elf?
She did! And thank you to Jon for being my elf!

I did! Thanks, Jon! That was there just when I needed it, too.
I got a t-shirt in the mail. An awesome Their Eyes Were Watching God t-shirt. THANK YOU!
