You guys! I have a good 2013 thing. I was messing with genealogy this year and came across a ten year old post that had a familiar name. I wrote to them and my 86 year old cousin, whom I've never met, wrote me back. He's from my dad's side so I was able to reconnect them. That was a pretty cool thing that escaped the suckitude of 2013. :)

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!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I got a wee owl ornament from Not-My-Secret-Santa... we have a Sooper Seekrit Santa in our midst!

Today I got my package! aurelia was my elf, and she was a fabulous one. It was all in an adorable, reusable penguin gift box for starters. Inside were two beautiful, reusable fabric gift bags, the kind you can track. So cool! And then the gifts themselves... two kinds of uber dark chocolate and a light-up sonic screwdriver keychain. Best for last - wrapped in beautiful white handmade paper decorated with a real leaf, a drop dead gorgeous ginormous silk scarf made by an artisan in Thailand. It's purple and teal and gold, so it not only matches a large chunk of my wardrobe (I have so much teal), it will work quite well for Mardi Gras.
Thank you, aurelia!

I am in Florida visiting with my dad until New Year’s Eve, so any Santa gift waiting for me at home will have to go unopened until then. Didn’t want my Santa to worry!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hooray, smonster! I meant for the card to arrive first, but it went to the other address.

No worries! I wore the scarf out last night and got a number of compliments. I lurves it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Gift away! Finally got all the ingredients done!

Squeeeeee. I just got a package that has the most awesome Supernatural hex bag. It has salt, and army man, Lego blocks, a matchbook from the Winchester Mystery House and a bunch of smashed pennies from the Winchester Mystery House. Oh, and a shoe (the one Sam lost?). It looks like this is from ita! Thank you!!!

Thank you to smonster for the wonderful gifts! The pecans are delicious, the mug is perfect, and the ornament is awesome. I can't wait to wear the new bracelet, but the card made me cry.
You are the best!

Suzi and smonster should have received cookies today. Liese gets dibs on the next batch I make.
Today was another family gathering. There is one more tomorrow and then I'm shutting myself up in the house with books and leftovers.
