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!
That is totes adorbs!
I see what you did there.
I put my package in the mail yesterday. And, once again, I forgot to put a card in it. I think it will be obvious it is from me though.
I got super inspired and got my SS together days after they were assigned. Just needed one more thing, which finally came to me yesterday dang it. But will go this week and be kind of on time, yay!
I got a box! From my secret Santa, with a promise of two more packages! It had a fabulous surfing Santa ornament for my tree, and a Batgirl Pez dispenser, and some lovely candy. Yay for Secret Santas!
everyone please check your addresses on elfster again. These are the addresses people are sending to.
Any more news on ita? Does she need anything?
Hah! I am the Xmas no-shopping shopping queen.
On Sunday I was at Fleet Farm with my sister to pick up a piece of furniture she bought and we found a gorgeous Columbia Sportswear coat [link] that fit and looked great and was seriously discounted from the real price. I called my brother and was all "she needs this, she needs it badly, can this be from you and SIL, I need an answer right now yadda yadda."
[She has the twin challenges of being poor and plus-sized and winter coat shopping is traumatic and demoralizing enough that for the past year or two she'd just given up and was wearing layers and layers of hoodies.]
So having basically hijacked their Christmas present, I just sent him off to the store to buy my present for his wife rather than him paying me back the money for the coat.
And with that, my Xmas shopping is done, and I never had to set foot in a store for that purpose.
I spent all last evening getting packages ready to send then walked out of the house without them. Dang brain! Tomorrow they WILL be mailed!
Due to circumstances, I have not purchased one gift yet, for anyone. But tomorrow is payday! So that will change. Secret Santee, your gift might arrive after Christmas, but it will be there before NYE for sure. Promise!
Yeah, I'm torn between being worried about ita and not wanting to make anything harder by demandin checkins! But it's weird not having her around.
