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!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

Punishingly Intricate
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!

Because books.
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Just hit the dollar store for wrapping paper. I am terribly pleased with myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wrote her the other day, but don't have much to report.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I've been sending her links to things she might like on Tumblr, but not asking her things.

Is it wrong that all I want to do is to go home and see what I got in the mail today?
