Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...  

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.

Buh bye, 2014.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Merry Christmas to all (who wish such), and to all a good day.

ETA I got LDBed yesterday while telling my sister about LDB. So close!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Merry Christmas to anyone to whom that is appropriate!

I opened the rest of my stuff from amyth! A gorgeous lavender candle, Moravian spice cookies, goat milk soap, all from NC, AND fancy pants coffee syrup from RI! AND Choward's violet candies AND a "controlling plants" merit badge! Thanks so much, amyth!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh man, we have awesome local soapmakers here, and good bakeries, too. But I really miss Moravian spice cookies. I'd give a lot for an afternoon in Old Salem. If MM isn't near done with that transporter, is anybody working on folding space? Might that be easier? Wormhole? Stargate? Ruby slippers?

On its way, and thank you! Let me know if you get it--and send your address back, all I have is an old one for you.

Jingle, y'all!

Our wings are not tired.

After an extraordinary amount of self restraint I opened my box from the brilliant Aurelia this morning! I posted a picture on the Buffista FB page.

First there were 3 packs of DAVIDsTEA of different varieties that I am very much looking forward to sampling. They were packaged in cute little mittens. Then there was a WrapSack, which is something I had never heard of. The reusable gift sack has a tracking number on it. You go on line and register the sack and you can watch it travel around and about. So far the sack has been in Chicago and Pompano Beach. I have already considered where it shall travel next...

Now inside the WrapSack was about the most perfect Laura gift ever! It is an absolutely lovely turtle teapot which is perfect because turtles and teapots are two of my most favorite things.

Thank you for the this most delightful Christmas gift, Santee!!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hooray! I have to admit I was a little astonished to discover a teapot so perfect for you.

I am enjoying Santa's Secret tea this morning. It is yum. The tea pot is adorable. It will have a place of honor in my kitchen.
