I was informed that I have a package from the U.S. waiting in the post office. I'll only be able to go there in two days, but yay! Thank you!

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.

This is a PSA: Sue is lovely and awesome! Pass it on.
I got back home for the weekend early due to extreme weather conditions, to find Sue's gift - and there was much rejoicing. Sue graciously sent me the Hark! A Vagrant book, a book from MyHandboundBooks, and no less than three different kinds of candies: Maple leaves from maple sugar, maple roasted hazelnut chocolate, and something called chicken bones that I will examine soon, hoping and I am brave enough.
Sue also sent me two plastic snowflakes, and wrote that she wanted to send me some snow, but was afraid that it won't make it here. Well, the extreme weather conditions I've mentioned in the beginning of this post? It's now snowing outside. Thank you, Sue, for bringing me joy, presents, books, sweets, and yes - snow, both real and plastic.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I think Sue *made* it snow!
Also, chicken bones (the candy) are good!

OK, chicken bones are good! I think it will take me a while to get used to the color.

Oh, this is where I should say I got msbelle's holiday card! With bonus valentine and Hello Kitty tattoo.

Shir, I am so glad you like it, and more happy that it finally got there. I was getting worried!

Chicken bones?? Am I the only one who's never ever heard of these??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've never heard of them, either, but they sound delicious!
