Thank you!!! We're going with two friends, one of whom was there a couple of years ago and one who hasn't been out of the country since she went to Spain in high school back in the 80s! Super excited!!!
Took a minute while packing to finish opening my secret santa treasure trove! As I was suspecting, gifts were from smonster (postmarked Raleigh but everything had a New Orleans feel). Thank you, Nice Lady!!!!! Love everything and would love to come down to see you soon! Maybe sometime this year, I hope! XO
I know you will have an awesome time, Lisa. Take lots of pictures for us!
iceland is incredible. Spend lots of time in various hot water pools enjoying the thermal spring everywhere.
Yay! Glad it all got to you okay. Have a wonderful trip.
Suzi, the other package got here! I was thrilled to find it was from Shiro cosmetics. I am wearing Red in My Ledger right now AIFG. Thank you, my dear.
I'm glad it got there before you left! I also got a package, from you! The socks are FANTASTIC! And yes, they are very ME. Thanks a bunch!
THANK YOU LISA H!!!
I came home yesterday to find a package with robot socks, Edgar Allen Poe bandages, a cool calendar, and best of all, the new Kate Beaton book!!!
I, however, am still going to be super, super late sending my gifts, because I have a cold and I have no energy and I suck. Sorry, Santee.
As a sidenote (reading about the best socks ever) I once found some that were perhaps a runner-up - socks with, knitted in, "Dear Santa ... I Can Explain". Bought them for several friends and my sister ... somehow neglected to get my own pair. sigh ....
Glad you like the socks, Suzi. I can't resist a good pair of Xmas socks, and found several this year that needed good homes.
My finances have been extremely tight this year, so I've had to keep non-essential spending to a minimum. However, the B&N down the street from my office is closing and just about everything's drastically reduced, so I bought myself a present. A sonic screwdriver. It lights up and makes noises. Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything terribly useful, but I'm having fun with it.
