Got a surprise calendar in the mail today. Thank you Java cat.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!
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.
Go away, 2016.

I also got a calendar, and earrings! I laughed out loud at the note on the calendar, which is of tattoos, that said "only two of the months are guys!"

Thank you to my C. Kret Santa for the wonderful "Buffy staked Edward" tshirt that was waiting for me when I got back to work last week! I saw the Redbubble package and got so!excited! 'cause Redbubble always means awesomeness. :-D Also, the FIVE pairs of socks that I ordered with the gift certificate came in yesterday, and suddenly the coming week is going to be so much better. (Pics in the b.org FB group.)
(ETA: msbelle told me there was also a donation made in my name--I never saw the email, maybe it landed in my junk box?--but thank you for that too!)
And I totally forgot to thank the Buffista Elf for the hilarious Cats Against the World expansion pack for Cards Against Humanity! Gotta get a card game together so I can see how these babies play out. :-D Thank you, msbelle!

Consuela, just getting caught up and saw the news about your dad. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've shared so many stories over the years, he was like a part of this community. {{{hugs}}} to you and your family.

Thank you, Laura! I'm so excited to listen to Aristotle and Dante. You're amazing!

quester, thank you so much!
I picked up my package today. I posted a photo in the FB group, but I am positively delighted by a treasure trove of goodies:
Bacon soap, bacon bandades, a lovely magnet, a bobble head General Leia, a Rogue One calendar, Star Wars stickers, a Wonder Woman ornament, a 3-d metal Enterprise model to put together, and a Star Trek communicator pin.
I've died and gone to favorite things heaven. I should probably try to stay there for the next four years, at least.
Thank you!!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
General Leia was a late addition. I bought it the day Carrie died.

Thank you, secret Santa, for the lovely mug, coffee, and card! I'm looking forward to enjoying the first two tomorrow morning. The last one I'm enjoying now.
ETA: And thank you for the lovely scarf!
