I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

So you may notice that the gift message on the earrings promised more to come. That is because your elf is not so good with the linear progression of time, and therefore the t-shirt arrived before the earrings. But I hope you like them both!

SO!! Just after the excitement of the card, I got things, BUT in a surprising twist, I think NOT from my Santa.

I got an AWESOME elephant tree ornament from erika. which with the donation earlier just make me want to cry from love. Thank you SO MUCH. it is lovely and appreciated.

THEN an elf, maybe my gifter, I DO NOT KNOW! had a LuLaRoe person send me leggings! Hot pink and blue/tealish! bright and super FUN. I think NOT my Gifter, but an SHENANIGANS MAYHEM ELF and I am looking westward with my suspicions. hmmmmmm.

THANK YOU. I LOVE EVERYTHING!

Should we design one and start marketing it? Is this the ploy to earn us millions and get us Buffista compound?

I got a box with an elephant ornament recycled from an oil drum, a bag of soup mix I'm already plotting how to use, and chocolate bars. Plus, the gift helped with many acres of rainforest, and I will take all of the good news I can get.

Thanks, erika!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thank you for the card, Suzi! Brightened my day.

Always Anti-fascist!

You are welcome, Dana & Msbelle. I love those elephants...I have one on my own tree right now, AIFG. I always *mean* to do something nice for Msbelle for hosting, but I think about it after the fact, and then I usually don't have the money anymore...it's always good when timing and manners align. ETA: we love that soup mix and also that the company itself gives jobs to women from tough situations.They also have mixes for other things that I buy sometimes. Year in review? maybe I'll wait a bit.
