The first thing is this amazing book:



I couldn't put it down!

The second thing is this jolly, but mysterious, note:



I don't know who to thank for this, but thank you, Mystery Secret Santa!

I also apologize for not blogging about this sooner, forgive me!

Discuss.


UPDATE


I received the 'More to come' on December 24th, just before I had to leave on an extended road trip to visit the in-laws. I've taken pictures, but haven't had an opportunity to blog about it, due to illness, non-working computer, then illness again. I promise to post the pics soon, but just wanted to give a shout-out to the awesome Jeanette for the simply amazing package. You are a national treasure.

UPDATE THE SEOND

After many struggles with my stubborn, dumbass computer, we reached an agreement, and I can finally post pictures! Here are some of the lovely wrapped goodies:



And here they are unwrapped!



The finger puppets are so fooking adorable! My daughter has spent many hours already having adventures with them. She also squirreled away the cotton candy pencil, and dubbed it her 'magical wand'. The camera remote has already made itself very useful, thanks so much!

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!



OMG THE CHEESE. It was so delicious, we ate almost half the brick immediately. And don't even get me started on those heavenly caramel goodies. They didn't last long. Yummy scrumbo!

What a lovely package, thank you so much! I apologize a million times for not getting the photos up earlier. Curse you, Microsoft!]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 08:39:10 -0500
I woke up at 3am recently to a raging storm that seemed to mark the arrival of the apocalypse. It wasn't the storm that woke me up, it was my iPod. It was charging in its speaker dock thingie, when it turned on all by itself and started playing 'Jolene' at full volume. There's nothing inherently creepy about the song, but when it's playing full blast at 3am during a violent storm, the only thing missing is a deranged serial killer hovering over you, fuuuuuu!


The Cure's video for 'Lullaby'

The video accurately shows what I believe all spiders are capable of, even the tiny zebra-striped ones. Fuck you, spiders.


The only thing creepier for me would be watching 'Lullaby' but hearing 'Jolene'.

*shivers*


What are your creeps, and have you ever gotten over them?

Thanks, y'all! I wish I could go to a meetup someday and see you all in person, and watch you all scratch your heads wondering who the heck I am.



Here's to five years of funtimes, work shirking, and not being able to read a calendar properly!

which I then opened to read this:



Woo!

Underneath that, there were candies:



and some effing delicious chocolate-y, nutty, caramel-y treats:



and some wrapped surprises!



After recuperating a bit from a stomach made too full from gorging on yummy sugary goodness, I unwrapped the prezzies and discovered these:



and these:



My daughter immediately claimed everything for her own (except the soap, because she said she already has a hockey puck), but I'm going to steal back the measuring tape bag as soon as she falls asleep.

Thank you so much, Christian! You successfully brightened up a very dull winter evening with your awesomeness!]]> Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:22:14 -0600
Here, have a ridiculously adorable pudding as a token of my gratitude:



Also, this pudding ring is super cute:



Also, hi!

]]> Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:44:09 -0600 Thanks for nothing, you tease.

I think I hate you.

Sincerely,

Star Wars + Princess Bride = me not getting any work done]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:03:43 -0500 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:13:56 -0500


And probably the first time I remembered on the actual day!

Thank you, Threadless, for making these last four years so fun, interesting and stylish. Y'all are just the greatest.

Please help yourself to a celebratory pudding cup.

I'm a very lucky mommy, indeed.

Happy birthday, little one!

Oh, and she's wearing jublin's 'Bear Hug' over here.


Also, have a safe and happy New Year's everyone!
