2008 CSS Gifts and Guesses - Page 10

Briefly:

I opened my gift from my SS, much to the horror of Tink's gift from me.

I know it was unintentional, but the shock was so great that we shattered the stunned silence with gales of laughter.

You would have done the same.

ARGh!

All over break it was "I need to take some time from the Cellar, buckle down at work, and work on getting home internet." Then I started reading threads like "what is the cellar for" etc.

I MISSED you guys.

At the risk of letting on who my Secret Santee was, which is probably already figured out somewhere, mine should arrive this week. I am the greatest procrastinator of all, and to ship it on time would have cost me loads of cash. Yeah, I suckee suckee but I hope my Santee enjoys the crap once it gets there.

Hope you all had a great holiday!

*waves* HI SHAWNEE!

Hi Shawnee

@ wolf, I love how you thoughts accompanied each frame! It's as if we could listen you you as you opened each one. Thanks for sharing

TheMercenary · 12-29-2008, 04:34 PM

Mine. See if you can figure out who it was from. All treats were much appreciated by the 4 leggers. And the 2 leggers as well. Thanks SS!

Pic #9, your thumb looks like you're hanging on real tight.

TheMercenary · 12-30-2008, 07:08 AM

I was. There was a lot of competition for those treats.

LabRat · 12-30-2008, 08:27 AM

Yeah!!! :::clap clap clap:::

Note that Clearheart vodka is "homemade" here in Cedar Rapids. I think it is as good as any other top shelfer out there. The Cedar Ridge Distillery is the first legal still to operate in Iowa since prohibition. I haven't tried their rum or gin yet.

I was particularly proud of my bacon flavored dog treat find though

.

Merry Christmas!

Sorry, I accidentally covered the word "art" on the note.

I am really enjoying the book.

Thank you much, Secret Santa! Now, who could you be?

Thanks again! Even the doggy popcorn was a hit. I have to add those pics to my Picasa page, I will try to do it by next weekend.

limey---If you don't get your gift soon, I'm going to sue the US postal service. I sent it Priority Mail! You don't have it YET?

DanaC · 01-03-2009, 08:38 AM

Bear in mind the postie round Limey's way has to battle his way through herds of live haggis to get there...

Sundae · 01-03-2009, 09:36 AM

Are we all done (aside from Limey

)?
I think it was a wonderful haul this year and the eatables/ potables/ local gifts theme worked pretty well. Personally, I'd like a more definite theme this year. But them I live in an Islamo-fascist state (

) and therefore respond well to authority.

Actually, it is a pretty British trait. Give us draconian rules so we have something to thumb our noses at! Like I did when I ignored the "budget includes postage" I suppose...

And I'm really glad there were no dropouts this year. Good choice of people and here's to more becoming regulars in 2009, and some of those who were already regulars joining in.

Oh and of course, thanks to LR, who did sterling work in 2008, as Monster did in 2007.

Unless I missed it, richlevy*, Treasunauk, DanaC, Cicero*, SteveDallas, Limey, Ducksnuts and myself** have not recieved their gifts yet.

*I have heard from their senders and know what is going on.
**as of 12/31 anyway when I stopped in to work to check on the lab.

Correct me if I'm wrong. --just the gifts, not my grammar.
