    Hey everyone!! finally back at work after a lovely 5 days off....

    and i am happy to report that my S.S. prezzie arrived, perfectly timed, on Christmas Eve Day!! : D

    thank you soooooo much to my Secret Santa for the fun package, all the way from Australia!!! (i was so excited).... I know i didn't give you any hints at all, but a "sampler" from my Secret Santa's homeland is exactly what I wanted... :)

    I haven't had a chance to listen to the CD yet, but the tracklist looks great!

    All the snacks are almost gone!! :o Caramello Koala and the Tim Tam were the BEST!! admitedly, i haven't tried the Vegemite yet, but it's such a damn cute packet, i don't want to ruin it! i might save it...

    And the book of poetry is lovely! it is very reminicent of my absolute favorite children's poet named Shel Silverstein, who i grew up reading... :)

    So, before bed on christmas eve, i curled up with a hot chocoloate and baileys, my christmas lights, the poetry book, and some Aussie treats... thank you so much!! :D


    You are most welcome! :)
    NOPE!!!

    I waited until x-mas day and this is my first day home so now have internet access and just wanted to say thank you soooooooooo much Ridin The Wave.

    The book is one I've meant to pick up for years so I will now finally get round to reading it and I love starting a book that someone else recommends. The necklace and hairclips are wonderful ... definitely my taste. I got a few chocolates for christmas and everyone has been told they can help themselves to the others but the ones from you are ALL mine :D ... so far eaten the orange one ... yum and finally the shows ... I still have more family stuff for the next week so when I get a couple of hours to myself I will be putting one on and relaxing to escape the madness ... also your favourite show was my birthday show so perfect!

    Thank you so much opening your pressies was great and thanks for the notes with each gift. Hope you and yours had a wonderful christmas and all the best for a happy new year :)
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Openend mine yesterday and i looove the presents :)

    I got a "Mr. Construction" 2008 calendar with many many attractive guys in it.. hahaha.. I love it : D
    Then I got a funny book called "OVERHEARD IN DUBLIN AGAIN", I already glanced through it and found this:
    Bono speaks:
    At the U2 concert in Croke Park, Bono asks the audience for some quiet. Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
    A voice from near the front of the audience pierces the silence: "Fookin' stop doin' it, then!"

    hilarious! : D

    And I got this WHOMP IT! "hammer".. the instant solution to any problem
    I tested it on my brother yesterday.. and it really works!

    And thanks for the sweet card : )

    I love my presents!! Thanks sooo much, Secret Santa! (and thanks for the clues.. haha.. I'll have a Heineken on you : D)
    no probs m'dear :) glad you like them. I'd so much trouble for a long time getting something and thinking of something... then they all just appeared on the one day :D

    Hope everyone else got theirs :o

    Your welcome. I'm so glad you like them! I don't blame you for not sharing the chocolates! Each of them are so tasty...I wouldn't want to share either!Let me know your thoughts on the book once you have a chance to read it! And I hope you enjoy the shows as much as I did.

    Happy New Year to you and yours as well.

    I received mine Thursday of last week. But I have been sick and haven't posted about it. So here I am, back at work and ready to say thank you.

    I got some chocolate that I am waiting for my cold to go away so I can taste. Some very choice coffees that are in the same boat as the chocolates. A beauty glass ornament for the tree (where it is now) or the window (where it will be later). And a homemade wash cloth. Nothing says Christmas like "homemade"! And a funny card that came with it all.

    Thank you my dear for the whole package!!! Much appreciated.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    I thought you might like to know that there's going to be a Paul Newman Festival in downtown Gotham this weekend! ;)

    I'm gonna line up all my Paul Newman dvd's, fire up the dvd player, make some potato salad...mmmmmmm....have a little salsa on my grilled chicken....bit of tossed salad, lightly dressed and then sit down to munch on a nice big bag of popcorn and watch back to back Paul Newman movies! :D And my only regret, my friend, is that you can't be here to enjoy it all with me.

    Thank you so much Secret Santa! :D I've never had so much fun opening a package in my life! :) It really was worth the wait Pat. Thank you! :)
    NOPE!!!

    OMG so glad you got it. :) I kept checking the status and it kept saying for 3 weeks that it was in customs. I didn't think you were ever gonna get it. lol

    And nothing broke either? I'm glad you like it all. :D
