K ladies,
Got me secret sister's name today.
To make it easier could i ask people's colour preference(s) and if they like a particular type of shirt?
I'm sure that someone out there will guess right away who thier Australian ss is when they get thier parcel...tee hee...
c
there are an awful lot of us.
I am ready to accept whatever shows up! girly teeshirt, regular, any color!
that's kind of the fun of it; i think; we're going to get something completely different.
Yep...50 people in all! :eek:Quote:

Oh, and be patient with me. I no longer can do this from work (except at lunch) so bear with my response times!!
I do agree with Mimi too though...suprizes are fun so if you don't need to ask...don't feel like you should. :D
I like surprises. I will like it no matter what because it was picked out for me. :)
GULP!
Anxiety!!!!!
This is my first time doing this!
Got the t-shirt theme down.
Local is good, right?
Bike related is good, right?
What if she doesn't like it?? Ohhhh.....STRESSSSSS!!!!!! :eek: :eek:
I also will be happy with anything I get!
I've already started putting my gift together, and I'd hate to have to go start over if I learn that my SS has a horrific aversion to bright, bright, orange :D (My SS is either going to laugh hysterically or think I'm totally insane when she gets this local-themed package - although don't worry SS, only one thing's orange!!)
Is there a price limit?
um.. so we're supposed to put together a package?
Re "package" - no, a big production isn't expected (although I'm sure appreciated). My sense is that some people do more, some people do less. Based on prior discussions on this topic, my recollection is that there's no specific limit, but most folks spend $10-20.
My ss is a few extra time zones from me this time, so a couple extra baubles may make it into the envelope, er "package". ;)
I love surprises too. It's fun to see what the other person will pick out just for me :D
Carol
I hope my SS can wait. I am going to a ride in the third week of September, and would like to get an extra T-shirt from it, if I can.

Nanci:
That's a great idea -- We're doing a ride on 9/23 -- It would be great to see if I could get an extra t-shirt for my SS.
Good thinking!
Denise
this is fun and nerve-racking. i dont care what i get cos i know i'll love it :D, but i soooo want to get something for my ss that she'll love :o
As for me, I love the fact that my Secret Sister will get me something I'd never buy for myself. My horizons expand every time I open a SS package.
That's the fun of it - for me, at least.
Just hangin' out for payday so I can go shopping. :D

Anyone else?
Ladyfish, oh good, now I know who you are !Quote:

That teeshirt represents a major change in my lifestyle, from couch potato to athlete.
Enjoy!
Thank you SS for the bright orange Dumas Demons tee shirt! Is my SS Denda?
Patty
Thank you SS from Santa Cruz for the great t-shirt - I love the "enjoy life - ride often" sentiment! :D T-shirt's a pretty blue, too.
And that 1988 Tour de France postcard is too cool for words!
Thanks, I'm going to enjoy the shirt (rushing off to see if I can figure out who my ss is).
Go banana slugs!
Bike4Health,
Thanks! Love the shirt. It was perfect timing as I was having bad, stressful day at work and kinda in a funk.
It was great to "see" a friendly face just then!
And I love the little keychain.
Thanks for the pick me up. I think it was jsut ther perfect amount of good karma cuz the rest of my day got better. :))
I'll wear when I commute to work next :)
I know who, I know who!Quote:

...but I'm not going to tell you.
Mine posted today... winging its way to Wisconsin!
Mine's being posted today! ^_^ DBF and I went shopping on the weekend and he picked one of the shirts!
(GOD I love sales!!!!)
To my lovely Secret Sister in the northern hemisphere. I must apologize, your parcel will be a bit late.
Sorry dear. We just moved and I had this fear of losing the item(s) (along with my arm warmers...:mad: )
I promise to send you some yummy items..
c
Thank you so much for the teeshirt!
i just got it today. A package, and i could not imagine for the life of me who
it was from!
:)
I will wear it with pride. Are you a racer?
Mimi
Ditto to mine---it may be late due to extreme life events but I PROMISE you will get it, so if Sept. 30 comes and it's not there yet, please know that it WILL get there.Quote:

I'm not a racer and have no desires to race (I just like to ride so I can eat!). I thought the Louisville Bicycle Club's teams t-shirts were cool looking and well the rest is history. Again, enjoy the shirt and enjoy your little piece of Kentucky.
Marcie
Well mine will be late, a very ill spouse means one less paycheck. He is better, back at work and I get paid Friday. I will be shopping this weekend! I am at the end of the month every month on SS, but I try to make it worth the wait. :) Obviously September is a crazy month for everyone.
I will be sending my SS swap out soon. It took forever to get a team shirt, then I became ill. I have decided if it is to ever reach the post office DH will need to take it. Hang on SS, it will be mailed shortly.
All you guys worried about your Sept SS- forget it! I just sent my AUGUST on Monday. And it's going to Pluto! Needed money, had to figure out regulations, wanted to order a couple things, needed money to send it...But it'll be worth it when SS gets her _Christmas_ present!
Ah, September...Hope to find the shirt this weekend!
to my september secret sister:
Your item is on its way. I think you will get it next week. Sorry it took a while to find something. Apparently not a lot of clubs around here do T shirts. I found out about this one from some fellow riders at a local century. No shirts there either!
I hope you like it! I think it is funny and it supports a good local org.

i'm so hoping it's there when i get home tonight and i can package it up and send it off tomorrow.
I just received my beautiful "Life is Good" L/S t-shirt, and I LOVE IT!! I think my SS is Denise....... :D Running Mommy?? The color is very pretty, too!
Thank you soooooo much :) !! I look forward to wearing my new t-shirt soon, and I'll be sure to have my pic taken.
Peace & Love,
Denise
ok ss.... my parcel is finally in the mail ... so dont give up waiting now :D
Hi Anna (sorry I don't know your screen name),
Thank you so much for the fabulous SS gifts.
I received a wonderful package all the way from Christchurch, New Zealand today. Inside was a very pretty blue (my favorite color by the way) t-shirt with the picture of an elaborately decorated Maori fishhook, the most adorable squeeky black sheep with dangly legs keychain and a very pretty blue shell bookmark.
Anna, thanks again for the special package. :D
Carol
I am so hoping my SS received her T-shirt. It was mailed out 9/21 and when I looked up ther tracking number this popped up, "There is no record of this item. ":eek:
I am hoping there was a glitch. Maybe the postal carrier forgot to scan the item? I am trying to be positive and hope my SS has her shirt.
Thank you my secret sister all the way from Gloucester MA USA!
It's such a cute t-shirt I'm gonna wear it to work!
I just got my t-shirt and I love it. It couldn't be better, thanks. I'll wear it on the ride to work tomorrow.
I'm also looking forward to trying the Carolina Peach salad dressing. My brother lives in NC, and has yet to send me anything so yummy looking. (I'll have to talk to that boy...)
Thanks again.
My goodies got here on Monday, but I've been offline since the weekend so I'm only getting around to thanking you now. I got a good laugh over the goodies in there - can't wait to get that magnet up on my fridge. :D
Now I just need to engage in a little detective work to figure out who the heck you are... :p
Thank you thank you for the spiffy and very cool shirt! :D I'll be the envy of my peers :D
I have never seen anything like it. TE gals you know those Hwy signs with the icons indicating "gas, food, lodging"? There are graphics like that but they say "eat, sleep, ride" on the icon. The little sleeping figure in the bed icon has a thought ballon that says "finish".
So cute. Thanks!
::surfs off to figure out who here is in Missouri::
to my secret sister.....hope you got the t'shirt, got it online 'cause you'd totally know who I am if mailed from my home.
