October Secret Sister Thank You

**Trek420** · 10-31-2006, 05:50 PM

Dear Secret Santa in San Jose.

You're local, so one would think I would know exactly who you are.

I love the California cycling socks, you're in CA I'm in CA so that's not a clue....and the doggie note cards awwwww so cute :::surfs off to "show us your pets":::: does that look like your dog?

The Tide to go stain removal stick...hmmm, someone who's seen my shirts perhaps? Thank you for the lip balm too. hmmmmm, who can it be now?

SS Please forgive my package coming late to you. Actually it was sent last week, but in my excitement and haste of re-using an old box, I forgot to tear the old label off so it bounced around snail mail for a week. Fortunately, I had a return addy on it and thanks to my long time, superb postmaster, she caught the error and let me know what happened. I took reponsibility for not tearing the old sticker off(she blamed the mailing post office for the error as well)

The parcel is now officially on its way "Again" to you. It is headed due W-N-W as the crow flies(from my vantage point anyhow). Please accept my apologies for the error.

No apologies necessary! Just got your package. Ate the candy. LOVE the socks (merino, with cups of coffee printed on them), AND the coffee--this is, after all, the capital of coffee. I put the headband up against the Bianchi and it's actually a pretty close match--and I AM a headband-wearer, but don't have that warm fleecy kind, so that is perfect!

Did you post pics of your five cats on the "show us your pet" thread? Needless to say, I love the cat notes.

Thanks, kiddo, for all! I really, really like my October package.

I'm glad you like it Salsa-I knew the coffee and kitty bit were right on target

I love coffee too and yes I need to post all my pets(I only put one kitty up-Molly B & W). Glad you like the headband. I know seatle can be chilly and rainy, so the headband and socks to help you ride, and the treats to enjoy after the ride. In whichever order you choose esp the choc. Jennifer

Back Tuesday from a long day's flight. Sinuses bursting. Ears popped. Knees stiff. But DH has supper waiting, and a stack of mail by my place, with a package. Yay! cool socks! flowery letterpaper! I felt better right away! Sorry I didn't get right on line to thank you, whoever you are. No hints I could gather from the gifts, but maybe you're on the TE map ...? Now off to the map site to check.

**Crankin** · 11-11-2006, 12:02 PM

I signed up for the Sept. SS and never received anything. Does this happen a lot?
I DID send my SS a T shirt, which probably arrived around Sept. 30th.

Lisa, i don't know who mine was either. I guess she really really wanted it to be a secret.

and I agree with you. I feel bad about the gals who aren't getting stuff.
But remember we are kind of an anonymous community and ANYONE could sign up here and participate. It would be hard to make rules to protect us, but the best thing would be like Aggie_Ama said; just write to her and let her know that you are still waiting because SOMEONE has the original lists of who was assigned to whom.

**roguedog** · 11-13-2006, 12:24 PM

Well, on the flip side, I never found out if my Sept SS got her pkg though the company says it was delivered. I haven't heard complaints about it not making it there.. but jsut never got confirmed that it had arrived safely.

**light_sabe_r** · 11-13-2006, 04:23 PM

If anyone hasn't recieved anything from October PLEASE let me know. Same as if you have sent something and haven't heard anything let me know and I'll contact your SS on your Behalf. (I've had a few people request this from me already)

Strange. My Oct SS hasn't recieved anything yet, and yet my November SS has already recieved hers. ;_; Not Really fair of the postal services...

Ditto, but for September (the month I organized). I'd hate to think that some of you are getting short changed! I have personally had packages disapear in the postal system, so it absolutely happens. Let's try and work this out for everyone!

**Bikingmomof3** · 11-14-2006, 05:12 AM

I agree. I have sent two packages where the tacking showed the package did not exist

and I was freaking out both times, but my SS for both Sept and Oct did receive them, whew!

**mountainpuddles** · 11-04-2006, 06:54 PM

Thanks so much for the socks and the package!! I have the card with me at all times in my wallet.

Hey Trek, I am glad you enjoyed your goodies. We can meet up and go riding sometime. I don't think I have ever ridden with you.

Very clever SS
I thought I had it good becaue you have to sign a customs declaration; but this smart SS had an unintelligible sig....Comes from a place called Silver Spring which sounds nice.
Great smart-wool soxes in pale purple shades which make me feel really pretty. Born in New Zealand I also go tingly all over when I see the word "merino"!
I am also a tea freak so the stationery was perfect!
And the Clif-shots.... we ain't got nothin' like that here. Wow! Am I cool!
(Not my feet of course)
Our post lady closed her post office for a while ...
International post + Middle East chaos + kibbutz anarchy = total postal disruption in and out
