November SS-

[Aggie_Ama]

Woo hoo! Thanks Aggie Ama (right? - can't find anyone else from Liberty Hill, TX)! Another SS gift arrives at the end of a long and lousy week; how great that it came this week when I needed something to perk me up.

My SS package has all sorts of neat goodies (not good at the camera thing, sorry):

petite little tire levers - way smaller and better than the ones I have
a neat slim hard plastic wallet - fits perfectly in my bike bag
sport beans!!!!! - in berry and fruit punch
A "be kind to cyclists" bumper sticker
Texas Pralines - yum; I looovvve pralines;
A packet of local wildflowers seeds; and
a lovely note describing why she chose each item!!!!

I love everything. I have to admit that it will be a miracle if the pralines last the evening I'm house hunting right now so the wildflower seeds are getting tucked away to save for my new place (eventually . . . boy, house hunting is a drag). Everything else will get used with a big, big smile on my face,

What fun!!!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!

You are correct! I hope it was worth the wait. Moving last month slowed me down, I wanted to make it very special. Glad it brightened your day.

Ya know, I had kinda forgotten about the SS thing because I had way too much drama going on in my life lately. What a nice surprise! I got my package Saturday but wanted to take the time to find out who sent it before I posted. I'm thinking.... Hub??? Thanks for the great gifts dear. Last week was a nightmare at work and an ill friend had me worried on top of it, so this was especially good timing. I just love getting bike socks and I must say, these are very cute. I've started to wear all of mine to work over the winter to cheer myself up. (I'm not much of a winter person although BMo3 is persuading me to rethink my position on this. ) Everyday, one of the girls at the hospital comes over and lifts the pantleg of my scrubs to see what wacked out socks I have on. Now I've got a cute new pair to show her. I keep telling her, if she became a biker, she too could wear such good looking socks. Also, thanks for the lovely mugs and Godiva hot chocolate. Mmmmmm. I don't drink coffee so hot chocolate is my prefered hot beverage during the frigid winter months. I'm a tea drinker too but there's nothing like a smooth, chocolate jolt to the system.

So another thank you going out to your brother for getting you riding so that we may enjoy your company here on TE. Did ya ever recover from the Big Dam Bridge Ride? Also, how's the puppy coming along?

Well, off to start thinking about what to get my next SS for the January swap... My brain works slow so I need all the time I can get.

Yeah, that was me--I'm impressed that you remember so much stuff!
Kasey is doing fine- little Sassy fuzzy britches-she must weigh 3 & 1/2 pounds now!

I hav recovered somewhat from the bridge- but maybe not my sense! I rode across it again the day after Thanksgiving- it's pretty darn steep & there was a LOT of foot traffic- I kept having stop stuff everytime I got a little momentum- when I was close to the top- my cell phone range and I said Thank God! I have an excuse to stop and walk a minute!!

You know, I don't like to think of myself as a dummy, but it took me forever to
figure out your handle- X Ray ted- DUH on me . . . .

I'm really glad you enjoyed the gifts- I'm really sorry & a little embarassed that it took so long to get them to you.

I've actually been to Lancaster, (so close to Hershey!) once- gorgeous country up there- love the outlet malls & no tax on clothes!

and yes- props to Boo (or Pscyclepath) for getting me started- He took me to Arkansas Cycle where I purchased your socks- with the Razorbacks on them.

Now I can try to figure who sent my neat stuff from Cal-i-forney- was in BCIPam, Cali-gurl- Brandi- BikerChick? THere are many chicks from the West Coast . .HHHMMMM

Hub- You may have to beg your SS to reveal herself. I can say it is none of the ones you listed.
