November SS-

[mtbdarby]

Sally, awesome package! The wheelie guy is cool.

I'm still trying to figure mine out. Mtkitchn or Runny Mom, is it either of you? I'm still trying to figure out what the peppermint fortune cookie soap is for and I need help. (yeah, I know I need help, but be gentle ).

[mimitabby]

Oh Sally! I am so happy for you. Now just let me share your luck (crossing fingers)

[snapdragen]

I think I have come up with the right person SNAPDRAGEN?

Busted! Glad you liked the box 'o stuff!

[Aggie_Ama]

Here are my goodies all the way from NZ!

The yellow thing is a magic towel, I have yet to open it. I probably will today, I love those things. It has been to cold and too busy for me to enjoy a ride and use the other goodies.


And here is my adorable Kiwi enjoying a spot on my tree.

Thank you xrayted for all the goodies!! The blinkie lights are already being put to use on my daily commutes, even when I'm not riding in traffic. And the huge box of sour patch kids arrived today! A gigantic box of legal crack! Should keep me going for miles and miles!

Thank you!!!

[Xrayted]

You are quite welcome Eli. I only figured out the candy. They are a personal favorite of mine as well. I like to smuggle them into the movies and have them with my popcorn. Great combination or sour, sweet, salty and buttery all in one mouthful. Mmmmm.
Your Auntie Trek helped me out with the blinkies. It's her you should thank. She cares for you very deeply and wanted to keep you as safe as possible. Hope they work out on your ALC6 ride coming up. Trek mentioned to get some that you can also easily clip to your tent so you can find it again in the dark. Right smart woman there. I took a cue from Denise Goldberg and picked these out. Another right smart woman.

Glad you liked the packages. I had so much fun doing this and I ended up getting to know a few people better through it too. Bonus for me.

So... Thank you Eli!!

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!!!!!!!

Now I can stop lurking thru this thread- my package went out last week &
should have had time to arrive!

Also, I need to puzzle out who sent me a great package- the coolest pink socks and an item that combines my love of fridge magnets/picture frames & cycling- a great frame- that will stick to the fridge made from bike chain!

How cool is that? Now I can't decide if I should put a picture of my 9 month old niece or my bike in the frame!!!! maybe the picture of the baby wearing the Live Strong hat?

[light_sabe_r]

THANK-YOU secret sister... all the way from Missouri!!

Wow I got spoilt rotten!

I've had to HIDE the tool cause BF keeps using it. :P IT'S MINE!

Santa's on the tree. Only the DAY before the packackage arrived did I say "we need a bike on the tree" and then Voila!!!

The jelly beans have been eaten... by me. ^_^



THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK YOU

worth the wait!

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.

[Xrayted]

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.

-X.

[Hub]

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

[Aggie_Ama]

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

[gobles]

I just received my SS gift and WOW. Holly cow, you out did yourself. I LOVE everything you sent. I can not put into words how happy your wonderful box made me feal. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

[margo49]

Yeeeowwww! All my adult life I have wanted a Sigg bottle. Now I have a really big one and it has this beautiful shades-of-blue bubbles graphic.
And the little medallion is soooooooo appropriate you have no idea. (I looked it up over at Wikpedia and as well as liking what I read it reinforced my theory that all the really important things you can find in any of the religions)
I scoffed 2 of the bars and the rest I am saving to be eaten more ceremoniously - we ain't got *nothing* like this here!
Btw, I did appreciate the blue-and-white ribbons
That is so nice here in the ss thingy - how sisters put such thought into it in big and little ways.
How do you discover who your ss is if you only have their name? At least this Seattle one wrote her actual name in a legible hand - unlike last month's tricky Maryland one.
