    January SS – Thank You!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    A big warm, wintery SS hug to Mimi - my not-so-secret sister!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful treat... Smartwool Socks and a cushy thermal head warmer. How ironic, as I just purchased the Castelli one from TE and just had to send it back - it was HUGE. I've been told my head is swelled, but not even my bean could wear that one. So I returned it, wondering how I could keep my ears warm and voila! – my SS comes through!

    I also got some wonderful warm Italian pudding treats - I can't wait to try them. I gotta run to the store to get my lactose-free milk, but the packets smell delicious. Best of all, since the writing on the package is in Italian, there's no way I can find out the fat/calorie content. Out of sight... out of mind! No calories! Yippeee!

    Thanks again Mimi!

    Such Irony! You already got your package! I just got mine... purchased by someone in Australia.
    Now which of the Aussie girls could it be from?
    I got some wonderful RED wool socks with both argyle and cats on them!!
    and some lip armor (which I really could have used this weekend)

    Bluetree, that's really italian hot chocolate!

    I hope you like it, it is delicious!

    Is my Downunder girlfriend LIGHT SABRE?

    Still only 2 January ss-packages arrived? Has Santa collapsed with exhaustion? Are the reindeer on strike? Is it the wierd world-wide distribution of snow that's slowing delivery? (No snow where the sleighs are loaded up and waiting, piles of snow where camels are the preferred beasts of burden?)

    I do not usually send out my SS packages until the 3 week of the month.

    ah, such restraint. After getting burned for November, I was in even more of a hurry this month so that my ss did not suffer.

    It is not restraint as much as it usually takes me a couple of weeks to get everything I want to send. I am in awe of those who can receive a name and turn around and mail out a gift. I have never been late (thankfully) and it is still very early in the month. This one may actually go out by Monday, if all goes as planned.

    I'm a SS newbie.

    When are you supposed to reveal who your SS is?

    It's hard to decide what to send...esp when ya can't send what one really wants... I'm off to search for a cool item today...

    And ya, it's hard to remain secret when you live overseas.

    Thank you to my fabulous Maryland Secret Sister. I love the socks. They are so much cuter than the warm ones at my LBS.

    I also love all the yummy goodies. I had to share the peanut butter pretzels with one of my co-workers. We just go nutty for any kind of peanut butter snacks. I went out snowboarding yesterday and I had a nice big mug of hot chocolate when I got home. I did have to hide the chocolate from my husband.....does that make me a bad person? I also had to explain to him what shot bloks were so that he wouldn't try to steal one of those too.
