Hey KiwiGirl-So glad you liked the ground effect stuff. I was concerned you may have had those items already...It's also good to see there's another ground effect junkie out there!!!

It's great that Ground Effect allows the sender to remain anonymous!!! (I was rather upset when i sent something via TE & didn't know my name had to be on it. )

Also, Christchurch has seen the sun lately? wow!!!

Of course we have seen the sun this week - I started back at work on Monday

[Duck on Wheels]

I saw the sun too, briefly, just before it set. I finished work early yesterday and caught a glimpse of a big orange ball at the south horizon, lighting up an otherwise darkening turquoise-headed-towards-purple sky. Gorgeous!!! But so cold my face was stiff when I got home, just a mile-and-a-half up the road, and that was before it started blowing and snowing again. Today, on the other hand, the cold and snow has turned to rain. What a downer. But then I got home, sweaty from spin class and rain-drenched from the hike home, and what should greet me but a package from MomOnBike!!!! Hot chocolate Which shall I choose? Raspberry? Amaretto? Hazelnut? White Mocha? Here I sit, showered and suppered, cozy in my new snowflake-patterned smartwool socks. I'm gonna go put on a sweater and that bright red scarf (what a statement that is for a greying old "duck"! ), sip my cocoa ... and gloat. Well. DH can have cocoa too if he wants. We have plenty of ordinary cocoa he can mix up.

p.s. You are so right! There is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothes. And sometimes adequate clothes means four well-insulated walls and a roof.

[MomOnBike]

I'm glad you like them.

I liked the socks so much I had to get a pair for myself.

To My Secret Sister in Los Osos, (iirc?? sp??), California anyway
I have worn the lovely little hat *every day*
Haven't eaten it yet but I sure feel like it as I admire the colour and textures when I put it on or take it off.

to my secret sister...THANK YOU!!!! I love the socks, littlemissmatched, so cool, I saw them around xmas time and got some for my daughter. she better not even think of borrowing mine! (for those who haven't heard of them....3 socks...all different..mine all have flowers and are purple and orange) The chocolate ...hmm yum..3 bars scharffen berger...look soo yummy. hopefully I won't need to use the crash paks road rash survival kit...but I have it now just in case. And the warm hat!! what timing...we are having a real cold arctic blast right now...this morning it was 0 degrees with a wind chill factor of -20 brrrr. The hat is a JYTTE (you-tay) with bicycles on it....SO COOOL thank you very much...i am soooo smiling

I'm in the Come Home From a Horrible Day At Work to a Wonderful Secret Sister package club.

My package included a recycled pop-bottle head band (in 7-UP bottle green!), come cocoa and cider packs, a nifty mug filled with Dove chocolates to put the cocoa in (I'll take care of the Doves first ), and some neat Smart Wool socks. I love it all.

Thanks, Secret Sis, (I'll do some sleuthing later, right now, I'm drinking cocoa).

[Offthegrid]

My wonderful secret sister sent me a variety of Larabars! My favorite so far has been the apple pie. YUMMY! And, a giant bag of brown rice pasta in spirals. I haven't seen much spiral pasta I can eat, so what a blessing. Plus a cool "bike to work day" bag. I'm going to use it for my library books.

I got a feeling my SS rides a Trek ... hee hee.

[mountainpuddles]

SS sorry to keep you waiting at the mailbox I am finishing up the last treats and sending it out tomorrow. Love, B

[Toni]

I arrived home to a great surprise! A box of goodies!! Thanks for taking the time to notice my gambling (ahem) hobby. Love the hand made gloves! Really!! I will be wearing the socks on my commute home and enjoying the cliff bar after I get to work in the morning. I am putting the dice in my car. Thanks again!!!

To cap it off a &^%$ Monday on my way home someone committed some manner of crime at the BART station I parked at. The station is closed and trains won't stop there till it's investigated but my car is there ... the easiest thing was to get off at the next station. There's a bus straight to my home, I'll bike to work tomorrow and get the car on the way back.

but what's this? Warm woolie socks! and pink cheerful PI socks to wear on the ride to work tomorrow. Thanks OTG, I'm in cozy socks and will have some hot chocolate.

I'm feeling better.

THEN I was happy cause it was my SS package!!! Damn!!!! Are we all like freaking CONNECTED??? I've read other stories about how the gifts show up on a bad day... but this is just UNCANNY.

A polar bottle Filled with GOO!!!! and SUNSCREEN and lipbalm and cute summer socks and these hershey's chocolate kisses coated in candy (the chocolate had melted in the heat LOL) Really great!!!
