To my SS. You have been very patient. I apologize profusely for the delay in getting your package to it. Finally, though, I have it all together, and will be put in the mail toodayyy! I promise I promise!

Yay! I got a package today! All the way from Phoenix and full of lots of goodies. Those toe covers will really come in handy. I've been having trouble keeping my toes warm because I can't fit thick wooly socks in by cycling shoes. Problem is now solved by something I didn't even know existed! And I'm just getting ready for a bit of hot chocolate tonight. BF is off to the pub to watch footy so I'm having a quite restful evening at home with chocolate and a cuddly cat. Ghirardelli is far more exclusive than what I normally throw together! So thank you gazillions!!!

And thank you from Susie Q too! She was very happy with her brand new box and paper to play with. For some reason she loves being curled up in a cardboard box, or sitting on paper, or biting cardboard. (and she is my very cute little cat in case you were wondering...)

Dragged myself down to the mailbox on another rainy, cold day (by Phoenix standards), and there was a package all the way from Israel! I'm so excited over all the thoughtful contents, and can't wait to try the homemade jam and the honey (I have to figure out how to keep this stuff away from my husband).
And an herb pillow! Can't wait to try it out!
Thank you so much, Margaret!

WOOT I squeked in my present to the post office today. Sorry to my secret sister for making her wait so long.

I received a package from my SS. No return addy, but it seems to have come from Massachusetts. hmmm.....trying to figure this out.

What a great surprise it was! It has been so cold here, I haven't ridden in a week. All I want to do is get under the electric blanket, but now I'm more inspired.

I received a fleece balaclava, so pretty and WARM! Chocolate, hey who doesn't love that! A bike journal, I can't wait to start on it. It has a place to write about your ride. A great bike diary I can look back at some day. PowerBar gels. Very pretty trek socks that perfectly match my Trek 7.2fx, and a purple sprocket keychain, which is just in time since I broke my other keychain last week.

You certainly made my "dang-it's-cold-and-I-have-to-run-a-concession-stand-with-the-junior-class-all-day-Saturday", weekend MUCH more enjoyable!

Thank you so much!

That must be me with the secret friend in Richmond, VA

Thank you thank you Jeannie. I love it all. I cannot tell you how many times I nearly bought those ear warmers myself!! And the toasty toes I will have to hide from my skiing dad and perpetually cold husband! Everything is awesome.

My pets were very interested in the new smells. The dog worked over every piece of tissue paper and the cat couldn't handle being one-upped so he draped himself across it. Love the color

So, thank you once again.

[jeannierides]

Yeah, Colby, it is I! I guess I give the secret away with my return address - I think I'm the only TE member who actually lists Richmond as my town. Maybe I should put Central VA... at least that would put me in the company of 3 and I'd be a teeeny bit more obscure.
Anyway, glad you were happy with your package. I had mucho fun putting it together!

WOOT I squeked in my present to the post office today. Sorry to my secret sister for making her wait so long.

And would that package have been shipped to North Carolina, perhaps?

Guanajagirl...are you my SS?

If so, THANK YOU!!! I know it's been said a thousand times before, but once again...your package came just when it was sorely needed! I had an awful day last Friday that ended with a nasty migraine. By the time I got home, I was in a foul mood. I opened the mailbox and saw a box for me and voila! instant mood shift!

Thank you so much for the adorable slipper socks (how did you know how cold it would get here this week?! good timing!!), the yummy chocolate and almonds (I LOVE both!), and the book on tape! It sounds like a great story and since we leave for a road trip on Friday, I'll be sharing it with my DH on the way. I apologize for not thanking you sooner, but I was without internet all weekend and didn't get time to 'investigate' your identity until today!

If it's not you, I'm stummped...so let me know!

Thanks again!!

Got a wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday, all the way from San Jose! Thank you SS for all the goodies, Cliff shots, toe warmers, coffee scented candles, new california socks and everything else! I already opened and used the lip balm and plan to use the toe warmers on Sunday when I head out skiing. Thank you!!!!

Patty

Mountainpuddles are you my SS??

[guanajagirl]

Yup GLC1968 guilty as charged! Glad you enjoyed it!

What fun to come home last night after a long rainy commute to find a surprise waiting for me on my porch . Thank you so much to my Texas SS - Aggie_Ama (???)

The Smartwool socks will keep my feet toasty on my chilly weekend morning rides. Sport beans - love them! Sharkies are new to me, so I'm looking forward to giving those a try on the road. How did you know the lip balm in my bento box was almost gone? Saving the coffee to share with DH for our Saturday waffle breakfast. I am intrigued with the Mexican style hot chocolate which I'm going to take to work today to enjoy - with my lovely new mug. Note to self, pack some milk with your lunch today!

Thanks again for your well thought out goodies. You certainly brightened up a very gloomy California day.

At least I think my SS was kerrybelle--the only hit when I searched on "Bayville, New Jersey" was your intro post. So thank you so much! It was well worth waiting for!

I really appreciate that you went to so much trouble to tailor the package just for me--lots of delicious vegan treats, toe warmers (how did you know I'm using them EVERY DAY now on my commute?) and fuzzy warm things to heat me up during this cold snap.

Thank you--it's like Christmas all over again.

You are very welcome! Sorry for the delay, it was such a nutty month. Maybe I was just waiting for a gloomy day to come.

Yes, it's me. So glad you enjoyed the gifts. I like the carob energy treats, hope you do, too.
