Short and sweet today...
First I have to say Thank You to the 'ying to my yang'... Amy for covering for me in my absence.
A quick SSS update.... 75 people still need to email us a delivery confirmation and with only 4 days until the shipping deadline, it's getting down to the wire...
If you have received your gift and blogged about it PLEASE sign the linky below so we can visit and see all your goodies. Please be sure you link the Post where you blogged about receiving your gift NOT a direct link to your blog.
I will be out visiting all the Secret Santa participants today to say Hi and spread some Holiday Cheer

My mom sent this to me in an email-I thought it was too funny and had to share it...
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 3 years old, and someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift. It was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her sit quietly in another room, so mom could watch me bring dad the cup of tea, because I was so cute.
Mom waited, and sure enough, I came walking down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy. Mom watches dad drink from the tea cup.
Then she says, (as only a mother would know... :) 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?

My confession for today: Abby made the NEIMAN-MARCUS Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe last night and I am happy to report I only ate 1 cookie! Goodness they are good!
P.S.
if the linky doesn't show up bare with me and I will have it added soon
That tea party story is HILARIOUS!
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff. I never ate just one cookie at a time, unless it was the last cookie available.

ReplyDeleteI have faith in people that they will get on the ball and send out their SSS gifts. We have received many DC #'s in the last 2 days and more and more people will be getting their gifts is the mail soon. Can't wait to see everyone's goodies. I have been hopping around the Mr. Linky checking it all out.
Georgie!
ReplyDeleteSo good to have you back -- you always give me such a good laugh. I love the story of you and your Dad.
Don't worry. I'm finishing my SSS shopping tomorrow and mailing 1st thing Monday (one day before deadline which in my world qualifies as darn early!). :-)
No worrys here either on your end :) I am finishing my secret santa shopping this weekend too and will be shipping it out by the deadline!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAh the toilet water. That is so fucking wrong. Poor dad.
ReplyDeleteThe toilet water story was cute. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteUmmmmmm, cookies? You can send any leftovers to me.
Oh dang. I shipped my SSS gift yesterday and didn't get confirmation. I'm sorry. I was stressed about getting it out and not thinking. I'll keep an eye on her blog to see when she gets it. Dang. I hope I put in there that it was from her secret Santa. This is a crazy time of year. Stink.
ReplyDeleteLove the tea story!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMelinda

ReplyDeleteI never sent in my deliver confirmation - by the time I remembered to do it, she had received her package LOL She's already on the link above, too. (I've already spilled the beans that I'm the Santa)
ReplyDeleteThat's far too funny about the tea!!
The snowman cannibal is my fav.
ReplyDeleteThe toilet! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI always wondered if Frosty had snow balls?
That's hysterical....water from the toilet!!! I can easily see my kids doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for organizing the swap!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the joke about the teacup toilet water! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI loved the story (which hit close to home, because my daughter once drank toilet water) and the comic strips. I needed that laugh!
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff! Love that snowman pickin his nose!
ReplyDeleteBlogged about my SSS prezzies and linkyed up too.
OMG love the snowmen cartoons.. I agree with Becky ^ that one "picking" his nose now thats that best one..
ReplyDeleteblogged and linkyed.
ReplyDeleteOOPS!!!! Sorry didn't know that someone already posted my SS for me. I posted the link again. Crazee me. :) But, trust me--it's good enough for a second read. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry people are being mean! I don't know what's going on but I'm sorry that it stresses you out. I'm even sorrier that I waited until the last minute to tell you my plan. I didn't mean to be a stresser! I heart you both and my heart goes out to you girlie! You guys deserve a cocktail hour on us, this year!
ReplyDeletehappy almost birthday!
Hey Amy! First let me thank you for organizing this really fun swap. I am sorry it was so stressful. I did blog with pix about my fabulous SS and how generous she was! I linked up aboved. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about the drama associated with your Secret Santa, Georgie. This looks like the first post that I could add a comment on, so I am doing so.
ReplyDeleteTerrible when things do not work out as planned. Hopefully, it will not ruin your enjoyment of the holiday season. You organized a wonderful thing here.
