I spy with my little eye...

a Canada Post truck in front of my window!


I wonder if there's a package for me??

Alright, because it was in such demand, here's a picture of Larry's testicles going on their maiden voyage:

ppps: please, no fapping to my photo (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, LARRY B) :lol:

The poster is a familiar one, but I was never in London in the early 90"s. There are lots of places that sell old tube posters which is a pretty cool idea. Love the waistcoat! :thumb:

So, I was out doing a few errands this afternoon, and when I got back there was a box in front of my door! :yeay:
I was a little nervous at first about approaching the box;normally, we do not have Sunday delivery service here. I guess Canada Post added extra shifts to deal with the holiday volume. Anyway, I checked the label and saw that it was from a lovely lady in the best borough in NYC- Queens! :rockon:

My box of goodies:

A fabulous Queens tote black in purple and black. My favourite colour combinationn,btw. I always use tote bags for grocery shopping, so this will be well used.

Pepperidge Farm Milano Slices in Peppermint(Limited Edition). Can't wait to try these!

NYC CIty Taxi Drivers calendar. Someone on Facebook,maybe Romeo, or one of my other NYC area friends posted about it, and I considered ordering one for myself.

A little New York City notebook. I'm going to use it for my ideas and things I want to do and see in NYC when I go there in June for the Cure concert.

A book called The Pun Also Rises by John Pollack. I'll probably start reading it tonight. :cool:

Image

Here's two different poses of all the loot. :lol:

Image

This book is truly punderful! I'm going to work on some really excellent puns for my ANR family. You guys are in for a treat! :hehe:

I haven't got my present yet. If it hasn't been delivered, it's because it currently can't be delivered. Which probably means it's not a regular present. Which means it's a car.

Thank you in advance, my lovely SS!

Ok, I finally gathered all the stuff for Secret Santa.

Sorry I’m a bit late, so it’ll be a new year’s rather than a Christmas present.

Will ship it on monday.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Ps: I haven’t received mine either yet :agree:

Mine went out yesterday, sorry for the lateness. Had another kid in November and had a hard time making it to the post office.

i havent been feeling well so my present actually made it unopened til christmas! but today i opened it and was super excited! thanks cricket! it's all wonderful!

Image

Image

i got some colorado goodies - chocolate, honey, and salsa! plus my doggie got peanut butter treats! And there was also an adorable doxie colorado flag sticker and a trent reznor saint candle! :lol: As a lapsed Catholic, I think this may bring me back to religion.

i can't wait to try all the goods! the honey is especially timely since ive been feeling under the weather.

candle close up:

Image

after opening up my gifts, i figured my dog, Dewey, would want to eat his gift too:

Image

my dog isn't very good with sitting still, but i think he's going to like it...

Image

yup, he loves it

Image

thanks again, cricket! the gifts were wonderful and so thoughtful. Dew and I thank you!! Merry Christmas! :wave:

Agent 99:

So sorry to hear you weren't feeling well, but super stoked you liked the Colorado lovin'! I'm glad that last photo is of The Dew eating his cookie and not harking it back up on the carpet! :lol: Since you'll be back in the fold, be sure to say a little prayer for yours truly- I need all the help I can get! SAVE ME, ST TRENT!

Happy holidays to you FG, and everyone on ANR!
