if you haven't listed your likes and dislikes, allergies etc. now is the time to do it. everyone has been assigned a secret santa and i might even be willing (ha, i can hardly wait) er...be persuaded to pm them early. more shopping/shipping time couldn't hurt.

 :christmastree; :christmastree; :christmastree; :christmastree;

so i guess i'd better include my list:

dark chocolate

vanilla candles

fat pens

tea for one

size large

any thing from your state or country

favorite color: purple

Right... Just home from town... I went to get the Irish things.... Trust me to forget that the Dublin City Marathon was happening today... Thank God to be home in one piece!.... I'm not at all attracted to skinny men, or men with facial hair... This guy wasn't looking where he was going... He landed in my lap... I could feel his bones... And I'd say his beard weighed more than he did... Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhhhh..... The trauma!!!!!!!......

Got the Irish stuff... SO looking forward to hearing who Mum and I are SS to... Will be delighted to get the shoping done, and the gifts posted... Then I shall sit back, and hope our people like what we have chosen for them!...

Ohhhhhhh, I'm getting SO excited!.... :rudolph;

Love to all....

I like Eeyores (so much I'm beginning to run out of room...is that such a thing?  :rofl; ), Carmel, Chocolate (even though my mom likes it more than I ever could!), and anything having to do with animals.
I dislike licorice, cherries, most grape things, and steak.
I'm pretty easy!
