Hello, I received my beautiful wrapped package today from my Secret Santa.  Yeah, first gift under the tree.  My granddaughter tried to open it. HaHa.

 :clap;  My gift arrived today.  I have no idea where it came from as my husband got to our mail carrier first and has hidden it away until Christmas.
Thanks Santa!

Thanks for the sympathy, Poppy!   :P  It's not in any of his usual hiding places, believe me I've looked!   >:D

I think the list is a great idea, but then I'm warped that way (most of the time).

I say play the name game!!!
If you did not send your gift yet, or have not told Poppylicious about when it will be sent, look for your name!

Mine was sent and they received it already!

I have received nothing yet!    :'(

Waiting....waiting...

Hopefully everyone will let Poppy know by the end of the week that they have mailed out their gifts.
If you have a problem don't wait until the last minute - let her know what's going on, please!

A package arrived from somewhere in Suwanee, Georgia.  It says do not open until Christmas. Hmmmm! To open or not to open. What a question!

Here we go...The petting, the fondling, shaking, general molestation of the package until Christmas.  Your packages need a lot more than the do not open until Christmas warning.

I still have eight people who need to confirm that packages have been sent.  Of those, seven have been in contact and explained why they haven't made it to the Post Office yet, but one hasn't bothered to contact me at all. *sigh*

To those eight people ... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE tell me when your packages are sent!

To everybody ... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE tell me when your packages arrive! 

To date:
27 packages posted
15 packages received

We're getting there!

You're right, Kitz...

It's always a relief when you hear that your person has received their package!... I'd hate to think that my person hasn't got their gift...

My gift has arrived... Just Mum's to go....

August 1980: Diagnosed with Familial Juvenile Hyperurecemic Nephropathy (FJHN)
8.22.10:   Began dialysis through central venous catheter
8.25.10:   AV fistula created
9.28.10:   Began training for Home Nocturnal Hemodialysis on a Fresenius Baby K
10.21.10: Began creating buttonholes with 15ga needles
11.13.10: Our first nocturnal home treatment!

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty. The glass is just twice as large as it needs to be.
