Ha! I love that you are using the handwriting as a clue. Actually, I remember thinking that the handwriting on my poem was totally believable as Sesh handwriting.
How so? The writing on the card is closer than the writing on the poem (I dion't usually dot my "i"s or have my sentences line up all nice and pretty). You have no idea how long it took to write that out so you could actually read it. I have the most awful handwriting ever because of the cramps and spasms I get in my fingers.
Mostly because it was thin and slanty and elegant? I don't know, it just seemed plausible.
Mara said I have nice handwriting too, which is weird. I have pretty awful regular handwriting, though my math/physics handwriting is nice.
YAY! Thank you so much! Seriously, those are all things that I would have gotten for myself. When I posted them on FB, my sister was like "Wow, someone knows you well" haha.
Oh, and I posted this on TK wonky thread, but BK is right, I was her SS. It was so much fun shopping for you, BK, and I'm so glad you love the Tea Rex because he is awesome. The website I bought him from was FredFlare.com. They sell lots of cool, quirky stuff like that. I even bought flowers-in-a-can from Fred Flare for my BMs gifts for our wedding.
I think my SS is Celles. I tried not to look at the return address by I did see a couple of zip code digits and they were terribly familiar.
I know who I was SS for knows who I am because I completely suck at being sneaky.
I was tempted to avoid return addresses altogether and drop it off on your doorstep (I was literally in your neighborhood on Saturday!), but I decided that might be a little creepy, lol. I'm really glad you liked it! I told H you said you liked useful things so he helped me shop, because he does too.
My SS took DMills' suggestion of a conservative/liberal gift exchange to heart , and sent me an "Apocalypse Cakes: Recipes for the End" cookbook to warm my heathen heart, and a 365 day calendar called "Strange Brew: Bagging on the Tea Party." I'm trying really hard not to flip through it, because I want to enjoy it one day at a time next year. There were also two adorable snowmen, cat and dog toys -- one for each of my two cats and four dogs! -- and a Christmas sweater t-shirt for H, who has been boasting of his newfound freedom to "bare arms" (now that he is an honorary American, lol). I love the entire gift, and everyone who has seen it -- I've been AWing it around work, too! -- thinks it's hilariously appropriate.
I know from the card that she's a Republican and the return address that she's in Ohio -- so I'm going to guess DMills?
You would be correct I'm so happy that you liked the stuff. I loved that cookbook so much. It's so wrong, and bad, but so funny. I thought you'd be able to appreciate the humor in the way it was written.
Your picks for favorite cakes are also two of my favorites, and as wrong as it is, I laughed pretty hard at the BP oil spill cake.
I had Chels but she already guessed that. Stupid FB giving it away. Haha.
I think I'm about as obsessed with penguins as you are.
And Rhon had me, but we all knew that!

And I know exactly what you mean: I laughed at the Hurricane Katrina Superdome Cake... and then felt so guilty about it that I actually kind of looked around to make sure no one noticed! (The cat did, but he's half demonspawn himself and didn't care.)
Also, confession? After we got into it on SB about OWS, I was all "OMG, what if she's my SS!" -- not because I thought you'd stiff me (I didn't!), but because my biggest fear going into this was someone being disappointed to draw me. I wasso excited to draw Girlie that I actually cheered, and I didn't want to provoke the opposite reaction in anyone I may have offended, since know I can be kind of a snarky b. (and the b. doesn't stand for "bride" *cough*) in political threads. Since then, I've paid much more attention to your posts and have come to admire your ability to inject humor into politically tense -- or just tense -- conversations. As soon as I opened the gift, I knew it had to be you! I'm only sorry I don't have a baby to send you, in lieu of a thank you note.
I'd just like to say that I'm disappointed in DMills. I told her to send you pepper spray, Celles. I told her you'd laugh. She obviously didn't believe me.
Sorry I am late! Between my work, being MTN time ... anyway my SS has posted a lot in this thread. Do you want me to tell you who?
Also, mine came from IN. I originally thought Mara, then I thought Duds, but I think she already outted herself. Unless it was a fake address. All of the stuff was national brands too so I am stuck.
Be back soon.
It was me! I didn't want to put a return address on the package, but the PO made me (bitches).
Arwo, what are your questions??! I love everything, if that was the question.

I would have laughed!
It's practically a food product, right? That means I practically have pepper spray on my spice rack already.

Yay! I am proud of myself for guessing right. My 6th sense, and the fact that IN is in your SN are spot on. I love it! I use my new mug all the time. I also hung the snowflakes on our front picture windows with little suctiony hooks, everyone has been complimenting them. Thank you so much.
Re: SS REVEAL, PART TWO!
Yep! Merry Christmas! There are only so many of us in Florida so it was kind of hard to be sneaky ha ha
Mostly because it was thin and slanty and elegant? I don't know, it just seemed plausible.

We could try a process of elimination dealie. Based on who has been revealed so far.
It wasn't:
Me (arwo); Sesh; Hike; Koda; CCF; Anna; Steph; Alli; AATB; MrsBJS; Raynes; Any; MilkDuds; Megh; Sara; Rhonwyn; Celles; YIO; DMill...
Wow, that's actually exhausting. Anybody else want to add to this list?
YAY! Thank you so much! Seriously, those are all things that I would have gotten for myself. When I posted them on FB, my sister was like "Wow, someone knows you well" haha.

I have no idea who sent it. It came from the north pole, and there was a card inside that said not to open it until after the reveal.
Rhonwyn, I'm glad you like everything! I love the way that candle smells.
You would be correct

Me. I'm glad you liked it, I wasn't sure if it was cheesy or not.
I think maybe DNA had me, but only from the clues she just gave.
I know! But I'm not telling.
You'll have to tell me how awesome those flavor sprinkles are though. i'm intrigued.

It wasn't me (I had raynes). But I'd be happy to send you Rocky Mountain Chocolate, salsa, Chai tea, and Cheez-its.
I love it all! Thank you so much!

THANKS ANNA. haha
I will, as soon as I use them! My neighbor (she's 10) was obsessed with wanting to smell them yesterday.
Ok I have to bail, I need to actually work today. Since my SS hasnt posted yet, I had Jamiefour - I hope she liked what I sent!
Later ladies!
It was me! I hope you like Brutus. Sorry it wasn't a multi part gift. He was just so cute.
Eat.Drink.BeMarried. Blog.
YIO, thanks for thinking of me.....
alas, I had Nebb.
But who is my SS??? I am dying of curiosity. They put IN on the return but it may have fooled me with a fake address. I just want to know!!
I love Brutus - he fits in very nicely on my shelf, I think. Its right above my desk so I like looking up at him when im hanging out. Thank you!!!!!
I am glad you got your reveal before you had to leave!

Is your town right? I have a friend from there.
DNA- Yes, the town in the address is where I live. It's crazy that you have a friend from here!
*sings It's a Small World*
Feel better!
Nobody has guessed me for their SS yet. I must be better than I thought!
