- yay! \* I’m so excited. 🙂 There were a couple Dopers who made me go, “Oh, I know _exactly_ what I’d getcha!” when I read their responses … and I got one of them! Thanks again for setting this up, **freck** , and double-thanks for inadvertantly making this eeeaaasy for me! I haven’t looked forward to Christmas this much in a while. This is nice. ---

So…this is gonna be a weird post… It won’t be a surprise to you, since you are the one who paired the names, but I have you **frecka** and I can’t help but notice that no where in this thread or in your e-mail did you do the little description thing about you. So is there any chance you can post that or PM me about it? It’ll be a surprise what I actually get you, but I don’t feel I’m doing too much to give anything away by posting this. ---

Dang! I knew I was forgetting something. I like funky jewelry, odd refrigerator magnets, and anything to do with kittehs. Local/handmade/crafty stuff is great. I like purple and blue. Does that help??? ---

I guess this would be a good opportunity to remind everyone to post hints to the list. Some of you have, but some of you haven’t. So if you haven’t…DO IT!!! ---

My gift came in from Ebay today. The item I got is a bit rare and Ebay was the best place to find it at a price Santa could afford. I will go by the post office tomorrow. ---

It’ll be going out tomorrow instead of today, but I kind of wish I’d known some likes and dislikes of my giftee. That’s a hint by the way.
