After Today, Consider Me Gone

[taste_is_sweet]

I am off to Portugal with the fam. I am looking forward to it with my usual mixture of glee and dread. Mostly dread at this stage, possibly because I haven't finished packing yet.

But, hell, it is Portugal, and I've had wonderful times every time I've been to Europe before. I've just never been so far from home with the kid, which is what's freaking me out.

::Sighs:: I wish I weren't worried. I'll probably feel fine once we're on the airplane. I hope.

Anyway, see you later, everyone! I'll be back in early July, though we'll apparently have internet access so I might be online every so often or more....

Later, dudes!

OMG! PARCEL! I AM SO EXCITED!

I'd even forgotten about it, I have to admit. That just makes it doubly awesome! Thank you!

And hey, please don't worry about replying to comments of mine. I'm just glad you read 'em. :)

YOUR CAPSLOCK FILLS ME WITH GLEE!!!

:)

Yay for doubly awesome!

I was originally not going to give you any advanced warning, but then I realised that I don't know how parcels are delivered to you and that you might appreciate the advanced notice. (The extra bonus-- or torture, whichever-- of anticipation was entirely secondary!)

And I looked through my emails for comments waiting to be replied to and I didn't find any of yours (at least, not in the past month), so evidently I was worrying for no account! Silly Fish!

I AM FULL OF GLEE, BABY! :D

I do appreciate the advance warning, but just so you know, unless the package is sent by FedEx or UPS or some such or requires a signature, the post guys will just drop it in front of the door, ring the doorbell, and leave. We have even got a box nearly as big as I was full of replacement sofa cushions like that. And the anticipation was lovely. :)

I got it yesterday, and it was so sweet and charming and touching and wonderful that I was holding my little yarn cheesecake and I was almost in tears. Seriously. Your generosity and kindness touched me a great deal. Thank you.

And since I wrote 'touching' twice in the same paragraph, I should also add moving to that description. :) The cake slice is now on the shelf where I keep my sci-fi dollies action figures, because it wouldn't fit in the curio cabinet, and both places are where I put precious things.

You are very welcome!

*flaily hands of glee* I am so happy it makes you happy! *hug*
