Check it out – the piggie teapot and tea that my Secret Better Pal sent!  For those of you who are unfamiliar with these swaps, it is run much like a secret Santa complete with guidelines, including spending limits.  Well, my pal is a rulebreaker – she is thumbing her nose at spending limits.  She don’t need no stinkin’ spending limits. F*** spending limits is what she says.  (my pal has a mouth on her let me tell you what) 

You all know who I think my pal is, ahem.  Tell me, who do you think it is?  and why?

Are you all jealous about my best-pal-in-the-world?

Would it put you right over the edge to hear that I had the house to myself for the entire weekend?

That I did nothing but go out to eat and knit with girlfriends?

D#1’s school held a siblings’ weekend.  Boar took D#2.  Except for giant traveling fiascos on their trip home (their plane was delayed for 7 hours!) they all had a great time.

Me too!

did you count them up?  only one more repeat and the front is finished – maybe there is hope for a Christmas deadline yet!

Dear Secret Pal,

Dude!!!!  my package arrived today and you can only imagine my glee!!  Hard to believe, but I did not have a piggie tea pot — and this guy is perfect.  Do you know that I name all my pigs?  I try to name them something to remind me of where I got them…..
…… I’m naming this one Georgie.
ps.  D#2 is away this weekend and has my camera, so I won’t be able to post pictures until Monday at the earliest.
