well hello my dearest blog readers,

i bet y'all thought you wouldn't be receiving any more gifts this year... well, some of you were wrong. even though i am extremely new to this blogging world, i have thoroughly enjoyed meeting fellow bloggers, and being allowed a sneak peak into your lives through your blogs. i've always been a spoiler, so i've decided to give "gifts" to my new friends. well actually, i've just stolen the idea from my dearest friend at blog voyeur turned blogwhore.

so here is to you, meghan. i figure if i steal your idea, i might as well gift you first. for this holiday season you will be on the receiving end of a basket full of presents. an endless supply of wines so you an profess your love directly to the bottle at any time of day. numerous amounts of breathalyzer tests you can secretly install in some peoples ignition so that they cannot drive unless they blow under the legal limit. because drunk driving=really stupid. serious amounts of great men you can love and leave at your whim. or keep... whatever, its up to you. as much diet coke as you could drink. and lots of treats for your animals ;)....

for christine, my only dedicated reader :) my sincere appreciation for sticking with me during the beginning of my blogging career. i wish you solid strong health for yourself, your husband and your family. for time to be creative to take pictures, write or make art. for time with your lovely children and grandchildren and for opportunities to explore.. then come back and tell us all about it,

for maegan at ...love maegan: i grant you good hair days every single day of 2009. well, at least fun hair days. accidental shopping sprees at least once a month which just happen to be free when you make it to the counter (and free of drunk men ignoring your personal space). and lots and lots and lots of sexy time with that hubby of yours you love so very much...

for cjane, nie nie and their entire family i bestow upon you a new year filled with healing, growing, and abundant creativity. you already have the love from each other, and the entire blogging community. you've already put yourselves out there as role models to the rest of us, so i just wish you an endless supply of wonderful opportunities...

for tia at clever girl goes blog, i wish for you and hubs a handful of free vacations, a closet of new clothes for the puppy. two closets of new clothes for you. many new applications for the iphone. and an increase in customers who want to pay big, but only need a trim...

to amanda, aka mermanda, i wish you the best peacock themed wedding ever. and i'm going to hope that since glamour wanted to share your engagement with the world, maybe they'll want to share your wedding as well, and this might make them feel the need to pay for it....

for my fantastic new friend, the goddess of everything, i wish for you endless whiskey filled rockabilly shows. fantastic pin up girl prints. anne taintor to make a line of products dedicated to you and some sexy man to add a little extra spice to your already spicy life!

erik, for providing the idea and encouraging me to start my own... i give you all the motivation and determination to kick ass in 2009 with your 101 in 1001.

mrs. ruby at ruby red slippers: the answer to any question she has about her new locale. i'm not really sure how long you have been around, probably long enough that you don't need my help, but if you do...

for the ladies at the mean girls guide to glory, i simply bestow upon you a year filled with endless partying, vacations, hot men, great shoes and stories to share with the rest of us.

for david at the rest is still unwritten, this year, even though it may not have come in time for christmas, a gorgeous, intelligent and caring little lady who will fall asleep in your arms and with her arm also around diesel, in front of the fireplace. that and the good fortune for other wonderful experiences to sumble your way.

for the distracked spunk, you pick what you would like, because you deserve it. you have what i currently consider to be the best voice of the bloggers i read. that being said. for the rest of you, if you want a gift. go read her posts. that is one of the best gifts you'll receive this year.

i hope you all have had the opportunity to have a wonderful holiday season. my thoughts are with you all.
