mhalachaiHey kids. Happy Saturday. Just a few quick notes:
1: To the anonymous poster who gave me an LJ-gift, thanks so much! I return the sentiment and wish you the best of the holiday season!
2. If you've recently friended me and want me to friend you back, drop by and say hi. Also, I'm kind of curious as to how you found me in the first place, so if you want to share.... :)
2. Does anyone have any idea what I can get my mother for Christmas?
3. I'm not sure what I want to write today. Maybe I'll go through and fix things. Or respond to all those comments I need to get to. Or watch some DVDs. It's boring here in Vancouver right now.
One week and an hour to vacation!

no subject
Date: 2006-12-09 10:36 pm (UTC)She could also try a good wine along with something in the 'tasty good' category.

Date: 2006-12-09 10:57 pm (UTC)Green and white tea also go well with a lot of stuff but tend to be for things that have stronger flavors, seeing as these teas don't cover up the taste so much (at least in my own opinion).

Date: 2006-12-09 10:43 pm (UTC)Oh! And she's really a fan of non-caffinated teas. Hrm. That might be an idea. Maybe.

Jessi.

Date: 2006-12-09 11:12 pm (UTC)TTH is so amazing. I have so much love for that site and the great authors there.
I'm glad you got into Firefly. Such a cool idea and a great show :)

Date: 2006-12-09 11:14 pm (UTC)My Mom likes jewelry, she has earrings and rings galore and the more different and unusual the piece the better. If your Mom likes unusual earrings let me know, I have a friend that makes them. (sorry for the advertising…can’t help myself ^^; )
Hope I gave you an idea or two.

Date: 2006-12-09 11:26 pm (UTC)Jewelry!
Date: 2006-12-09 11:44 pm (UTC)And I friended you for the crossover crack! Saw your stuff on tth, decided to come straight to the source, so to speak. :-O
Re: Jewelry!
Date: 2006-12-10 03:58 am (UTC)Crossover crack! I'm all about the crossovers... which I think is apparent :D
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 12:00 am (UTC)Any way...
1. Wasn't me. But I give you cypber cookies *plate 'o cookies*
2(a). ^-^ New Mhal fans come into the fold! Woot! (in a non-scary-cult-way *hides Frank the sacrifice*)
2(b). I ordered some weird CD my mother kept hinting she wanted. Its not come yet, so I worry Sir Terry Wogan is mocking me somewhere in the BBC radio station. So, I have no advice here, but to warn against buying CDs from Sir Wogan.
3. Smuh, its a weekend. Who cares? Be a lump. ^-^
I am also a fan of that icon. Stupid MySpace freaks. *snarl grumble*
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 04:01 am (UTC)Also, I can't count. We like stalkers. As long as they leave comments :)
I was basically a lump today. I can't recall a single thing I've done that was producitve. Oh, I went and bought a pepper mill. That was something.
I love this icon with all kinds of love.

Date: 2006-12-10 04:04 am (UTC)Ooh, I'm on vacation next week! I can go there during the day and avoid the crowds! What a wonderful thought.
I love watching the glass blowing. I always feel as if I'm going to bust something when I go into the shop itself, though.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 04:45 am (UTC)The dragon place is really neat too. I love that store.
I definitely vote for going during the day to avoid the crowds. Although this time of year there's no getting away from them.
Good luck :)

Date: 2006-12-10 02:03 am (UTC)As for the tea conversation, I'm not a huge tea person, but I ran into this amazing concept a while ago. It was blooming tea. Dried flowers folded up so that as the tea brews, the flower blooms in the cup. Use clear cups for the best effect. So (if you could find it) maybe some of that and a set of clear glasses/mugs?
Oh, and I haven't friended you for some reason, but it made me think... and I finally concluded that I found you via Pomme De Sang :)
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 06:02 am (UTC)And yes, Pomme De Sang. I love AB fic sites. Everyone's all so... organized :)
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 05:14 am (UTC)Along with that you could get her some novelty yarns. I always love thos furry yarns. Wool and/or Alpaca yarns are always wonderful to recieve.
Other things you could think about are double pointed needles, stitch counters, stitch holders and a tote or basket to put her knitting in.
*hides knitting needles* Er...no! I'm not a knitter...really! *grin*
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 05:52 am (UTC)And it's okay if you're a knitter. The first step to getting help is admiting you have a problem :P
no subject
Date: 2006-12-10 06:02 am (UTC)If you go the tea route, can I throw in a huge rec for Upton Tea- http://www.uptontea.com/shopcart/home.asp Some really good fruit and herbal teas as well as the traditional stuff, and they'll personalize all thier standard-sized cannisters for no extra charge. They've gotten raves from everyone I know who has bought from them. (and they ship US to Canada for a flat rate)

Date: 2006-12-11 09:15 pm (UTC)Thanks for the URL :)

Date: 2006-12-11 09:18 pm (UTC)And I hear you on the use of fic to avoid homework. That sums up a lot of what I've been doing in recent months.

Fic-reading to avoid finals... oh yeah!
And, random icon love - "It's... Mountain Dew."

Date: 2006-12-11 01:30 pm (UTC)Followed you here from crossoverfic I think, and stayed for the other crossover goodness. In fact, you probably dragged me past casual viewing of Supernatural into something more serious. :D
no subject
Date: 2006-12-20 08:07 am (UTC)And anything that generates a more-than-serious-watching of SPN is a good thing.
Welcome to the blog!

A bunch of the coffeeshops around here have them in cute holiday designs for the same $10-$15. It makes a nice combo gift with the tea.
Even if she never uses it as intended, it makes a cute holiday decoration.
