Delayed Secret Santa and More Herbs

So I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I belong to a pets message board that has a ton of Amazing Ladies on it. This year, one of them decided that instead of doing the normal Secret Santa that we usually do that it might be fun to do a donation Secret Santa instead. Meaning we would draw people but instead of sending their pets presents, we would send the presents as a donation to an animal shelter in our person's name and send the person a card to let the know how awesome they are and what they had donated in their name.

We decided to donate to Best Friends Animal Society. There are a lot of bully breed fans on the board (myself included). This is the incredible rescue group that took in the dogs from the world's scummiest-scumbag-lowlife-jerkface-probable son of the devil who should be strung up by his toenails and Chinese water tortured-stupidhead-twatwaffle-creep-not a real person person (michael vick who doesn't even deserve capital letters in his name!). They healed their bodies and hearts and placed them into wonderful forever homes.

Now that I'm over ranting over said dirtface jerkwad (OK, maybe not quite) I can show you the amazing bonus presents my Secret Santa sent Summit and Mitzie.


Christmas stockings for the little monstas! Aren't they so stinkin' cute?! And she even made a white one for Summit and a black and white one for Mitzie. I almost cried when I saw them because it was so sweet. She also put in some pawbreakers and fun little mice to bat around. The cats were so happy. I got the best Secret Santa ever this year!

And also, when I woke up this morning my dill had sprouted. And when I got home it was all standing up and super cute! So here's a picture of the dill that was feeling left out. Look how tall and proud it looks! In fact, it might be taller than all of the others.


My chives are looking much better, too. They were tall enough today I could pull away some of the mold? fuzzies? blanket? surrounding them. There are some little black things on them at the top. Pieces of the seed . . . shell? Whatever it's called that it grows in and stuff. Maybe I'll learn this in Biology soon and I'll be able to update with the proper term. They're looking pretty cute, though!
