It’s December, 2nd and I have not yet booked my flight to Germany. Mind you, I am planning to be on the plane in two weeks. Tsss.
I really am as cool as a cucumber, am I not?
The phrase alone cracks me up. As cool as a cucumber. Only my dear German readers will understand why I find the translation slighty amusing.
BUT: I am on top of things otherwise. I’ve already counted the addresses that will be used to make sure that all my Christmas cards go to the right place. FORTY-SEVEN *cough* And I am pretty sure I am still missing a few.
You probably wonder, who in the world knows that many people (and writes Christmas cards – as in paper cards! – to them)? Ahm, yes, that would be me. My name is San. Nice to meet you.
Clearly, if you’re not already my friend, you really want to be my friend now, don’t you?!

December 2, 2008 at 8:36 pmhaha.. I’ve never heard that phrase before.
I just bought some xmas cards last weekend and started putting a list together…. you are on it, but I don’t think I have the correct address. So would you mind sending me your “new” address?
And what’s going on? How come you didn’t book a flight yet? We booked ours in August!!! You really are a “coole Gurke” haha.

December 2, 2008 at 10:23 pmI was making my christmas card list yesterday and I think I only have your old address too.
Could you send me your current one please?
My list is not as long as yours, there are only 26 cards to write for me.

December 2, 2008 at 10:26 pmWell, you do know Ute! She has way way too many friends. I told her it is time to downsize but she aint havin it! Haha. Cool as a cucumber does not really make sense here either…unless of course it is referring to the myth of applying sliced cucumbers to the eyes to reduce puffiness. Anything “cool” will do that, cucumbers are not special. And without a fridge to cool them they are just room temp anyway.

December 3, 2008 at 5:51 amI really enjoy sending Christmas cards and receiving them, but it’s never a number like 47!

December 3, 2008 at 11:39 amBoo…i forgot to send you my address…or did I?
I want a card too!!
Look at me whining like a 2 year old. In any case, I think the idea of mailed out paper cards is precious!

December 3, 2008 at 4:48 pmI will not tell you how many we will be sending out. Let’s just say too many! LOL!~ Yes, you will be getting one, but may come while you are in Germany.

December 4, 2008 at 12:25 am47? Wow, you’re so popular!
I remember I used to be able to buy one box of Christmas cards (anywhere from 18-24 in a box) and that would suit me just fine. But now, combining friends and family of Eric’s with my friends and family, I am sending out way more cards. This year I had to buy 2 boxes!
