Dear Froglet,
It is very exciting to be an angel in tomorrow's Children's Mass, I agree. And I got you the part you wanted ("regular angel", as opposed to "angel-with-a-speaking-part", which requires reading skills we do not yet possess). And yes, I have your costume. And yes, I will iron it.
As soon as I locate the box in which I have already packed the iron *cries*
Love,
Mummy
Dear Tadpole,
No, the cat doesn't like to have its whiskers pulled. The cat doesn't like to be squished, even with much love, either. And if you kiss the cat, you WILL end up with cat hair in your mouth. You have been warned.
Tail-pulling, leg-pulling, ear-biting are strictly prohibited. No, the cat doesn't think it's fun. She's growling, sweetpea, not purring.
Love,
Mummy
Dear Cat,
Run faster, you idiot.
Love,
rainette

strange_selkie's lovely meme: thank you. I'm not sure I deserve it all, but thank you all so very, very much. We're currently going through rough times, and kind words are more than welcome. *hugs f-list*

Date: 2004-12-23 10:44 am (UTC)Well. I suppose I'll survive too, then. *hugs* Thank you!
no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 10:56 am (UTC)I've now moved zero times in 10 years. This is far preferable.
Loved all your letters. I have got to meet you guys next time I leave this Christchildforsaken country of mine- hopefully sometime early in cinco de millenio.

Date: 2004-12-23 11:41 am (UTC)Zero times in 10 years is our aim; I moved, uh, 4 times in the last ten years, but the last time it was a transatlantic move, does it count double?
no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 10:27 am (UTC)This, too, shall pass. :-D
And then you will be in your beautiful new home.
no subject
Date: 2004-12-23 10:46 am (UTC)yeah, that's what I tell myself. Also, we are finally moving into OUR home, I mean, we are no longer renting. As in: we're going to STAY there for awhile.
No. More. Moving.

Date: 2004-12-23 10:43 am (UTC)Hope everything gets less exhausting soon! Because then you can come back to us! :D
*massive hugs*

Date: 2004-12-23 10:47 am (UTC)Less than a month to go, hopefully. I would squee, only I am out of breath and energy to squee.
*hugs back* meep, so much work

Date: 2004-12-23 10:59 am (UTC)Cheer up, it'll be over in a few weeks! And then you can spend the next year figuring out the perfect place to put things, and
then it'll be time to move againthen you can stay there forever!I'll be glad when you're back online more consistently, though. I miss you!

Date: 2004-12-23 11:45 am (UTC)One GOOD thing is that there are a few boxes we didn't even bother opening after the last time we moved, so now we debate whether to just dispose of them unopened (this is stuff we haven't needed for 3 years, what are the chances we need it desperately later on?), or to Open and Sort first (my inner packrat is thrilled).
And I miss you too. *sighs*

Although I do hope no-one counts on my idiotic cat to defy Sauron and Save the World.

Date: 2004-12-23 01:49 pm (UTC)Much love and good luck your way. Congrats on staying as sane as you have through the entire process. Keep up the amazingly good work! And just think... you have all the unpacking to do later.
