MetaChat, I am so sorry! I've been kind of a lame holiday MetaChatter. My cards are late and I missed my Dec 25th Giftstravaganza contribution. Inside are a few New Year's gifts to make up for it (I hope). It's been that kind of year. Sorry for all the dropped balls, just glad to have made it to tonight in good health and hopeful. →[More:]So Happy New Year!

Mine too! I even bought cards (but of course now I'm out of stamps), I really hope to get around to sending them!

I'm even lamer because I'm going to complain that your dropbox links don't work if I don't have a login (and maybe even if I do but I can't try that.)

Dropped balls are always OK on New Years Eve.

As well as old k.d. lang, sham pain, Dick clerks and an aching Lombardo.

The only cards I got out were to the bunnies on my list (and I usually send them out to more than assigned, but man, not this year). I am not going to stress (well, except for my great-aunt who sent me a card and who is 93 and in poor health).

I think I am going to get a box of pretty cards that aren't holiday themed and send them to a few people.

I think it's just that kind of year.

And thanks for the post and *whuffles* to everyone!

I didn't sign up for the card exchange as I knew I would flake. I have a vague resolution not to do that kind of thing any more. I will start by sending some new year cards to friends.

Huh, that's odd, they worked when I tested them. Well, maybe I'll fix 'em tomorrow.

sham pain

Reminds me of the old toast "Here's champagne for real friends, and real pain for sham friends."

I figured out the problem, I just hadn't placed the tracks in my Public folder.

If anyone still wants them, I fixed the links in the original post above. They should work now.
