A Midsummer Night's Dream (Summer 2014 Secret Santa) Discussion

[meaganola]

I'm late, but I thought positive get-that-job-and-promotion thoughts at @@utgal2004 and @@klg534 today!  Fingers crossed!

In unrelated news, am I losing my mind, or is this the only Sample Society swap thread out there:  https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/130440-sample-society-swap-thread-2014/

There are only two posts in it, and it hasn't been used since February, so I'm left wondering if maybe the real thread vanished in the forum move and hasn't been recreated.  Or if maybe there's just that little amount of interest in swapping for that particular sub.

Another question. Does anyone know if it's possible to send your Birchbox favorites list to someone? Or if you can link it somehow? I was thinking that would be GREAT to add to my wish list since a lot of people are trying to use up points (I know I am!)

It is not an ideal situation but a work around may be to take a screen shot (multiple if necessary) and post them behind a spoiler on your survey.  Or you can just add text like "I have been keeping my eye on/lusting after these items in the BB shop!" Then list them.

Hope that helps!

The screen shot idea is excellent! I will definitely be using that!

Yay!  Glad I could help!

I have finally gotten to my new town! To my fairy godparent: I will fill out the survey this weekend. Life = crazy right now.

Hooray for safe travels!  Good luck with settling in!

I am just lurking in this exchange, but I am having a blast reading the posts on this thread! It's nice seeing so much positivity after a long day at work /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Congratulations!!

Thank you!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Congrats!  Thats a long interview process!

Yes it was! But I had about 3 interviews so it was mostly just the process of scheduling it all with the appropriate people 

Congratulations!  That's fantastic!

My interview is over... I have no idea how I did but I sure hope it doesn't take 6 weeks...

Thanks!! I hope you hear very very soon! Mine only took so long b/c I had multiple interviews /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Well.  So.  I think I have my entire game plan (except for the non-makeup extras) figured out already!  At least as long as my person doesn't buy these things, of course.  I'll wait a little while before I order these things so they're not sitting here waiting for kitties to play with them or me to lose them, though.  I wouldn't be tempted to keep them for myself because they're pretty much all things I already have!

In completely unrelated news, ooh, Teefury has a t-shirt called All Work and No Play today!  It's Jack (Nicholson as Torrance, not whoever it was in the miniseries), but his face is comprised entirely of typewritten "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," over and over and over.  Instabuy.

And it's not even 9:15pm yet, but I think I'm going to head off to bed.  I felt so *off* today that I had to ask a coworker whether it was Wednesday or Thursday, and I *still* had to double-check multiple times to make sure I knew what day it was.  I'm hoping extra sleep will take care of that.

Swatch book is coming along if you ignore my serial killer handwriting and the fact it's not all purdified because it's for my use lol

Ok I am still trying to figure out how to edit. I will post my survey this weekend. I think i will have better luck on a desktop but right now my computer is not working. I have ideas in my head for my Godchild. This will be fun.

"serial killer handwriting" made me lol, twice.  This is a great idea though!  It will be really helpful to help coordinate an entire look.

Edited to add: Seriously, I'm still laughing about it.

 

[tweakabell]

It's awful, and hubby's is even worse. You know in crime shows when they analyze the note mine would just be "Yup she's crazy. these squiggly lines and giant loops means she kills people with spoons. No, seriously we have the scientific evidence."

I am amazed by the fact I spelled giant with a j and then proceeded to type scientific perfectly.

Hahah yes, my mom is addicted to those shows.  Giant with a g is overrated.  Jiant!  So, after I caught up on this thread I popped over to the enablers thread and then I see you called a phone case a 'phone condom'.  Then I was laughing about that.  Between the laughing and coughing (I'm sick!) I don't know if I am coming or going.

 

[tweakabell]

Yes I'm an odd duck with my own phrases. Hubby and I know that we will never fall victim to pod people because there is no way they could recreate any sort of speech pattern / conversation skills that go on in our household at any given time.

Edited: FEEL  BETTER! No sickness during Fairy Time, it's against the rules.

 

[tweakabell]

Fairy Godmother, you're so patient with me! The dreamlist is up. I in no way expect/require anything on there /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :lol:

Ah, that's a good idea! Thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

Although.. my list is already pretty darn extensive. 

I sincerely hope my fairy godmother doesn't feel like she needs to buy anything specific off of my list. It's more of a list of things I've been looking at, to get an idea of what I like. 

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

i'm having a hard time creeping...how do you see everyone's posts? i can only see like the most recent 5 or so.

I had to have @@tweakabell show me how to do this!

Click on 'find content' when you're in their profile. Make sure you have 'forums' and 'only posts' checked on the left. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA: I guess it limits you to 1000 posts. Sorry you won't be able to see my other 1697, Fairy Godmother! I'm sure they're a joy to read. 

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Ah, TGIF! 

I'm going home, having a margarita, and doing some Fairy Godmother shopping! I don't care if it's 7 AM.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hope you all have a lovely Friday!
