Think Amazon Prime, but with your yearly payment you get free shipping on multiple sites.

I just want to hug your pup! Such a cute pic!

This. It's exactly what I was trying to say.

Also... the free trial for Shoprunner seems to last forever lol

I signed up for a free two week trial and when I went to cancel it, they extended it 3 months. Went to cancel that and they extended it another 3 months. I've had it since February-ish and I still haven't paid for it.

@ lol! no worries! Thanks & I'll have to check it out!

@@puppymomofthree Thank youuuuuuuuuu!! I just look at her & want to hug/kiss her all the time. She's my baby!

@@meaganola the crazy Yzma-quoter was me! She's my favorite Disney villain. I would love to be "proof that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth" and still able to attract a boy-toy like Kronk (love me some Kronk)!

And Yzma eyeshadow? Dang it I have got to start stalking the Shiro site like its my job! Googling for swatches now! Have fun rocking your villainess awesomeness at Maleficent tomorrow! :w00t:

 

[meaganola]

@ Ooh, she's a *villain*?  I haven't seen the movie (I wasn't even sure I had the from-a-movie part correct, and I thought she was a he and probably a sidekick), but I picked it up solely on SO SO PRETTY when I swatched it at live-action etsy last month.  (And someone *totally* needs to go to that with me the next time it happens in December!  It would have been *much* more fun with someone, but no one I know in RL was interested.)

@@meaganola it's one of my fave "non-princess" Disney movies! David Spade is the voice of an Aztec emperor, who through some hilarious hijinks gets transformed into a llama. The good news is, it's on Netflix Instant Watch! I was so happy the day Disney and Netflix announced their deal. Yzma is an awesome villain because she's a hilarious old biddy with tons of evil convoluted plots. And her voice was done by Eartha Kitt.

 

[meaganola]

@ Added to my Netflix queue! That's not the kind of movie I usually watch, but Eartha Kitt! I grew up on the old _Batman_ tv series!

Edited because @magicalmon?  Really, Meagan?

If anyone is stuck on what to get (colors, brands, scents, formulas), I highly recommend a consultation with a fairy!  Your FGC doesn't even need to be involved.  Were all experts in something and if you see a fairy posting about knowing their shiz about something your FGC likes, you just might get some great gift ideas from an insider /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   Big thanks to @@meaganola for helping me place an order for my FGC!!!

Yes this!  I had a consultation with a fairy about blush (something I know nothing about, as I do not use it).  This reminds me I need to PM a lip expert for some lippie advise.  I know a lot about lippies but this certain type I am not sure about!

Congrats on your first day of a new job!  How fun and exciting!

Thank you so much, it was a great day! It's basically my dream job so I'm feeling blessed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Emperors New Groove is one of the most quoted movies in our house! My kids love it, but my hubby & I super love it. We watch it after the kids go to bed even! Kronk is one of the best disney characters ever written! As I type this I have SO many quotes going through my head cracking me up.

"A llama? He's supposed to be dead ". "Yeah. . . Weird!"

"Kronk, pull the lever! Wrong lever! Why do we even have that lever?"

"Is that my voice? Is that my voice? Oh well."

(I know you read those quotes in Eartha Kitt's voice @ )

I guess I know what I'll be watching with the kiddos this afternoon. Let us know how you like it. It's really stupid humor for a disney movie, but I find it hilarious!

 

[tweakabell]

OOOH that sounds like a plan for this house today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just set up a HUGE swap to get a bunch of things for my FGC /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So excited! It's all stuff I was actually going to purchase and now I don't have to, plus I get to clear out my own stash a bit. 

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I just want to keep buying for my FGC, why is this so fun?

I'm having the same problem. It's dangerous to go into ANY store or go online at all. Since I can't stay away from both, I just keep shopping.

Been doing this too... It's a win-win!

This is why I had to send mine out immediately. Extra spending was just not in the budget and I have no self control lol.

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

@@meaganola I'd like to think that "magicalmon" is my Jamaican doppelgänger :smilehappyyes:

@@trekkersangel I DID!!! I yell "Wrong leveeeeeer!" Whenever the kids try the wrong light switch or pick up something other than what I asked for /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Me 3! I think I'm done spending but still wanted to get a few more things.  The wrapping part is going to take me the longest.

I was going to go to [redacted] to pick up some [redacted] for my FGC, but there was no parking (expected given the neighborhood), so I gave up and went home.  And then as I was driving back to my apartment, my landlord called to let me know that she had hired some guys to seal the driveway, and we can't park on it for a few hours, so I zipped home, watered the cats, packed up my alternate laptop, and came to my aunt's house early.  I go to her house on Sundays to watch _Game of Thrones_ because we're on the West Coast, but she has the East Coast HBO feed, so we get to watch it at 6pm!  Now she and Jeffrey (my downstairs neighbor and her best friend) are watching _Elementary_ (I've never seen a single episode) while I meander around MUT.

And _Maleficent_!  Loved it!  As soon as it ended, I turned to my friend and said, "That is *the* most feminist Disney film ever made."  I'm really glad I didn't read anything about it other than the fact that Rick Baker did the makeup.  I'm amused by the backstory behind using Angelina Jolie's daughter in one scene.  It actually was a really adorable scene.  My cold, dead heart melted just the teeniest bit.
