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

[MissRoe]

I was at a Cracker Barrel last night and saw so many tasty little treats and midnight fairy wing stuffers! I never would have thought to shop there..Seriously had to refrain myself...I was thinking "Ooh, I'm totally getting that for my "Secret Santa exchange"!

 

[MissRoe]

Random comment overheard at a food cart pod: "I don't know. I should just get my nipples pierced." In semi-related news, it's Cliff-era Metallica day at the Brunch Box! I wish I could hang out here for a while, but I have to get back to the office and get ready for half the department being gone next week.

Edited because semi-related *news*, not *days*.

THis is a kind of late response, it's been a busy week!

It makes me feel a little better to see other people having sleep issues (not that I don't wish you all slept well, lol)...I've been having the WORST time sleeping and it's driving me up a wall! I'll fall asleep fine, and then wake up a couple of hours later, unable to go back to sleep...so I end up feeling sluggish and unmotivated all day. So annoying. I assume it's mostly stress related (because the last few months have just been ridiculous for me), but it's also possible I'm just a mutant, or a robot.

I picked something up for my FGC today. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Want to do more shopping NOW, but, you know..budgeting and time and patience.

Insomniac from hell here. It sucks. It sucks so bad. *sluggish Internet hug* lol

I'm so sorry I've not been around much lately. my life has boon so crazy in a good way... and in some super crazy ways.  I think I've finished shopping for my FGC other then a few little goodies things.    My craft came out pretty awesome I just hope she likes it.  I just need to start pulling everything together and put all the little finishing touches on everything.   

To my FGM:  I'm going to be out of town from july 8-july 16th. so you can either mail it early if you are one of those ready to go and chomping at the bit. or you can wait.  There will be someone to bring my mail inside if it does come while I'm away.  (It will just drive me crazy knowing it is there waiting for me)

Is she not the cutest? We're at her mom's restaurant sitting on the patio drinking beer and having dessert. Vacation. She's so so sleepy from our walk though!

 

[tulosai]

Aright FGC, your gift is wrapped, packed and ready to go out tomorrow!! I am so excited for you to get it!

 

[puppymomofthree]

I am still waiting on some orders to come in...I had a little too much fun shopping!

I talked to my dad this morning.  He was NOT HAPPY at some news I had to break to him:  Tonight is the season finale of _Game of Thrones_.  I had no clue he watched it.

And now, the monsters are LOSING THEIR COLLECTIVE MIND (I'm pretty sure they share one betweent he two of them) playing with one of those stick/long strip of fleece/feather toy things.  It turns out Oscar can jump three four feet straight up in the air.

My cat plays a game where she jumps as high as she can, digs her claws into the doorframe and sees how long she can hang there before sliding down the doorframe. She likes to play this game first thing in the morning.

I just finished wrapping all my FGC's presents. I'm not sure when I'll mail it.

I did too! It's all wrapped up & ready to go, but I'm not sure when I'll send it. I could wait until the 7th like we are supposed to, but part of me wants to send it now. Or maybe I'll randomly send it & surprise my girl. Decisions decisions!

 

[Lolo22]

I wrapped mine too and made my homemade gift. I was all set to mail tomorrow and then I remembered I impulse bought something else last week online at ulta. So I have to wait for that now but I'll still be sending mine sometime this week since it already shipped. I can't wait to see more reveals /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />!!

I'm waiting on a BOOK. I praised the Amazon sellers to the skies, bought two books, one of them arrived swiftly, the other is somewhere in "cheapest USPS shipping hell". And now I have to wait the full 14 business days before I start getting all cranky. BUT, there was a tracking update today, AND I went ahead and ordered another copy of the book just in case! If I end up getting both, then I already have someone in mind to gift it to!

I should probably start wrapping the rest of the gifts, though, lol.

OMG yes a book I ordered on Amazon was the last thing to arrive for me too.  I also threw in a used book that I read recently.  She'll know which is the one I ordered special and which one is used because the used one has my fat cat's teeth marks on the cover from when he tried to see if it might be food. I'd prob should have ordered her a new copy of that one too

Haha he was just personalizing it for you!

I bought a nice new hardcover book (a compilation of two trade paperback compilations of a certain comic book) last year, got home, put the still-shrink-wrapped book on my couch, went into the kitchen to get something to drink, and returned to the living room to discover kitty teeth marks (it had to be my fat cat as well.  He's just a chewer in general  He doesn't care whether it's food or not.  One of his favorite things to gnaw on is a Swiffer handle) on it.  The book in question:  _Chew_.  I just had to laugh at that.  

(And one of my previous cats chomped the hell out a book as well.  I don't recall the exact name of that book, but I remember the appropriateness of that one as well:  It was a book on training cats.  It might have been _Cats for Dummies_.)
