Ha, so I finally got home from getting my dog from daycare and eating dinner to find out that our power went out, and its only JUST come back on! It's been torture b/c I've been waiting to post my reveal ALL day! 

It's late on the East Coast but I'm posting my reveal post now :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Glad you are safe and sound!  I was like "wait what happened to @@latinafeminista 's reveal?"

 
Successfully purchased a small extra from Faneuil hall yesterday. For my FGC. Now all I need are extras from my town and the box will be ready to ship!

I can't believe there have been so many reveals so far, and they have all been amazing! Great job ladies, you're the best!

 
Happy summer solstice, everyone!  Does anyone have any particular Things they do on this day?

Mine:  Of all things to do, I listen to Jane's Addiction's album _Riutal de lo Habitual_ straight through, beginning to end, with no skipping, repeat, or interruption.  After the first run through, then I can skip/shuffle/repeat as desired.  I have no clue why, but a couple of years ago, I realized I did that more or less *every single year*, and it moved from something more or less that turned out to just *happen* to a flat-out *requirement*.

(Today after I finish my first listen, I'm going to go get waxed -- lip and chin -- and then maybe get a haircut, and then I have a long list of errands to run that keep getting pushed off to a non-rent check payday weekend.  This is that weekend!)

 
Loved the reveals from this week, and I'm glad everything isn't going out at once, so that the reveal fun lasts longer!

Had a crazy week traveling for work this week (I was prepared for the possibility of tornadoes in Oklahoma, but did not realize that earthquakes were also a possibility -- until I was woken up by one!).  I'd planned to work on my craft, but realized when I was packing that I didn't have a critical piece of equipment.  But I can take care of that this weekend or next).

So, to my dear FGD -- I've bought the items I'm going to buy, but want to get your other item made and wrap everything up carefully.  So it will probably be 4th of July weekend before it gets in the mail.  I hope the wait is worth it to you!

@tweakabell -- hope everything went OK with the deposition.  LOVE the new avatar pic.

Thx, sweetie. The deposition and mediation went well, we settled on Tues. Annoying to see 1/3 of it go to lawyers but it's over and done with and I didn't have to deal with the ins. once we hired him (They were extremely rude and condescending). I don't believe I ended up getting there and back in less than a week though, I'm pretty dead, honestly but life doesn't pause when you're tired unfortunately. It's nice to be home though, I'm enjoying the reveals and relaxing :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I bought wrapping stuff today!  Warning to my summer exchange recipients in the whole Secret Santa subforum (this will probably end up extending to the winter ones as well):  Do not open these packages in direct sunlight.  The contents will not be damaged, but your retinas might not fare so well.

 
Finished all my wedding invites today, so will be dropping them off at te post office tomorrow. Which means, I can finally steer wrapping my gift! Hoping to send it by Friday

 
Hi! So I've been super absent for about a week now, but it's a good thing because I got a new job!!!

I'm so excited, it's for a really great company doing exactly what I want to do, but also really sad because I've been at my current company since I graduated from college and I just love everyone here so much. So it's been a crazy week wrapping stuff up at my current job, and I haven't been on MUT at all ... 

I'm not the best at posting often here, and normally I'd be too shy to share news like this with you guys, but I felt that I needed to share this with everyone here because since I'm switching jobs I'm taking some super last minute summer trips between jobs and I wanted my FGM to know about them! I'll be gone this Thursday until next Tuesday and then next Thursday through Sunday. My roommates will be home, so if my package arrives then it'll be okay, but it might not get opened for a few days!

Don't be shy!!  That is fantastic and the type of news that makes us all smile!  :luv:

 
Congratulations @@pooteeweet213!  New jobs are always exciting.   Guess what FGC?!  I just have to get your wrapping paper and I am done.  You will get your gift this week.  My daughter says if you don't like it, she will take it off your hands, lol.  She has been at it the whole time, lol.  I am definitely making her a box for her birthday and I will even send it in the mail as a surprise.  She is easy stalking, lol.

 
I wanna go home now! It looks like I have SIX (maybe seven, but I'm not trusting Mugler Addict in their claim that my spring box is on its way) packages waiting for me right now, and half of them have things for my exchange recipients!

 
The logical solution, of course, is to quit your job so you can go swim in packages

 
Nah, I have to stick around at least for another week to plot my revenge against at the coworker who is in the middle of a two-week vacation.

 
Take out all the stuff from the boxes, wrap them nicely, and stack them at your co-worker's desk so it looks like they have a bunch of presents. Then, when they return all fresh and happy from vaca, they see a bunch of presents!!! But then, they open them, and BOOM. Nothing but emptiness and broken dreams. At that point feel free to walk by with the last of the coffee and snarkily welcome them back to work.
