(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[KittenZ]

I'm almost done shopping! Lol! I've gotten most of the extras, and I know what her main gift is going to be! I'm so excited to ship it to her.

I wish I'd waited to place my order because I got more info and I now there are a couple more things I want to add...ahh...making myself wait until I get what I already ordered and see where I'm at...

Luckily my hubby is a sweetheart & puts a lot of thought into my Christmas gift every year. I meticulously shop, plan, wrap, etc for the gifts I buy. It makes it all so special for me. Last Christmas my 8 year old daughter saved up all her money & bought me a Mickey Mouse steering wheel cover for Christmas. It took me by surprise & I was sobbing most of the day because of it. I'm such a baby like that. I'm crying just thinking about getting my gift from my secret Santa. I've never gotten beauty products for Christmas before. It's going to be magical for me.
Awww that is so sweet of your 8 year old!  That story made me feel all warm and fuzzy like the holiday season.  I'm a crier too.  I used to think it was ridiculous but my boyfriend is a psychologist and pointed out that it means I'm really in touch with how I feel and am able to feel lots of emotions.  Sounds like many of you are in the same boat, and it makes Christmas and secret santa all the more magical for us!  I really like that so many of us don't get makeup gifts usually.  It's going to make whatever we get that much more special.

This keeps happening to me too...

Well...I've shopped in my mind. Lol.

I haven't had a day off work since we got assigned, and even though I work in a mall that's pretty much the Mecca of beauty shopping (Sephora, LUSH, Body Shop, L'Occitane, Kiehls, Origins, Aveda, MAC, Bare Minerals, so many more!) I haven't had any time yet. I feel like I can't leave my store to go look on my break because I may never come back! LOL.
Nope!  I am still doing a lot of planning in my head and filling online shopping carts.  I do not want to make a choice and then find something better the next day.

I am so excited to get makeup items as a gift. I have never gotten to this as a gift. I am anxious to see what my santee comes up with. I hoping for some extras. I think those are so fun.

I too am a cryer! Yesterday I cried because my 5 year old read an entire Dr. Seuss book to me, one that I would read to him when he was a baby. I have full on ugly cry when I hear "Somewhere over the Rainbow" by IZ, not because it was my wedding song, but because I would rock my baby boys to sleep with that song, and now they are older..I cry watching videos of two legged dogs, I cried when I got my SS assignment, I cry every time I go to Disney/Universal...Ugh, if I wore mascara it would most definitely need to be waterproof. I'm just so full of love, rainbows, and lollipops-hehe!!

Ok--I think we all need tissues in our boxes!  Big hug!

I got really excited and started to wonder "OMG which mall is this??!!" Then I realized my mall has those same exact stores. The grass is always greener, right?

I cry at happy things. This morning, I made the mistake of listening to a story about Batkid while walking to work. Flat-out bawling. Even just *thinking* about how the whole city pitched in is making me tear up right now.

I sometimes cry at movies, tv shows...but primarily, I cry when I'm mad. IT IS INFURIATING. Then I get more mad that I'm crying, and then I cry more...it's terrible...

This! I cry when I'm upset and it makes it very difficult in situations where I need a solution quickly.

That happens to me. I want to explain why I'm mad but I can't get words out because I'm crying.

I do this, and it makes me more mad!  People don't get that I am REALLY angry because I'm crying!

lol, I'm glad there are more of us out there!

It's the worst when you're fighting/arguing with someone, and you cry, and you KNOW they're thinking they won because they hurt your feelings, but you're like "YOU DIDN'T HURT ME, DAMNIT, YOU PISSED ME OFF!!" (I have 5 brothers...this happened ALL THE TIME when I was younger...)

Done. and Done. SS shopping complete. Well, except some extras. I don't know if I should laugh (at the uber quickness i completed this challenge with) or cry (because I have to stop shopping.) I get so carried away shopping for someone who loves makeup! Secret Santa is seriously making me high.... but it's going to be a total buzzkill when all the pretties show up and I have to tell myself they're not mine. Dang it, I knew I should've purchased two of everything!! But, my sweet santee, you are getting over half of alllllll the goodies on your wish list!! Budget? What budget?

THIS! People who know me will attest -- when I'm crying... someone better watch out because I'm FURIOUS. It's like I get so overwhelmed with anger that tears come out rather that words... maybe that's a good thing though. Because at that point, my tears are silent, but my words would be very audible, very vulgar, and probably downright mean. hahaha.
