I'm the same way! I have my wish page but it's still empty. I can't figure out what to write and I hate asking for things.

I've been putting it off but today I needed a happy distraction, my husband's vacation ended and he flew back overseas today

Sorry to hear that

Must.Stop.Shopping!  Ran to World Market at lunch just to "browse" and ended up with a bag of extras for my santees.  Oops!

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?
What a lucky gal! She's gonna be so thrilled /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />


Ugh...After I had my second kid it's like my hormone-emotions never went normal- I'll cry at like, McDonald's commercials. And damn those starving children/ASPCA commercials. I just wanna help all of the little kids and puppies

And since I'm so see-through casper white, my crying (or any emotion face) entails me turning beet-red. It ain't cute. lol

Where were you guys when I was growing up?!  I think if I had had a group like this to relate to my teen years would have been sooooooo much better.  LOL.

Same here, you know how Macy's does the family dinner commercial with all the celebrities? I cry every time. I also cannot watch the movie brave without crying the ENTIRE time. It's funny to me because my mom used to always get mad and say I had no soul because I would never cry about anything. I can count on one hand how many times I cried between the ages of 5-17. Now I cry constantly, I blame my 3 year old.

That's exactly how I was until I was 18ish.  Never cried.  Now, it happens for all sorts of reasons.  Wish I had a child to blame ;-)

 

[slinka]

Lol, what's the most hilarious, is that I'm covered in not-so-feminine tattoos and have a lot of piercings. I don't *look* like I'd cry at a father and son playing with water guns on a commercial...but alas.... =p

AHH. Same. The spotlight the news did on BatKid? Cried. That buzzfeed where they showed gifs of members of the military coming home? Cried while eating a sandwich in a very public space right before a test. I don't have a kid to blame, I think college turned me into a cryer.

I am totally done shopping everything is wrapped packed and ready to go. My actuall cost was about 40-50 plus I used about 60 is credit and gc's. I was really depressed yesterday and self medicated with shopping. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My dear Secret Santee:

My boyfriend saw the piles of samples and other applicable goodies that I have set aside in our apartment for you. He has since decided that you will also need coffee and other treats from Starbucks. I really hope you have a nice mail carrier because this box is gonna be bulky!

PS. If anyone needs an elf on the shelf , just hit me up. Everyone knows that MUT is 100x more fun than writing a paper.

This was me!  I never cried as a tween/teenager.  The while I was pregnant with my DD, I would cry at everything!  It never went away and now DD is almost 17!

Would you please ask your boyfriend if he can snag some of those yummy caramel brulee nuggets and send some my way. I would just shake the container into my mouth!!

I can't wait to wrap all of the presents once they get here! Are you mailing yours out soon then or are you going to wait until time gets closer?

Just placed an order with Ulta for my SS and my nail SS!  The order pushed me over 2,000 reward points!

@usofjessamerica don't even remind me of that paper I have due this week. 

@KellyKaye that picture pretty much sums it up!

However, I do believe that @slinka and I might have the same problem with turning red when mad crying. I hate fighting in general because of my stress levels. My old boss at work had pissed e off one day that I had to go to my office because I was mad and crying. And i know I turn red to where people ask me if I feel ok.

By the way, i still love hearing about everyones shopping experiences!

HEHE, my hubby is the same way. I told him the price limit when he was here he looked me in the eye and said we can do better than that and then let me torture him with billions of products on multiple websites.
