(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[LadyK]

My Mom was Christmas shopping and found one of the extras I was looking for for my SS.  She went a little overboard.  I think we're going to need a bigger boat  box.

 My schedule is just totally opposite of all of my friends who did stay in the area!

Maybe we can have a Chicago MUT meet up that actually comes to fruition one day (when I'm not studying or pretending to study)

ETA: I asked my boyfriend for a Chicago Date (we usually go when my family is visiting but that mostly includes parking it in chinatown and eating our weight in dim sum) - the last Chicago Date we had was in March! Then, the cold air outside reminded me that a Chicago Date might have to happen after the city freezes over..then thaws.
Totally! I tried to organize the last one, but it just didn't work out. I'd be game to try again, we just didn't have enough participation to make a go of it.

That's so funny you said that.  I literally filled a mini stocking with samples not even three hours ago!

I saw earlier a post of a brush holder from etsy. How do people on here feel about a homemade brush case? Possibly with a matching travel makeup bag?

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! -Jessica /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 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.

Aaahhhs that is really sweet. My daughter keeps asking me "who are these people?" Lol, she thinks I lost my mind. She will get it one day. But she says she thinks my SS will like it and she hopes I like mines. So far this has been lots of fun. It is an enjoyable distraction.

Totally thinking of doing this too! Hello Kitty! yay love when I know other girls like Hello Kitty other than me! 

Hello Kitty is the most adorable. You never grow out of it, IMO.

I think a homemade brush case would be amazing!  Makeup bag-Amazing! Haha I love presents! (and I totally checked out the Etsy seller who does the travel brush cases earlier! She is on vacation so an order will have to wait.  Le sigh)

So this just happened...

These are the things I was talking about, they're delicious. Thank goodness I started Insanity today 😒

Insanity is purely insane. I have the tapes but have yet to complete. I plan on trying from beginning after Thanksgiving.

I don't know what to doooooo.  Ahhhhhhhhh.  One big thing or a bunch of little stuff?  I'd rather wait and try to get stuff on sale.  I so wish I would have known while I could use the Sephora 20% code.  I keep hemming and hawing.  There are too many directions to go in, and they are all a little vague.

Someone cut me off. 

I can't stop SS shopping.

Love this idea.

I am so excited to shop for my secret Santee! My lady seems so sweet and I'm loving trying to figure out what to get/do for her. After a bad day it's great to get on this forum. Your excitement is contagious and it broke me out of my pity party tonight. Which is too bad because I was kinda enjoying it. ☺ï¸

I told a close male friend about MuT SS and he thought I was crazy. He was like "You gave a random stranger your address!?!" and "You spent how much?" I'm originally from Chicago - born and raised. I'm currently in a neighboring state that begins with an I. I've always been a loner. I have no kids and still don't have a social life. I need a cat to talk to. I'm thinking of moving to Nashville or Denver in the next year. I almost died doing the fit test. It was my first time working out in like 2 months. I paused the video 10 minutes in and was laying on the floor out of breath and about to cry. I finished the workout eventually. I wanna try it again.

I'm originally from Chicagoland, but have lived in Denver for 5 years. I loveeeee it here! There are a ton of Illinois people loving out here, it's nice to have that common bond. I miss parts of back home, like the ITALIAN food!! And of course my friends and what little family hasn't left and I miss how green everything is in the summer. But that's about it. Denver is great, I bought a house...so I'm here for the long haul. I won't be going back to the Midwest unless it's just to visit. You should definitely consider the move /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love this site soooo much!

I am also an angry crier. I had to deal with a coworker recently but I technically outrank him since I am part of the management team (keyholder) and I was really proud of myself that I didn't cry in front of him (only after he left) because he made me SO ANGRY. I can't deal with confrontation because it leads to tears. 

I really really really love Secret Santa because it's so much fun and I usually plan the one at our store every year, but I don't think I want to this year because I don't really like my new coworkers (is that mean?). Unless if someone else decides to plan it I guess.

I haven't had much interaction with my lady here, but I have a couple ideas up my sleeve, muahahahahaha!!!!!

I just laughed so hard, because I am in the same position...the last two years, I set up a secret santa on my shift...and I am NOT doing it this year, frankly because I don't like most of my coworkers enough, and I'd rather chew off my leg than buy something for most of them. Lmao....if you're mean, I'm mean.

My person is never on. I would love to have a some interaction with her. Later she can say hey I talked to her about this or that. Maybe she is like me sometimes I just read and make no comments and other times I am chatty katty.

I'm like this sometimes, I'm hoping I've interacted with my SS. Both of my SS hasn't been on that much but that's ok, I've been busy as well, shopping and procrastinating on studying >_<.

Is it horrible that this makes me nervous because..someone could potentially have me (or someone else) as their giftee & not even know it yet because they don't log on enough? I know there's still almost a month to mail them out and of course people are busy doing other things, but still!

I think as long as you're posting on here, that's considered interaction with you SS
