(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[Jamie P]

Well my shopping trip for the day was called off. Work is calling me in on my day off, so I've spent my entire morning working on my RESUME!!!! I'm so tired of retail. Guess my shopping will happen tomorrow instead. Wish me luck on finding a better position!!!

  Is it wrong that I buy kinderggs for myself all the time? In my defense my cat really loves the yellow eggs that hold the toys. I also love all those things you mentioned and also maultaschen and spaetzle.  The hubby and I always wonder if we will find substitutes for them once we move to the states.  Its so nice to find ladies with similar experiences on here.
I just made spaetzle last week!

I have an AWWWEEESOME idea for my SS package and I really want to share but I don't want to ruin the surprise! I think I'm going to wrap next weekend over my thanksgiving break and mail it out on Dec. 1 -- so long as I get a mall run and target or something in between now and then. I want to wrap them all now but I have so much homework to do between now and then!

Sorry your shopping was called off.  I used to hate being on-call!  Best of luck with finding a new position!

What are cheese curds? I'm imagining cheetos puffs but I'm assuming I'm wrong... lol 

I found more questions to answer for my SS::

Shoe size: 8 W or 8.5

Do i have a tub/want tub stuff:

Yes

Do you like to watch and/or play any sports?
I don't watch any sports. Maybe once in a blue moon I will actively participate in one, but if you've seen me run or catch things with my face... it's universally agreed upon that projectiles and Jane are not friends. lol

Do you like to read? If so, what kind of books/magazines do you like you read?

I love reading! Mostly it's from the YA or JUV Fiction section but I love chic lit too. I love epic story lines, or light hearted rom com stories, or seeing characters overcome challenges and triumph over evil!!! Right now I'm reading House of Hades by Rick Riordan.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I want to see everything and go everywhere. I want to see northern lights, I want to see Italy and Greece, England, Japan, China, New Zealand, Hawaii, Australia, Portland, LA, New Orleans, etc.

I'm trying to figure out what job will let me go EVERYWHERE.

I finally caught up.. TWENTY pages ladies /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  You all are awesome.

I also went to Starbucks to pick up mugs- my roommate works there and she helped me pick up a few things at a bargain level.. so, be prepared SS- things to contain nice hot drinks are headed your way!  My Sephora order is coming in, and I'm so very excited.  Of course, with this NARS blush I might have to make another order.. I want one so badly too.. hold off, just.. hold off.  My blush stash is amazing, but NARS.

You all were talking about New Glarus- I have a friend who went to UW-Madison and he's always like "oh it reminds me of New Glarus's... never mind.. you've never had it."  It's the worst taunt ever for someone who loves craft beer.. and I mean.. loves craft beer (and is about to start brewing soon!! *insert happy dance*)

Also, Chicago meetup?  Yes.  Please count me in.  My life is absolutely insane but I love getting coffee with people when my whirlwind-like life slows down for 2.5 seconds.

France! I am nearly fluent in French. I just love the culture and the languages and everything about the country. But honestly, I'd love to go anywhere in Europe.

Something very terrible almost happened today. I went to get new tires put on my car and apparently they tried to remove the valve caps and they are corroded onto the stems. Well, to get the stems replaced costs $215 each and all 4 need to be replaced. I almost started crying right then and there, but I called the Nissan dealer and they said they can replace them with standard stems and it will only be $5 each. I wanted to hug the girl over the phone, I'll probably hug her when I go in for my appointment on Monday. Thank God for that girl. Anyway, I am writing this because I was going to go get wrapping paper for my SS gifts but became such a nervous wreck that I wasn't even capable of driving anywhere (though I was already 30 minutes from home). But once I found out what the dealership could do I managed to have a few genius ideas and thus wound up buying my SS one more gift. I'm going to make custom notebooks for her. And by custom I mean, I bought standard mini notebooks and I'm going to add quotes on the front of each one.
