*THUD*
My husband had never seen this movie before we got married. He finally asked me why I said inconceivable weirdly and I had to introduce him to it. I grew up with it, it blew my mind that he had no idea what it was.

I then told him it was for my secret santa, "WHY DO YOU HAVE A SECRET SANTA?! WHY. WHO IS IT. DO I KNOW THEM. WHY DON'T I KNOW THEM. THAT'S DUMB ". Boys... they just don't understand. I'm jealous of the ladies on here who have men that are helping them shop! 
This is why I wait to grab my packages until the man plays video games. Then I take them into the bathroom and lock the door for about 20 minutes. In this time I successfully unwrap everything very quiet like, I stuff it into old tupperware containers under the sink, flatten the boxes and slip them into the garage. I am so like a cat! Or a faceless man of braavos. I'm so slick.


I'm in awe of your skilz. I do the sneak up to the bedroom after work ("Honey, I'm going to change my clothes now!") and try to hide the boxes under the bed. My dog loves to chew on cardboard boxes though, so she usually rats me out.

Thank you, thank you! It wasn't a very hard skill to master, I just had to figure out the timing. You should get one of the under the bed tupperware containers and stuff that with a layer of clothes and leave enough room for a couple flat boxes at a time. Then your dog can't chew on them.

This literally made me laugh out loud. I need your skills. Seriously though, I really do. My bf is totally oblivious to EVERYTHING, except me getting mail. He also thinks my subscription box addiction is insane.

Aaaahhhh! I have that exact same face staring up at me right now! Your Henry and my Maddie could be twins! Aren't long haired doxies the best??

They are! Henry ( we call him damaged goods) came from an abusive home. He's an angel and I'm thankful everyday that he's a part of our family. We have a golden retriever and a bloodhound as well and he puts them in their place! He's not scurred of the big boys /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Aww, so happy for him (and you!) that you rescued him. My favorite thing about dachshunds is how they have absolutely no idea that they are actually quite small. They have such big barks too! We actually have three and they have scared many a pizza delivery man almost off our porch with the commotion. That is, until we open the door and they see the three of them, not a one over a foot tall!

My grandmother has had long-haired doxies named Taffy for as long as I can remember, and that's well over thirty-five years!  One leaves her life, and another one comes in, and, yes, they have all been named Taffy.  Sadly, the current one may need a new home.  It looks like Grandma might be moving to a facility where she won't be able to take her dog.

*THUD*
That would be my other favorite movie 

Absolutely!  It's one of the (very few!) movies I can watch again and again.  SO many classic lines!

That must have been so much fun watching it with him!  I got to show "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" to a friend of mine in college for her first time.  Then we made some coconut hooves and went running around our dorm annoying everyone.  BEST DAY EVER.

Good mail day today!  3 trades and a BB box with SS gift in it! (any some stuff for me too!)
I was a good SS last year and posted pics of what I got.   I took pictues in phases.  Box, open box, presents laid out, then opened!
Loving all the love and hand made creative craftiness!  Also love that I was able to eliminate who is not my Santa so only 103 people to go!

Momma to a long haired doxie too! She's my baby. Seriously Molly brings me so much love & joy! I've seriously considered just having dogs the rest of my life instead of having kids

 

[JHP07]

I bought 2 items for my SS today!

I bought 2 items for my SS today!   :santa:

I'm so excited for the reveals! Everyone is so excited and it's making me more hyped up. Who even needs caffeine?!?!?

 

[farrah3]

Wow, I go away for 2 days & the board explodes with posts.

I think I missed these questions, so here you go:

Shoe size:

7 1/2-8 depending on the shoe

Do i have a tub/want tub stuff:

Yes please!

Do you like to watch and/or play any sports?
My hubby & I both went to Penn State, so we are huge fans.  Also, Steelers fans.

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

I love to read.  Currently reading "The 36 hour day".  My mom was just diagnosed with Alzheimers, so it's been my main reading topic lately.  Also love biographies and historical books.  True life stories, true crime, non-fiction for the most part.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Italy & Vatican City.  I also love islands & tropical places.  I would also love to visit Trinidad & Tobago.

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention my top two christmas faves: The Muppets Christmas Carol and White Christmas!

 

[lioness90]

A Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite Christmas movie! Christmas isn't the same if I don't see it at least once.

 

[tnorth1852]

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention my top two christmas faves: The Muppets Christmas Carol and White Christmas!

And unless I've just missed it, no one has mentioned only the best Christmas movie ever.... Christmas Vacation!! "The shitter was full!!" Or the second best Christmas movie... A Christmas Story!

 

[Kristine Walker]

 Fave Christmas movies are "A Christmas Story" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".  I am praying my lady is gonna like the things I'm getting her, so nervous!
