(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[Jac13]

I would like some UD eyeliners for $4. That's a good find. I don't use that brand but I am trying to get out of my comfort zone and try other quality brands.

OMG Ann Sathers!!! You must live in Chicago!! I miss that place. I haven't been since 2011, but I think about it all the time! Denver has great diner places too, but nothing compares to Ann Sathers!

Yes!!  Chicago forever /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  It's snowing today.  Now if I could only figure out how to ship a cinnamon roll...

The first time I ever saw the Hunger Games I was on a 10 hour trans-Atlantic flight. We had just been served dinner (Air France actually has pretty good food on board) so..I happily settled in and started the movie. Before I actually realized what was going on, I looked up and saw the flight attendant standing next to me with a very disapproving look on her face. Much to the dismay of those seated near me, ( or even 20 rows behind me), I was apparently being VERY vocal..lol She kindly reminded me that not all the passengers were enjoying the same film, and could I please lower my voice. She also asked me to release the arm of the gentleman seated next to me. Definitely one of the top 5 most embarrassing moments of my life. Needless to say, I was *very* into the movie lol

my hunger games story that might ruin your lunch or breakfast: 

Lol! I love this story. I saw the hunger games on my 21st birthday -- I think it was the first Saturday of its opening weekend? Anywho, we were allllll hung over and DYING during the first half hour (all handicam) and just trying not to get motion sickness. THEN some guy in one of the unfortunate too-close-to-the-screen just gets up and VOMITS like A LOT in the middle of the front aisle that separates the too-close-to-screen seats from the normal, elevated seats.   It was awful. I'm just grateful that it wasn't one of us who threw up. Lets be serious here.

GUYS. I spent so much money tonight. Nordstrom Rack had UD eyeliners for FOUR DOLLARS. They only had them in two colors but I obviously bought plenty. And I got their lip stain for four dollars, none of it had been touched! I checked! Also- Maybelline things and some Revlon things were on super sale at Walgreens. I went to Target and raided the dollar section too. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, maybe I'll be brave enough to brave Lush after that?

I'm excited to hear about Catching Fire!! I'm seeing it Monday!!
Did they have the vintage brow box too?? I want one!

The movie was GREAT!!! I caught the 8 show last night. I can't wait to three. I must get some cool Hunger Games stuff.

I really can't wait until the third one comes out. And man was Sam Claflin the perfect choice for Finnick?!

I still haven't seen it- but I made District shirts with the symbols last time for the first movie- I sold them on Etsy for a while but it's just not a thing I can do easily anymore.  I will forever love my D1 shirt /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (that's the district I got when I signed up for the thingy online.  I was a Vintner too, which seemed fitting.)  But I could probably find a picture and see if anyone still wants one?!  I know I still have a few of my stencils!

I'M THE ONE WHO KNOCKS.  Hahaha 

 

[elizabethrose]

@usofjessamerica I only saw one vintage brow box.. it was about $12?  I'll probably swing in on my lunch break and can see if they have any more!  And where are the Sephora black friday deals?!  I have been looking.. and looking... and keep seeing that sneak peeks are happening tomorrow?

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

@elizabethrose  they're on their FB  page! and someone linked to this too : http://www.seventeen.com/fashion/blog/black-friday-cyber-monday-sales

check out that UD! I want the lipsticks...but dont need all of them. what to do what to do.

 

[elizabethrose]

@usofjessamerica But I'm pretty sure I do need those UD lipsticks.. yes, definitely.

 

[heartsandwhimsy]

I'm hoping most people post their gifts as well. I think a lot of people read this thread but don't respond. That is definitely what i do. I love reading/seeing what's going on but don't really make the time to post so maybe that's what a lot of other people are doing as well. OT! Has anyone seen the ALice + Olivia Tumbler that Starbucks is currently selling. It is beyond adorable. Of course I need it and can't find it at any local starbucks. I was thinking of getting one for my SS too if I find it but I'm not sure if she'll like it or not!

That is freaking adorable and I can't imagine anyone not loving it! I'm already 8 pages behind on this thread.. it moves so fast! So I just got back from my first ss shoping trip and I'm already at $50 and haven't even bought the main gift yet!! I honestly didn't think I would be this over budget until I actually started shopping lol. I'm so excited though and really hope my girl enjoys her goodies!! OT but again I'm so far behind on this thread.. I lived in Germany for four years also! Haven't been back in years and I so miss it!

 

[Animezing]

Read Zadi's PM & I definitely don't want my SS to stress over shopping for me. I really do just want to try the things she loves. I could care less if it comes from the dollar store as long as she loves it, I'm game. Heck, I'd be happy if she sends me some Oreos -yumzi!

Lmao that guy must have been terrified.

 

[missemiee]

While we were in engaged, my husband and I were watching 16 and Pregnant.  This eight months pregnant girl was sitting on a bench on the phone with the father of her child.  They both had very strong southern accents.  One of them said to the other one, "You ain't nothing but a dang ole piece of crap."  Now, please don't judge us too harshly, but we both cracked up laughing so hard!  So, now we randomly say that to each other.  People who overhear our conversations must think we are nuts!  

And to that, Dale would say "you and your mom are HILLBILLIES!!" But he would yell whisper it. Lol

Something similar happened when we went to see Thor2 there were some young kids drinking across from us and needless to say it didn't end well. One of the kids had to get carried out by his buddies, the smell was awful.

The hubby just sent me the youtube video with that scene during his lunch break.  Whenever something happens I just yell "Better call Saul" or my favorites "Yeah Science" and "Yeah B***h"

That's how I felt when I went to Nordstrom Rack last weekend.  I've been debating going back all week!  

 

[chelsealady]

Went out at lunch and got a couple of extras for my giftee. 

 

[gemstone]

This actually made me projectile spit out the Diet coke I was trying very hard to swallow..TOO funny /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> You have a beautiful soul, Amanda...I've been contemplating getting in touch with my local homeless shelter because I'm sure they could use some extra help and support around the holidays, and reading your post has given me the push I needed to contact them...thank you for that... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My suggestion would be to volunteer after the new year! So many organizations have an abundance of volunteers and supplies because people are extra generous during the holidays, but lack the support they need the rest of the year! Remember that people are hungry and homeless year round, and shelters need the extra hands when it gets truly cold out!

Its so nice to find so many people who lived in Germany, where in Germany did you live?
