I'm a little concerned about the weather here- I live up on a mountain and UPS and fedex won't come up here when the weather is poop, which is often currently. The way things seem to work over here is that everyone just *knows* where packages go and where to get them....and no one tells us. I think there is some old school or something I've heard ups leaves things at...I don't know. Hopefully it'll say on the tracking, or my stuff will just be sent via the PO- cause then at least I know where to find it! Either way- my girl WILL get ALL of the goodies. I swears it. Come hell or high water, ...or...layers of mud under layers of snow on a mountain battling my minivan of doom.

I mean this in the best way. I cannot picture you in a minivan.

I think this is a great idea! I can be an elf if anyone needs one

I take that as a very high compliment, lol. Wanna see what I drove from age 17-23?
This bad boy:
 


Yep. For about a year, the back tire wobbled, making for all sort of fun driving adventures! The trunk was held closed (Well, it didn't actually close, but I got it as close to closed as I could) with a shoestring, and then some jerk cut it :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So I upgraded to Velcro! Above that tire and the gas tanky thing, I sawed off part of the body so I could drive/fill the tank. It sounded like a singing whale as I drove, as it was technically totaled (so my mechanic brother says) and the trunk moving would cause the sounds and additional creaking. Also- that's the light of a trailor that is rigged to the back, as the original one obviously was no longer functional. Oh...and that back door didn't open....I didn't want it  to open, since ...well, the trunk at one point wouldn't open after the crash, and you can see how well it went when it DID open, lol.
I drew all up on the inside dash everywhere...one perk to not having to worry about the resell value of your car anymore haha.
Points for style and creativity, if I do say so myself.

And yes, that's a skydive spaceland sticker, I had 3 on there at one point, along with my rainbow gay-pride/equal rights bumper sticker (Keep in mind, I lived in the not-so-tolerant part of texas.) lol. I'm a bag of adventures, I am.

 
My final SS package came today! I almost have everything wrapped up and ready to go, but I will still wait until early next week to send if off- in case I find anything this weekend I want to add to the package 

 
Dear Sweet SS, Let me first start by saying that I love you and thank you! I know I haven't received my package yet but I just want you to know that I appreciate all of your hard work and for thinking about me at all. I also realize that we have never met and that might make this difficult but I feel as if this will create an amazing bond between us. That might sound completely cheesy but whatever, I am being honest. Also, I hope that you enjoyed shopping for me, that it wasn't too hard to read for my biography wishlist and profile, and just know that whatever you get me, I am going to be forever thankful for. -Ace OUT!

I totally just teared up reading this..
 
[@]Tiffany27la[/@] awwwww, sweetheart, that was totally not my intention. I just really want my SS to know how appreciated they are. I'm definitely going to cry when I get my box. I didn't think this would be my only present this year, but I don't really care. I'm so happy to share the joy with all of you and it's incredibly touching that others have put so much of their time into making someone else's day. This has been an amazing experience thus far and I look forward to seeing everyone's reveals.

Me too.  That's why I'm sending kleenex to my santee and just opened a new kleenex box here.

I know I'm way over the limit, but I just love to give and I really want to make her happy...you never know, maybe this is the only gift she'll get this year or something). But this morning, I got an email as a "reminder" about my cart...I'm pretty sure I checked out all the way through a while back...

Now I gotta check cause I know I went through the credit info and shipping options...ugh. Frustrating since it should be already on its way...I don't want to make my girl wait! At least if the gift does get sent a little later, I know I'm not the only one that had to delay shipping.                :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />    Hopefully it's a glitch on their part.

haha - It won't be the only gift I get but it will be the best surprise. I buy my own from the family and my husband as official gift buyer in the house and last year my inlaws got me... one of those fake rocks you put in the yard to keep spare keys in. It was weird. I don't lose my keys.

 
Today was just not my day, so while I was running errands and picking up packaging for my SS gift I came across this:



How did I not know a Hello Kitty Snuggie existed?!!!  This totally perked up my night!  And I was good and only bought blah things like groceries despite lusting over that dang Maybelline elixir mascara with the clear top and silver base (I am fasinated by the fact you can see the whole lipstick throuhg the tube!) and the Sally Hansen ombre set which was pink and only $5.

Gah!  I WANT THIS!  Between my obsession with everything Sanrio and my love of polarfleece, this is MADE FOR ME.

Golly, it looks like I'll be stopping at Walgreens on my way home from work tomorrow.  I wonder how that happened.

(I also wonder how this evening has felt at least two hours later than it actually is ever since i got home from work.  I was *sure* it was after 9pm a couple of hours ago, and it was barely 6:30.  Screw it.  I'm going to bed.  If I wake up early enough, I may even stop at Walgreens on the way *to* work.  I take the bus, so stopping somewhere on the way to work is usually out of the question, but I frequently stop on the way home depending on which bus I end up catching.)

I'm not a Hello Kitty fan, but I was at Walgreen's yesterday eyeing up the blue Sally Hanson ombre set!

I can never stop anywhere on the way to work or home from work because I take my two puppies to work with me. The only errand I will run is to get gas with them in the car.

They are such a great deal at $5!  I have never tried Sally Hansen polishes so I have a feeling I will pick them up!  If you get the blue let me know how you like it!

Ugh that is the worst!  This getting pitch midnight black at 5:30 thing is not cool!  The best thing about Walgreens (the one by me but I think most in general) is they are open 24/7.  I had a last minute urge to make pumpkin cheesecake for Thursday so I may venture back out tonight to pick up ingredients and if my car happens to go to Walgreens and I happen to get a HK snuggie then so be it!
