Hahaha she actually commented on my twos also but didn't go so far as to show me how to make them. I make my fours just like on the keyboard (4) but apparently it's supposed to be open at the top, not closed/pointed. And I make my twos like on a keyboard too (2) but I guess they're supposed to be like how you do them, as cursive qs. 

It's just so weird. Like, I've been writing like this since I learned how to write! And I'm sure there are people who try to mail things with much messier handwriting than mine hahaha And yet, she chose to make a huge deal out of my numbers. Whatever, post office lady!

I've actually gotten scolded about my 4's, too! I used to make them the way they look when typed - triangular on top. After getting hassled, I trained myself to make them the open-topped way.
Hahaha glad I'm not alone! I refuse to change my handwriting all together, but I will make them 'correctly' on my letters from now on.

  I'm getting so antsy to ship that I kind of wish I hadn't placed another order, haha...but all the the wrapping finally has me in a Christmassy mood! Tomorrow is my day off and I fully intend to spend it watching the first two Home Alone movies, Elf, and Christmas Vacation, while drinking hot chocolate and wearing ugly sweater socks. Yesssss. <3
Best. Day. Ever!

See, I make my 2s like that they are on the keyboard, too, and like I said, I did that with 4s, too. Obviously we are RIGHT, here!

 
Speaking of Ugly Sweater socks, I got these and I am so obsessed with them...I may or may not have gotten something similar (but very different) for my SS. Nothing says christmas like ugly sweaters :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine was a teacher, she griped that my 4s looked too much like 9s, and the class was a whole semester, so I retrained myself. Now, I catch myself writing both kinds of 4s!

Same here, but I have serial killer hand writing awful awful hand writing poor SS prob won't be able to read her stuff. On a happier note my dough is chilling finally. hubby says just buy it this year but I've spent SOO much this past month I really shouldn't

 
I keep finding more things I want to buy for my lady! But the fact that the box is already taped and decorated sort of helps.

...although I'm seriously contemplating sending a second mini box along with it. 

 
That didn't prevent me from sneaking one last thing in mine. But that's it it's full I'm not opening it again and it will be sent out tomorrow.

 
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile; My aunt got hit by a car and has been in a coma and sadly she passed away today, so life has been kind of...yeah, not the same the past week.. Dear SS, I'm sorry I haven't mailed out your package but I promise it will go out soon! To answer the two questions I saw; My favorite Disney princess is Snow White, and I'm allergic to Blueberries.

Soooo sorry for your loss.
 
Anyone else looking forward to stalking their SS after they get their gift? I can't wait to see if my SS was someone I suspected and if not I am planning on going back and reading their posts. It's funny, I think every post is my SS, so I can't wait to see who it is!!!! To my SS- I will totally love my gift and don't worry about making the wrapping perfect. Some of us are awesome wrappers (I'm looking at you Tiffany) and some of us aren't but I know we are all an awesome group of gals and will appreciate the time and thought involved in this entire process. I'm glad Christmas is after this, otherwise I would feel totally let down when MUT SS is done. Have a great Monday everyone!!

 
Wait until January. That's when a lot of places have their "Home Sales". If you're not picky about color, Boston Store (or whatever it's equivalent is in your area. Idk why they had to give themselves different names for different parts of the country...) had a white KitchenAid mixer for $120 if I recall correctly. Target, Macys, and JCP also had pretty good home sales. They usually happen toward the end of January.

Just in case anyone is still shopping for their SS and they have "Yes to..." products on their list, Yes To is having a Cyber Monday sale, everything is $2 for 2 hours between 12 and 2 pm (EST).  From what I can tell, it's single items only, no sets, shipping is a flat $5 unless you decide to go crazy and get 25 items, as they have free shipping over $50!

maybe everyone in my family will get cucumber wipes for Christmas.

oh man.. I gotta stop. I also gotta unsub from the Black Friday/Cyber Monday thread. I wonder how long I can withstand making a purchase today?

 
I had to laugh at the talk about being scared to peek at presents as a kid.  I have 6 kids & they know better.  In fact, I tell them straight out "All of your presents are in THIS closet!  Do not go in there, do not peek, if I catch or hear of any of you in there, every single present will go back to the store from whence it came & you will NOT receive that item as a gift."  Has it happened?  Yes, once.  My oldest got caught a few years back.  Has it ever happened again?  Nope.  Not once.  My kids want their presents.  My oldest is the very best at keeping her younger siblings out because she has been through it & doesn't want it to happen to her again or to any of her brothers or sisters.  I LOVE IT.

My kids each get 3 gifts for Christmas.  Baby Jesus got 3 gifts for Christmas & they won't get any more than he did.  (It's my way of keeping the true spirit of Christmas alive as well as keeping the pocketbook happy).  They each get one "want" gift, one "need" gift, & one "spiritual/church" gift.  You'd think they'd hate that, but just the other day my 6 year old told me "Hey Mom, I could REALLY use an umbrella for standing at the bus stop."  Another said "Mom, I really NEED some rain boots."   ha ha ha.  They know me well.  Then when I wrap their gifts I do NOT put their names on them.  I come up with a family theme (Christmas carols, reindeer names, Christmas treats, etc.) & put those on the presents.  For example. . . . this is Prancer's gift & that is Blitzen's gift.  The kids don't find out what their "name" is until Christmas morning.  It also helps with them not snooping.  

I'm running out of ideas for theme names.  What should I do this year?  I've done reindeer names, Christmas treats (fudge, cookies, hot cocoa, etc.), Christmas Carols, Christmas figures (santa, rudolph, frosty, jack frost, etc.). . . . several times now.  I want something new.  Any ideas from my very inventive & imaginative ladies out there?
