I use mine all the time!  Definitely my most used appliance.

It's so weird! I feel all private and paranoid about all of my internet things...MUT, my blog, tumblr...and it isn't like I'm doing anything scandalous! Maybe I just view it mentally as my "me time" and it feels weird to have someone look into it??

I am the same way! I hate it. It makes me have so much anxiety. I got rid of facebook in 2011, just felt like my life was too public and facebook was starting to get creepy with newsfeed. I do have Instagram and Twitter (never use it) but that's it now. I'm weird about my phone too. I have a pass code lock on it and won't even let my husband know the code. I don't have anything scandalous that I'm hiding, but I feel like my phone is like the equivalent of how some people have a diary. I just don't like having anyone look through my things. I guess I'm weird. But I feel like everyone is so PUBLIC with their whole lives now, I just need one private thing to have as my own. Lol

Lol mmhmm...I mean, I have a Facebook and Instagram that all of my family and friends are on, and to me, that's different for some reason. But I'm the same way with my phone and computer!

Maybe it's that I don't need anyone rifling through my phone and seeing that I have like 1000+ pictures of my cats! Lol. I don't need to be judged for being a crazy cat lady. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
I left Facebook and an am way happier. I have an account now, but under a different name and I only use it for nail polish and beauty stuff. The only person, like family or friend, that knows about it is my husband, and I'm not even his friend on Facebook. People just pissed me off all the time and I always felt worse after being on Facebook. Now it's like an extension of MuT so I enjoy it again.

I so feel you on this, I'm contemplating deleting my account at the first of the year. I hate seeing people post their drama and crap or involving me in their issues.

 
I'm going to Nordstrom Rack tonight to see if I can score any deals for my Secret Santa...*crossing my fingers that I find some new/intact (i.e. not opened, not swatched) goodies*

 
Now that I am done shopping and everything has finally come in, I'm getting ready to wrap and  I'm worried that my santee already bought some of this stuff....  or will not like any of it....  sigh  gifting anxiety....

I get that all the time. I hate it. I'm so sure of things when I buy them then the longer I have them the more I go maybe they won't like it.

 
Dear lovely SS,  

If I don't respond about my gift ASAP, don't worry! It's just because I haven't been to my home yet. I often go from my familys home (to which all my mail goes) to my fiance's family home when I have to work. So usually I'll be home Tuesday/Wednesday and Saturdays/Sundays. I WILL be posting as soon as it its in my hands. 

 
Dear SSantee - I had to tape up your box and stick a label on it. I kept fidgeting with everything and I have to stop. It'll be getting there soonish! Xoxox JP

STOP IT!! I've noticed that everyone on this thread has been thrilled to receive their gifts, you have given a lot thought to the gifts you are sending a person you've never met based on what you've learned from them based on a wish list, a Santa questionnaire and their posts... I am sure they are going to be thrilled that you took the time to do something special just for term. I'm really happy that I chose to participate this year, the entire experience has been lovely. Has anyone else noticed the wonderful sense of generosity and gratitude on these threads? I would adopt half of you for the holidays next year - just to have the fun of picking out things to match the personalities I have imagined you have.

Not a bad idea. I'd rather spend my time on here anyways. I especially like the facebook posters that have to tell everyone how much they spend on everything.

I have ignored my Facebook account for over a year - my close friends are all well trained and respect my DRAMA FREE ZONE - but the collateral friendships with Mundanes and narrow minded self appointed judges on how others should live their lives annoyed me so I logged out and haven't been back.
 
Very much enjoying the fun of this. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't get online to chat often, but I peek online daily to see what's going on! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm enjoying the reveals! You are all so sweet and generous. I can't wait to see my SS open her gift!

 
Oh no! I was bad and I bought things off of my own list (one of the FAB kits - ultra repair concentrate, eye thingy with a roller, and the radiance pads and I got the bold half of the UD set but that's it - I swear!)... I definitely have stockpiling issues though so if my SS happened to give me a spare of anything I wouldn't be upset!

Same here...I wouldn't be upset with any dupes - especially because it would be my fault in the first place since I didn't wait. The more, the merrier though - but thats just my hoarding tendencies.

Hoarders for life. Everything else in life I'm very minimal. Beauty products and books I can never have enough.
