Edited to remove what I said. Don't want to ruin any surprises!

Getting so antsy to mail- but I can't as I'm still waiting on goodies. And can I just vent a little? I was born and raised in tx and literally never dealt with snow- not real snow (one time it sorta...powdered and stuck for like, ten minutes!). I'm in Utah now- and there is easily a foot of snow that happened in like, 4 hours. My minivan of doom can't get up my driveway! I'm pretty sure I can't get my daughter from her bus stop (beginning of our "community"- so a little bit of a drive from the house) so I'm hoping my husband can drive all the way up here in the 4-wheel-drive and get her ...and then go back to work. Lame. Also- and I get it and don't blame them at all- but FedEx and ups can't come up here because of the stupid snow so they are leaving my stuff (and my santees stuff!) somewhere down the mountain. I certainly hope I find it/it's ok/I can dig my van out of the snow to actually go get it soon. Ugh. In summary, kcuf snow!

Wow. Just wow. What a pain!

This Texas girl would be calling husband to go get daughter too. That sounds miserable!

And this is just one of the plethora of reasons I HATE snow and told my husband I never want to live farther north then we do right now.  Today it is 65 and tomorrow will be 70.

Not to mention I had FINALLY perfected my skin routine in old extremely hot and humid tx. Well guess why my skin is doing now? If you guessed "freaking out and not accepting anything I do as a cure for what's ailing it" you'd be correct! Ugh. This transition into getting used to cold/snow/wind/dry climate suckssss.

Lol. I secretly wanted a ss from Louisiana- to send me a book on voodoo and some Cajun food/spices =D

Mississippi girl here. It gets cold everyone once and awhile, but on Christmas last year it was 75 degrees. IF it snows it's usually slush and melts within the hour.

My friend sent me voodoo dolls when she went to NO. I loved it. I don't care if they were kitchy lil tourist things, it was so me.

 

[tweakabell]

OMG, I'm being taken over by boxes. Boxes leaving, boxes coming. Empty boxes, full boxes.

Haha, you and me both sister. I got her so much...I don't even wanna know how much it's gonna cost to ship! Oh well. Oh- and since there really wasn't anything "local" besides the Book of Mormon (isn't this state the beehive state or something? Idk) and I'm not really a native/local or anything here- I just got her some of the goodies that occur in my weirdo life lol. She might not like them- but I think she'll appreciate it and it definitely looks like things I'd send lol. In other news, we need to be friendsies so you can make me Louisiana food /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I shall send you kittens, love, rainbows and only the finest of wines. (Which you have to go to a liquor/specialty store to buy here- wtf Utah?!)

I wish my boxes were here taking over my life and not down that snowy mountain! I fear for their safety lol. I just want to cuddle them, and tell them everything's going to be ok.

I have my Winter Routine that I switch to as soon as the heater comes on - if I wait I look like the NeoVictorian love child of the CryptKeeper and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.  

Have you tried  Bobbi Brown's Tinted Moisturizing Balm?   Not the BB cream by the way which I think is crappy but the stuff that comes in a jar.

I have never tried any Bobbi brown (dunno why- I hear great things!) yeah I thought my skin was doing great with the change- but then BOOM. nope! Exfoliating and then layering moisture-rich serums and stuff ...just haven't found the magic combo yet. Ugh. I haven't been able to wear my foundation because of it (patchy dryness becomes very obvious) but thank goodness for my skin79 bb cream- it at least makes my skin look like its not trying to flake off in patches off of my face -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Haha! Tell me about it- I'm not even a drinker really- but the ONE time I want some wine/champagne I can't freaking buy it at a normal store? Ugh. Yay! Cooking friends /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and I agree with the "tease" comment, lol. Btw- I totally respect the black magic /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I loooove studying the occult and all things magic-y. It weirds people out, but I figure I've won over enough hearts here to keep making myself sound stranger lol.'cause you're all stuck with me now anyways! =p

ME, TOO! I'm totally into Astrology, Tarot...you name it! however, this does NOT sit well with most of my friends/family IRL...they're praying for me, though

I seriously have mad respect for organized religion, I just wish people understood that I'm really NOT a devil worshiper. aaand I think I've said too much. lol
