There are other towels around, but he focuses on this one particular towel for some reason, and he wanders around the apartment very confused when it's in the laundry. The other cat targets plasticky reusable shopping bags like IKEA sells. He's uninterested in chewing towels.)
I keep calling Stormageddon the kitten, but he's a year and a couple months. I figure it's the equivalent of the terrible twos, he gets into everything, omg. We have to be really careful with metallic stretchy string otherwise he tries to chew. Same with cardboard. He even tries to eat the cardboard he scratches up from his nail scratcher. Eww. Yet he has tons of food and fresh water, and we watch him eat. He's also a drooler, but hey, at least if he drools on you, he gives you a bath until you're clean - lol!
My cat is 9 but I still call her kitty mostly because she still acts like one and she has a really long name (Princess Consuela Banana Hammock). She is weird and sometimes I even think she knows English. She is not attracted to plastic or boxes she likes to sit with us in the couch while we watch tv, likes to collect my jewelry and attempts to eat her wet food with her hands making a huge mess.

I totally get the hype now, and I definitely think I'll be ordering a few things. I can't wait to try my Cupcake mask tomorrow!
As for my gift, it looks like my final order will be in on Wednesday! So SS, your gift should be on its way by Friday and I am sorry for the delay! And for those who were worried about disappointing their Santee, I don't think that'll happen

I love the Ocean salt scrub!

I got my package yesterday & I'm still in tears over it. I don't think I've ever received anything so thought out in my life. (Goodness, & who wouldn't cry over receiving NAKED 3?). It was all so much more than I ever expected or deserved. The ladies on here are the best of the best. I am loving all the secret chit chat & the amazing reveals! You all truly are amazing people inside & out! Anyone is lucky to be anyone's Santee on this board.
To those who think their gifts aren't good enough, they totally are. Everyone loves getting mail! Especially surprise pretties! The thought that you all put into your gifts is truly magical & that's what this season is all about!
Thank you ALL for making this the most magical Christmas ever for me! You all are the best! And keep these reveals coming. Seeing everyone's goodies is what makes my day every day! I'm loving this!
Wow awesome gift! I have a feeling I am going to be in tears before I even open my gift just thinking someone took the time to pick out things for me and send them makes me all emotional.

They've taken 2 ekgs and didn't rush me back, so I'm crossing my fingers it's just a weird med reaction. My boyfriend is here with me and I have MUT to keep me occupied until I'm seen.
I'm glad everything was normal. I hope they figure out what caused it!

I like the dentist- but have never had any major work done that would make me hate it lol. (Actually...I think I've only seen a dentist ...2 times in my life?) I've needed braces since I was a child- but alas, my parents never cared enough to y'know, be proper parents.
Husband finally got some insurance with dental- so I'm gonna look into how much would be covered for braces. 24 with braces, what fun. But it sure would be nice to be able to smile with my teeth showing...I never do. People tend to think I'm being sad/mad/cocky or something...I'm not, I just have bad/crooked teeth that I'm ashamed to show
I'm not anxious or afraid of the dentist. I haven't had a cavity in at least 10 years and I am not having any problems with my teeth or gums. I really just wanted a teeth cleaning. When I called to make the appointment, I told them I did not want any X-rays. They said it was fine. Then I get there and they want to take a full array of x-rays. I told the tech no x-rays. She tells me the dentist won't see me without the x-rays, but she would go check. When she comes back, she tells me I will HAVE to have x-rays and that the dentist will be in to see me in a few minutes to talk to me. I told her, no, I'm going to leave, that I already feel uncomfortable and the dentist will just make me feel more uncomfortable and I would rather just leave. So, I left. I will go back, to a different dentist, eventually.

Annoying things of the morning:

-I reached out to my boyfriends favorite webcomic artist to buy a book off of him that was sold almost only through kickstarter. He was really sweet and said yes - he has spares. I paypal'd him a month ago (as a gift. I'm kicking myself.). He said he I will receive it by the end of November and will get the shipping details. Nothing. Radio silence. I'm out $50 and what would've been a great gift
-I have finals and need to study but my boyfriends mom insists we ALL go and buy a Christmas tree together early in the AM before all the good ones are picked over. Last year it took all day to pick a tree. We went to like 7 lots. I don't understand. I need to study.
THE GOOD NEWS: I'm on my way to ship my SSantees present!!
Sorry for being so crabby this morning. It's too cold and I'm ~*annoyed*~ but I'm so excited to see what other gifts roll out today!
Sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Hopefully tree shopping went quick. Hope your trade and your bfs gifts arrive soon. Good luck getting time to study.

Went to the post office. Cutely packed square box was going to cost double of a flat rate.

Because she already rang me up for the flat rate box I couldn't just say never mind and pay for the square box. I had to unpack everything and use the ugly Priority Mail tape. Now your gift is in a giant, poorly taped Flat Rate box. I'm afraid something in there will break because I didn't have enough filler to pad the box. I'm also afraid that that tape won't hold up because priority mail tape is really shitty and that's all they had. Small square box was perfectly packed and had a cute tag on it and everything ;( I'm sorry I wasn't willing to pay $25 to ship your cute square box but I knew it was heavy so IDK what I was thinking!. I hope you forgive me and I hope nothing comes broken.
Jessica
PS thanks guys! I'll make like a ninja and use my powers to pick the prettiest tree first. I want Chinese food now... I'll quit being so whiney! Bring on the SS reveals! First semester grad school finals are stressful!
Hope your gift arrives to your santee in good condition.

We haven't had snow yet, and I hate snow, but I kinda want some this year to see what the puppies think about it. They are both under 6 months, so the whole cold weather thing is bothering them right now.

Eek for the bad dentist experiences. One of the guys in my pottery class is a Demtist that specializes in scared patients (didn't know that was an option) so you may want to look for someone similar near you. Apparently they work really hard to work with/ through dental phobias.
I HATE the dentist- absolutely hate it. I hate everything about it. I refuse to go! So I looked into sedation dentistry that is for people like me but it costs so much money, Ugh. I'd rather be knocked out the entire time.

I'm so self-conscious about my teeth. Everyone picks on me because I don't smile in pictures but I hate how crooked my front teeth are. I'll be 24 w/braces too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My dentist told me that I may have to get my wisdom teeth pulled before getting braces. I think I will try to get Invisalign.
On a related note, the cashier at a Dunkin' Donuts pointed out the gap that I have in my front teeth and told me that in her culture having a gap is a sign of intelligence lol.

I hope everything is okay. So glad it wasn't anything they had to keep you for!

Corgis are the best. We have two. Daisy is so smart it is scary. Marley is the biggest snuggle buddy.

I think my Mom and Hubby are almost as excited as I am about having tracking. Lol. They have been following all the reveals and love how sweet everyone on here is.
I've been keeping my hubby updated and letting him know whenever anyone gets a gift. He is surprised by all the care being put into the packages that are being sent out.
