I think we should have a designated elf team -much like that list we had but ensure that people know who is an elf. Maybe I am just taking my elfly duties too seriously but i CRINGED when someone would post "I need an elf!" And someone replied "me me!" Because... Well, if you were trying to uncover the Santa mystery you could just go backwards and maybe figure it out - who needed an elf? Who replied? Who PMd you?
I think that is a good idea!  It would be neat if there could be some sort of designation in our profile thingie (whatever is to the left of what we post or the signature line).  Only downside to that is that when postin in other threads people might wonder why it says "Elf Extraordinare" or something like that

That would be so cool!

P.S.- Santee....Seriously, can we just agree that you'll believe that my 2 yr old did most of the wrapping?....well, at least you'll have something to rip apart....regardless of it's lack of beauty. =p

 
  Could these be coming to you?! COULD THEY?!?! P.S.- missing 3 items...I forgot one till just now and the other 2 I can't show because it would be too big a tip ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />


Looks great and the candy looks delicious!

This whole experience was just so much fun. I very much look forward to her reaction when she opens it. Hopefully she will wait until Christmas

but I won't be upset if she tears away at everything hehe
Looks great!

 
When I Needed an elf, I sent a PM to an active member of this thread. I figured if you are active on here, you are likely to find being an elf fun! I then got to be an elf for one of my elves! Too much fun!

 I love being an elf!

The number of people who have quoted this passage, which essentially tells people to do just this and calls everyone's attention to it, is a bit more attention getting than one person posting a one-line message several pages back. IMO. Let's focus on the fun.
 
I just want to point out that not everyone on this thread wants to be an elf. I am big on surprises and being an elf ruins some of it for me. My request is for people to please, please use the elf list. Just because you don't mind, doesn't mean someone else won't :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is the sort of shit I deal with when it comes to MC Large Barge, aka Oscar, aka the aforementioned eighteen-pound cat:


I AM STANDING UP. HE LAUNCHED HIMSELF AT ME FROM THE FLOOR. HE DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I HAVE LEARNED HIW TO FOLD LAUNDRY AND DO DISHES WITH HIM DRAPED ACROSS MY NECK BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO DISLODGE HIM. HE IS EVIL.
He's sooooo cute! I wish my guy was more of a lap kitty, but he only wants to stand on me when he's in the process of dropping his soggy toy in my face. 

 
OMG!  I'm so excited.  I'm try to be a good little girl and hold out until Christmas to open my goodies but look at this wonderful, lovely secret pile of beauty!! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />:D:D!

!  Thank you Santee!!  I think I will still wait :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  (though opening the box certainly makes it harder)

WHAT IF MY SS PACKAGE TRIED TO COME TO MAMA??

We are supposed to have a "massive" storm today and I am hoping my mailman makes it before then. I don't even know if my girl sent it that way or not lol. And I am definitely NOT holding my breath for this "storm" and "inches of snow" because meteorologists are the most highly paid, subjective probability using dillweeds!

 
So, I am kinda worried that my box was too stuffed and that things might get damaged in transit. I really hope that they don't, even though I would send replacements, I would still feel terrible.

 
My one last thing I was waiting for is now complete and I can wrap and ship today.  Yaaay! Although with snow it may be Monday.  I'll make sure to use an elf so my SS doesn't expire from anticipation:)

I really didn't expect it to snow this much!  Of course, everyone who has spent more than a few years here is like "THIS IS NOTHING" and I'm like "oh lordy.. please make it stop..."  part of me really wants to go to CVS to see if there's JUST ONE MORE THING that I need.. or if I should just.. stay home forever.

In my world, retail therapy cures all. Even snow. And if you get stuck in the snow, you'll have pretty things to look at/play with from the shopping =p

Y'know what pisses me off? If I'm feeling crappy (for whatever reason. Overstressed at work, hit with the death plague, filled with rage because some as***** did something that really hurt me) and do online retail therapy, when I get those things, I flash back to how horrible I felt when I ordered it. I'm okay if I order something that *arrives* during a hell time, though, so if I order something on, say, a Wednesday when I feel fine that arrives on a particularly nasty Tuesday, it's all good.
