Pre-nap update

[sihayadesigns]

Had a busy day today and I need a powernap before I begin work for the evening. Thus, lemme do this quickly:

-- Yay, presents! zenmaster's package was full of teas, odd games (J says that I will like Bejeweled), and The Star Wars Vault, which I promptly tore open and pored over. But I still think the best part was the card. Thank you, Jeff. belladonnastrap sent me a pretty, vintage-y necklace. And I got pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from poisoninjest. I got cards, too-- I have to send thank you ones. Note to self, do not forget! Anyhow, thank you for thinking of me.

-- My final Christmas gift from Jason was this:


Oooh, aaah. I have to give it back, though. He wants to have something engraved on it. It was supposed to be done before Christmas, but he had major problems with the seller. Which-- I have had many, many rants about poor customer service this holiday season, but I will refrain. Instead, I will be thankful that at least the finished product is a quality item that fits, despite the trouble it took to get it that way. Anyhow, I was briefly worried that giving it back may be problematic. While it fits perfectly, at some point last night, my right hand swelled a bit from working a long stretch, and it would not come off. Thankfully, after I let it be for most of the day, it slid off without the assistance of ice and/or butter.

-- Speaking of fingers, owwwwww. I burnt the crap out of two fingers on my left hand while making breakfast yesterday. I bowl of ice water and fresh aloe were needed. It's still icky. Blech. Typing is at least less problematic now.

-- I had some good friend time this week. I hung out with bellybalt on Monday, but forgot about possibly doing lunch on Saturday, mostly because this weekend was a timewarp and I thought Friday was actually Saturday. In fact, it was not. Today, I helped Bridget find nice dress clothes. People, this is my superpower. I have missed my calling as a personal shopper. If you ever need help finding clothes, call me up. Is it too late to apply for an internship with Clinton and Stacy? Sadly, my superpower rarely works on me.

-- Jason and I spent a LOT of time in pajama mode this weekend, avoiding the rest of the world. He needed some serious cuddle time and stress-recovery TLC. So we slept in, cooked for each other, and watched most of BSG season one. He's hooked. He's a big Adama fanboy. But overall, I had him mostly to myself, and it was wonderful. He is my favorite person in all the world.

-- I now have candles. Yankee was having a hell of a sale, and I managed to get one of my favorite jar candles (Autumn Leaves) for $15. I got a dozen votives and a small jar candle (Pumpkin Pie) as well. Yay. Now, to replenish my Baltic Amber candle from Voluspa (best sexin' candle ever) and I am all set.

-- Dixie is gone for a week and that means I can sleep on the world's comfiest couch all I want. Whee.

-- Now, I need to nap before I work. I will be burning the midnight oil from now until update time. I am STILL waiting on specialty headpins I ordered December 3rd, and if they are not here by Tuesday, I am gonna blow a fuse or something. But I digress. Much work to be done. But now, quick powernap.

Where do you get your yankee candles? I would have loved to jump on a sale of theirs :)

I just stopped by the Owings Mills store in the mall while I was out today. 75% off of most of the Fall/Winter line.

Also, it looks like it extends to their website, so if you know what you're looking for and don't mind paying shipping, that might be the way to go.

Does the shopping fu work virtually? ;) I've been trying to talk myself out of this purple tafetta dress all season, and they just keep dropping prices. Don't need at all, but sooo hard to pass up!

Gorgeous, gorgeous ring! The boy's def got good taste!

Oooh, that is a pretty dress. I love the color and it's a classic shape. I'd say go for it but make sure they have a decent return/exchange policy.

Also-- I got your package! And thank you for the lotion. :)

Classic shape, I know, right? It HAS to be flattering! Free return shipping, so I should be covered.

And verra welcome! I can't stand to mail packages w/out loot for the recipient! :D

You're most welcome. I'm betting on Peggle being your new favorite game, but we shall see.

"But I still think the best part was the card."

That's as it should be.

Don't work too late!

Ahhhh, that makes sense. Unfortunately, I didn't get the time agreed upon until the night before, or I would have emailed you earlier, thus keying you to the day difference. :)
