I wonder if it's fair to say that if I don't get hints soon my santee (

Hmm so we know who you don't have so far.


I bought some stuff tonight. I have mad coupon skills and got it all for free.

Got some shopping in today!


Since I had to get cat food anyway, I decided to indulge in early shopping...so much fun! My husband was laughing at my printed list with highlighted items and notes on where to buy things.

I was glad to see StarryEyedTiger's post...makes me feel a little less silly about my Word document.

Unless she's just trying to throw us off the scent.

That happened to me as well! I was assigned to people, bu it was quickly, hopefully corrected.......I am definitely looking forward to SS this year and hopefully making some new friends along the way!

Wishing I were anywhere but here
That's a good idea about the printout! I don't know how many times I have gone shopping and can't remember if my person liked something or not.


Can one of the mods please delete my post in the hints thread that is not completed? I don't know what happened, but I ended up posting twice with my incompleted on still on there and I can no longer delete it. Thanks!

I have my handy dandy notepad at the ready with remarks about my recipient. It is always in my purse.

I sure wish that my recipient would post some hints for me...otherwise, I might just have to throw a bunch of coal in a box and mail it

Now I know that neither of you are my SS of course, since I already answered

I sure hope my "Santee" (aka recipient) doesn't mind if she/he won't be able to join the dark side too early this year. I had to take Maverick & Gabriel to the vet yesterday, and the charges ended up being $200.00
-- which kind of leaves me in a bind for now financially. But no need to worry: he/she will not be going without.
Things will just be a little postponed this year.

I have some fantastic ideas already planned out, so the wait will be worth it!
