My husband just smiles at me, then goes through everything I bought with a "that's cool." "can I have this?" or "the cats would like that."

Well I am bummed out.
I sent in my SS email the first day it opened up. Not really sure what happened, it was never received.
I'm not bitter, computer glitch I am guesing. Oh well.
For all you chocolate lovers, may I reccomend "Poppycock for Chocolate Lovers"
Its popcorn, almonds and pecans all drenched thick in a buttery glaze that is beyond description it is so good, and then covered in chocolate. Seriously, if you have never tried it, you must!
I will accept kudos from anyone sent this upon my suggestion.

A lot of people seem a bit slow getting around to SS stuff this year :/

I did get a really cute toy today, I'm thinking I might have to keep it and just buy another one for my SS person

Oh that stinks!!! Did you receive a confirmation email from someone saying they received it?
The mods kept posting saying that if you signed up but didn't get a confirmation, to resend. I'm sorry that you have to miss out this year, though.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
I get to enjoy the fun from afar - I get to wrapped up in these things. I totally over-spend, get everything ready early (and I LOVE wrapping presents!) - but I never get to the post office and end up stressing about getting it there on time... I miss participating, but I have fun watching!
...I'm also pretty sure I'd go insane if the person sending me a package didn't reveal themselves!

Well, I ordered a little something last night that I really hope my Santee likes! That's my biggest worry...that Santee won't like my gifts!

I'm thinking of baking some cookies to add to my package also.

Hope your person didn't specify no kitty-related stuff.

I was away this weekend and already bought WAY too much. My husband kept egging me on saying that I had to buy certain things.

I'm working on crocheting a little something and realized I have two different dye lot numbers on my yarn and they are nowhere close in color! So, I have to wait for this weekend to go back and get more. That will teach me to pay attention the first time!

You could just say you intended to make it multicolored.
