Do which ever is easier on you! I'll like it no matter what!!!

No worries though, after a very smug look and a "bless your heart" from me, I was able to escape the path of the crazy lady and continue shopping with Jack (who was laughing hysterically at that point and made a comment about women shoppers- that almost cost him his neck!
)! Anways, once I escaped the crazy shoppers, he helped me pick out a lovely ____ for you and said that you should love it because it matches the color(s) you like


I also picked up wrapping paper last night! Hummmm now all I have to decide is when I should wrap and mail things off....Are you a dark sider or a light sider??
Hmmmm...use your best judgement and decide what I need most at the time!

I'll be happy with whatever you decide to do! It is the thought that counts.


Dear SS,

I went to _________ on Sunday and found tons of __________. I got so excited I didn't know what to buy so I just got ___________ and hope you will enjoy it! I don't know if you are a dark sider or light sider, but I think I'll just surprise you instead so that I keep you guessing!

Ok, I think I need to start some wrapping. Perhaps that will stop me from getting into the chocolate


and it will help me make sure I have everything I wanted to send my santee.


I wonder if my santee is a lightsider or darksider, hmmm, is that on the hints thread?

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
I really need to finish my wrapping...lol...I have one more thing to get and I already found it but in my SS procrastinating spirit I didnt buy it last night....I probably should have lol.


Chris- Ill be whatever you want me to be...But if you want me to be an honest lightsider....you will have much better luck trying to aim for weekend arrival so BF can rip it out of my hands and hide it from me. I truely am a darksider at heart...I will admit I stalked the mailbox the day my last Nora Roberts book was to arrive...I think I checked for it about 10 times that day knowing full well the mail doesnt arrive till 1030 at the earliest!!!

Me, again! I've been wrapping on and off all evening...I'm terrible at wrapping, Santee...but I've done fairly well at keeping Daisy's hot little hands out of gifts.

Just popping in to say I haven't started shopping


I will definitely get it out in the mail in time, but how? I don't know!

My package is on its merry way! I just hope it arrives safely and my Santee likes it. There was a lot of last minute stuffing...I had to re-wrap because things just didn't fit in the box as planned. Now I'm worried about squished presents, torn paper, llama escapes, all sorts of terrible scenarios....

DH came in after I had everything wrapped and said "there is no way that's going to fit in that box." And he was right. I did manage to fit it all, but some things had to be taken out of their boxes.

And if Green Bean escapes, I'm going to pretend I don't know who he is.

I have also been looking at postal prices, OMG, I have decided to go with a courier rather than standard post here, much cheaper and tracked! x

Finished my shopping today and got some REALLY cute things at a local craft fair.
Dana actually made me stop buying because he said I had bought enough.
I think I'll be shipping sometime next week.

My sweet Mom paid 1/2 the postage for me. I sold some stuff at a yardsale to raise money for the other half. Now I will worry until my Santee posts that it arrives. And I am rehearsing:

"What do you mean, a llama on the loose? Officer, I have never seen that llama before in my life! Though you might want to refer to him as Green Bean when you are trying to catch him."
