What I Ordered Today

I'm still on a roll to finish the bulk of shopping this week. I ordered
for my son Bucky Katt;s Big Book of Fun: A Get Fuzzy Treasury, A Pearls
Before Swine Treasury and Poet of the Appetites: The Lives and Loves of
M.F.K. Fisher by Joan Reardon. I also ordered 2 pairs each of the
world's softest socks for the girls and DH. How will I separate these
in the laundry since my son and I own them too? I still need to locally
buy and order on line food items for DH's niece and other relatives. I
have to firm up gifts for my hair stylist, manicurist and a few others.
I just have a huge list of people for whom I buy gifts, but luckily I
don't mind the shopping!

Actually i ordered it a couple days ago:

My son's girlfriend (17) is a cow–collector and i think this is so cute,
even if it is probably too juvenile to actually USE – good addition to
a collection. All sorts of other animals, too. On sale and currently free
shipping, i couldn't go wrong.
Also ordered this for myself, in brown:

The white was too snowbunny–ish for me (probably cute on a younger person)
and i already have a black poncho (which i love, reminds me of back in the
early 70's or so).
Also ordered some scented oils on ebay since i love to make wax tarts.

My DH will be getting that, too.
Use a permanent marker and put an initial underneath the toe.
Or just a dot – but different colours for each person.

Polo.com is having a sale, and I ordered:
Maddy black calfskin boots

Candice suede skirt in Cooper Brown

Hagan Twill skirt in Russian Twill Multi

Yep, I agree! It's just so hilarious and witty! I–Wei (who doesn't post to
AF any longer) told me about it last year and I've been hooked ever since.
Far Side is my other fave (though I guess you wouldn't technically call that
one a "cartoon strip"), but they are both so good that I find them hard to
say which is better. I have two of the "big" Get Fuzzy books (basically
means all of them) and this year's tear–off calendar (which is at work). I
need to get the 2005 one!

Please tell me more about the socks!!
My DD's both want socks for xmas, warm socks, like mine. My socks are
inexpensive wool/cashmere blend socks from Target. I hunted for them
forever last year, tired of having cold tootsies, but too cheap to
splurge on 100% cashmere socks, which you can't throw in the washer
anyway.
Am I the only one who's noticed that there's a wealth of warm dress
sock options for men, but alas, for women, everything seems to be
cotton, silk, or rayon blends? Which aren't warm at all!!! It's even
worse trying to find warm socks for kids. Luckily, my DD's feet have
grown and they can now fit into a small woman's sock instead of
children's sizes.

My first spring purchase – a pair of round toe, high heel, black/off white
spectator pumps from Aerosoles called, "Primming Event." They were so cute
that I didn't want to take the chance that my size would be gone by the time I
get to a store.

They're so feminine. If you bought the shoes now you would have a few
months to find the perfect outfit for them.

I'll be stopping by Aersoles this week. These shoes are likely to find
their way home with me as well.

I consider this a classic pink/brown. It's not very dark on me so I have to be
careful with it. I'm a MAC N5 if that helps with my coloring :)

Late last night I ordered the QVC TSV of SBC collection – Arnica Gel, Aloe
Gel, Collagen Gel, Detox Gel and another one which I forget!
I was after the Collagen Gel and Detox Gel in particular and have had the
Arnica Gel recommended.

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's belief that
makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug.

I was tempted by the Dolce Vita lipstick, but wasn't sure from the screen of
the shade... please could someone describe it?
Thanks

want a basic neutral for my lips.

at work I was told 3x how well I looked and that I must have had a
very good break at Christmas ...
it did look well on face ... I could not notice it and when checked
when I got home at the end of the work day I still looked healthy ...
the other rouge (as my granny called it) colours I wear most often are
Nars Sin, Becca Turkish Rose & MB Warm Shadows .. others which are
just 'all right' are LM Nutmeg (a bit too orange) Tarte Blush (a bit
too pink), MAC Harmony and EA Almond both of which are too pale ...
