cabinets being done, by shopping.
I have lovely depressions on my cheeks from the respirator. :–( I'm
using Citristrip, but it's still quite stinky.

looks like it. i'm still hoping that that perfect gift is just
going to jump out at me. i could totally do something from BBW,
but i was hoping to find something more original that just some
lotion or something.
we'll see.

I won't get mine out tomorrow but am certainly going to pick it up. Maybe I
can wrap/send on the same day but I have a bad habit of making a stop on the
way home which seems to detract me from my intentions...

I sent mine out this morning. I'm paranoid about it not getting there in
time. Mail seems to take a week just to get to Sydney from Perth. I'm
hoping it gets to the US before Christmas.

Mine goes to a different country, but I am waiting for one last
package to be delivered before closing the box and heading
to the post office.
I hit a fabulous sale, managed to do really well (admittedly, I
went over 36–cents), so I know my Santee will be happy.
The googling and shopping is *such* great fun, bless you Jen
for making the holidays so special!

I sent mine today. Also, to a place far, far away. About as far as
you can get!
I sure hope it arrives in tim e....

Took a little trip to the post office today. Mine is on its way from
Arizona to ––––––––––––––.
Hope the package finds its way to its new home.

The postman just dropped off my Sephora and Ulta boxes – will wrap and pack

I mailed mine this afternoon along with four other packages. I will
share no details about where my santee lives!

Hopefully my Santee will get hers quickly.. also had another pkg to SF
(NOT SS) to ship along with another one to upstate NY to a dear friend.
(ring any bells?)

ALL of our out of state/country gifts are wrapped and boxed and ready
to go out tomorrow.
All the "local" ones are unwrapped as yet, but they can wait.
The hardest part was keeping the kitten from stealing the bows.

i sent mine out today via Priority mail! i'm so excited about
what i sent my Santee! i hope she (c'mon, with the number of
females on this NG, this isn't giving away much) likes it!

I realized tonight that I forgot to add the little extras I was saving
so package #2 will be sent tomorrow. It's ok because I can try to mail
another package at the same time.

I'm done with the shopping, but I still have to wrap and such. And – sigh – I
was going to include some home made candy but I had a miserable cooking day
yesterday and managed to mess up FOUR kinds of candy (out of four) and the
only cookie I attempted. Grrr!

Santa stopped off in Vancouver, BC today to make an early pick up.
He's heading east.

Hope you bought lovely scented things to make up for the fumes :–).

Mine will be in the mail this morning. Have to go downtown so I'll send it
off while there. But I didn't do all that great at the packaging end of it
all. I promise that next year I'll get it gift wrapped!

My SS shopping has been curtailed by an upper respiratory infection (that's
FINALLY almost cleared up) and a snow storm that cancelled the shopping trip
that I planned with a friend. I will be in 2 different cities with decent
shopping this week, thankfully! Worst case, I will order online and have it
shipped directly but I really want to put together a personalized package.
So if you don't get your AFSS for a bit, I promise it will be worth the
wait!

Oh man, I can sympathize with you there. I've been sick for the last 2
weeks and finally decided I wasn't getting better on my own so dragged
myself to the doctor and got a prescription for some expensive
antibiotics. Hope you're all better soon!

Thanks becca! I had a cold for a week and instead of it getting better, it
just kept getting worse. My husband finally convinced me to go to the walk
in convenience care clinic at our doctor's office. The PA said they've been
seeing a LOT of this type of illness and seems like everyone I've run into
has it or has had it. I'm taking Augmentin twice a day for 10 days and
Mucinex DM twice a day. I can now breathe at night which means more sleep
and I have a non–froggy voice!
beth, excited to get some shopping done tomorrow

Yep, that sounds like the same thing I have, I'm even taking the exact
same medicine! I'm finally starting to feel a bit better and might
actually be up to some shopping tomorrow myself. <g>
