  1. Merry Christmas, GD fam! [emoji16][emoji319][emoji318][emoji172][emoji320]
  2. Thank you again, Bopeep, for being an awesome Chief Elf! Merry Christmas!
  3. So very sorry, friend… [emoji22] Your mom may not remember this but she will feel the love and, someday, you will look back on this time with the knowledge you loved her well in the midst of the most difficult times. Praying for all of you.
  4. Just opened my SS box! Thank you so very much Reinholt1 & mom! You spoiled us! Kitties are already trying to break into the treats
  5. Had to work yesterday. Was not fun being out in the brutal winds. Otherwise, not as horrid as it could’ve been. lol
  6. Thanks for another year of being our Chief Elf! So very much appreciated!!! [emoji16][emoji318][emoji319][emoji320]
  7. House hunt in full swing - I think I have 7-8 houses I’m planning/hoping to see with my agent Saturday morning plus another open house or two once she needs to go to handle other obligations. Hoping the winner is somewhere in this bunch! Fingers crossed! Baking for gifts about to ramp up as well. First shipments go out by Tuesday! Time’s flying!!!
  8. I got a box today! Woo! Waiting till Christmas to open. Thank you!!! [emoji318][emoji319][emoji320]
  9. If you haven’t already, PM Bopeep directly so she has this info in her inbox as well. [emoji4][emoji106]
  10. Welcome, December! For those of us in the SS/OE party over in Holiday Discussion, TOMORROW is the shipping deadline! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
  11. Eesh! Crazy how fast shipping deadline has snuck up on me! Still pulling together SS stuff in the midst of work and house hunting! (Nope, I’m not the least bit busy! LOL)
  12. I’m in! Reset phone reminders so hopefully I can stay in this time!!! lol
  13. I’m working on buying a house so this is one year I’m glad I don’t have many folks to buy for. LOL Looking to keep my costs at $500 or less for Christmas and supplies for the church NYE party. We shall see.
  14. Looking forward to shopping! Woo! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
  15. My primary job - I have Thanksgiving and BF off as a holiday. My second (fun gig) retail job - I expect I’ll be working there at least a few hours. All good.
  16. 1.) For what I’ll be looking for, likely Target/Meijer/Walmart 2.) I’ll for sure be out and about shopping on BF. Not yet sure exactly which stores but B&BW is always on the list. 3.) I still miss the little JC Penney snow globes. Wish they’d make a comeback. They always made an early stop at JCP a must for me. [emoji170]
  17. Final hours to get in on the fun! Join us!!! [emoji16][emoji319][emoji318]
  18. It’s a Wonderful Life, hands down.
  19. I bake like a maniac for Christmas. Have for years. Got several dear friends who look forward to their Christmas goodie boxes every year. I typically ship ~50 lbs of cookies, bread, and fudge to my track family at Joe Gibbs Racing alone. It makes for a crazy first half of December but so worth it. [emoji16][emoji106]
  20. Info sent! I’m late this year but life has certainly happened these past few weeks. Had to replace a transmission in my car and almost lost one of my furbabies to a nasty infection (she’s thankfully on the mend).
  21. Same! And mine’s only 32 GB! The horror!!!
  22. 20 years already next year?!?!? Woohoo! Can’t believe it’s been that long. I haven’t been here from the very start but it was only a few years running when I -did- find GottaDeal. I recommend to everybody looking for deals all the time now. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji106][emoji106]
  23. I realize I totally fell off the planet from here for a bit (and I know I’m out of the running, dang it - my own fault). Been a busy summer and now I’m in the middle of house hunting for the first time in my adult life. My rent increased 10% last year and another 20% this year (after multiple previous year increases of <5% which were manageable). With this year’s jump, I finally decided enough was enough and that the costs of renting here are now outweighing the benefits. Time to move. Time to buy a house. So… Yikes (!!!) but also Yay!!! And my dad has just told me that, once I’m moved in, I will have a lawnmower! Woooooo!!! (And yes, when I realized I was excited about a lawnmower, I had the “oh gosh… I’m really an adult, aren’t I” moment. Ha!) I’ve literally been in this same complex ever since I finished school and I’ve been in this apartment for 17 years. Soooo there’s some amount of “this is a bit of a scary leap” since I’m doing this on my own but I know it’s time and I’m excited by some of the properties I’ve already seen in my early searches that are actually in my desired price range. [emoji16] On the other hand, I’m dealing with health issues in my tortie kitty girl, Mew. We’ve discovered hyperthyroidism and a mild heart murmur as a result of two seizure-like episodes she’s experienced over the last few weeks that my vet believes are “vascular events”. We have a thyroid recheck tomorrow (2 weeks on the meds) and I am to schedule an appointment with a cardiologist for sooner than later once we confirm we’re bringing the thyroid issue under control (hopefully that confirmation will come as a result of the appt tomorrow). Little miss Mew is almost 15 and we need to understand cause of these episodes that are scaring her and giving this kitty mama my own “vascular event” when they’ve happened. With BF coming just around the corner, I knew it was high time for me to pop my head back up around here and check in. Hope the rest of my GD fam is well and ready for our favorite time of the year! [emoji170] Here’s Mew last night after her most recent episode giving me the “what, mom? I’m fine!” look.
  24. Knew it was about that time! Yay!
