Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[Jezebel]

I NEED that database- please share??? Still incredibly sick. It's 7:20 and I have coughed until I pee my pants 3 times today already . I have almost no voice and the dayhome kids think it is so funny that I can't talk. So happy it is Friday and I get a couple days off after today. I honestly think the short weeks seem longer? Maybe because everyone is out of routines?

On another note- Mini package buddy- your parcel is ready for pickup as of yesterday at 8:38am. Hope you like it. I tried my best- but being so ill limited my shipping trips. As it was I had to send hubby to mail it.

Coyote- I am starting Weight Watchers meetings in Monday. Kinda excited but kinda apprehensive. Hoping it goes well. Good luck to you.

We call the treat a Christmas Log, it is the easiest and tastiest treat ever to make. We only make it at Christmas and My loving DH will destroy the house to find were I have hidden them if I make it to early So needless to say it gets made only on Dec 24th

Here is the recipe if you want to try your hand at making it

Christmas Log

1 KG bag graham cracker crumbs
5-6 bottles of Marichino cherries
1 bag small coloured marshmellows
2 cans of condensed milk
1 bag of shredded coconut

Mix all ingredients together, except for coconut. It will be a sticky gooing mess roll into logs, i get about 5 - 6 out of a batch. once rolled into logs coat it in the coconut, roll up in wax paper and freeze. slice and serve. I have also added nuts, chocolate, etc, to it for variety.

I had a ton of fun with this package for you, I am glad that you like it

Hilarious!

I just made the delicious mistake of opening the mini Turks peachy sent me today because the are so soft and fresh I will not be able to stop but worse DH caught me and now wants some. Currently hiding under a blanket telling him to go away!

I don't know how you restrained yourself for so long in the first place! Big Turks are my favorite...The perfect blend of candy surrounded by milk chocolate...mmmmm
Now I'm craving one LOL! While I am not generally one for sweets, my family knows not to mess with my Big Turks or Peanut M&M's...
Yummy!

$3 any one whiskas dry food for cats (1.5kg, 2kg,3kg, 4kg, or 9.1kg 08308388 exp may 1, 2013......if anyone sees this coupon I will trade geneously for it as this is what my other furr ball eats (Daisy who lives at my moms) I wish they got along *sigh* they are both just too stubborn....off topic but I originally got Daisy as a pet kitty for Jezzee...I said pet not lunch ! Daisy very quickly moved in with my mom lol

My one cat in particular is 11 years old, and exclusively eats Whiskas also...I have bought other stuff, but he literally starved himself for three days and refused to eat until I gave in and went and bought Whiskas. With one exception: I had the Kitten FPC from mykitten.ca that was about to expire, so I thought I would try it instead of wasting it, and he LOVED it! It is kitten food, so I cannot really buy that for him, but I was very surprised. Between my three cats, they ate that 2kg bag in 36 hours!

Beautiful packages everyone. Once again I am in awe of the talent of my fellow SC's .

On a side note:
I was really feeling like I was missing out when everyone on here was talking about the Mega Redemption, etc as I always use my Optimum card, but never have any significant amount of points. So I started looking into it, and...
We decided that our gift for Justin would be the Nintendo 3DS he has wanted for over a year (he has a gameBoy and an iPod Touch, so i have refused to buy it for him)
Anyway...
Shoppers was having a Midnight/Moonlight Madness on a Friday night until 2 am where all regular priced items were 20% off (with regular exceptions, stamps, lottery tickets, etc). They had a 20X the points promo running on Saturday. So we went between 12 & 2 am to get the 3DS Special Edition (with Mario on it) $169, but with the 20% off it was $136, but with 20x the points, we got $75 in points!
I have NEVER had that many points!
Very exciting for me! I told my husband NOT TO SPEND them, b/c we will continue to save until they have their Mega Redemption next year. We bought something we were going to buy anyway, saved over $30, and will get a minimum of $75 in free stuff, so in my head, we paid like $60 for something that costs $170!
This is probably minimal for alot of you Optimum pros, but exciting for me!

Dear Denise - this mommy found some time last night to have her first bath since having Alexa (I begged out of the parenting card with my wicked sinus congestion). The bath salts you sent me = awesomesauce. What are the oils you used to scent them? I couldnt smell them myself but DH said it smelled good ('better than that other crap') I use. lol. he's got a way with words

I am so glad that you like them, I wasn't sure on the smell because I only use essential oils in my bath products and pick them for there properties vs the lovely ( or not so lovely smell in some of them). In your bath salts I used ylang ylang for it's calming and soothing properties for the hormonal system and emotional balance, frankincense for the nervous system,immune system, emotional balance as well as great properties for the skin, and I used patchouli which is a delight for the skin, it helps dry chapped, itchy, skin.

I also did a little more research on my oils, you mentioned that you get headaches from lavender, which is strange because it should help, but most lavender oils that are used in most products that are being sold, are not actually real lavender. they are a chemically changed compound of something completely different called Lavandin and some people react to it but not to a real lavender oil.

I'm so glad it cheered you up! The Buckleys seemed like an appropriate fit, after your family has been so sick! Here's to a healthier 2013!!

You bath oils sound Devine, I not really a bath person but I could make an exception. Hope to have you as a buddy on a future package train!

[missbee217]

That actually explains a lot b.c I am insanely allergic to a lot of things that are 'lavendar' scented...

[gwennad]

Ok buddy - item was successfully delivered so please tell me you got it, and that I did ok... I'm rather nervous now!

wow! that's fantastic! interesting about the lavender and it makes so much more sense now. lavender and chamomile are two things that effect me in the opposite way that they "should" but if things are imitations and just chemicals, that would make sense! thanks so much for the info! How's your injury? did it turn out to be your ACL?
