Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

Oh no!! I hope he gets used to the shortness quickly and it won't bother him. If it's any consolation, my 16 year old, who hasn't had his long blonde hair cut in over 3 years, came home one week before school started with green hair. His let his girl friends try to dye it blue and it turned out green instead . He said he would cut it (over my dead body!) if it didn't wash out before school started. Thankfully, it faded some but now it just looks dirty, ugh.

My little brother came home from school one day when he was little with hair they'd colored with bingo dabbers at school. awesome classroom supervision that day! Lol

My son's hair is blue and has been for a couple of months. Before that it was purple and before that...pink. He normally wears a top hat. Odd kid. He almost looks normal today.

My current favourite is cinnamon heart and Chili chocolate chia. I like a fruity tea just on it own with a dribble of honey, current favs strawberry rhubarb parfait. I do not like Rooibos tea all I taste is wood, and the nut ones can be yucky. I had Movie night and by the end it taste like warm butter ewww
When I go to the Cancer centre I always pick up a couple samples about 20-25g of something this time I am picking up Big Apple and hot lips

I had something with cinnamon last time and I didn't dislike it but I didn't really like it either. Hmmm....I do like rooibos. It's one of my favourites!

Unicorn wish - to get pregnant with #2 by Christmas?!?! as for an actual item, i can't really think of anything...

Do I bake? no, not really. hubby bakes bread, thats about it. he's not really into sweets

and mmmmm I love David's Tea too!! so many fun flavors to try!

[MrsSunshine]

and I SO desperately want to cut my sons hair.. its like shaggy.. no the REAL Shaggy.. but he loves it. were just dealing with some hygiene issues so if we can get over that i wn't mind the long hair.. ohh. it better be soon. the other one wants his cut like yesterday.

Well that sucks .



What did he use to dye his hair blue? My son used the Manic Magic (or something like that). For some reason it turned his hair green instead of blue. Maybe if he insists on trying it again, at least I can recommend a better product.

Too funny! I hope someone took souvenir photos of him .

Meh, the ones of me dressing him up in my bikinis and locking him in our old dog's crate are the photos I cherish from our childhood

My theory on the hair thing though is that it's just hair. It looks ridiculou I'm sure, and I know I'll definitely be stressed out of this world (My OCD's gonna go into overdrive!) when my kid peroxides their hair or bingo dabs it or whatever, but it's not forever!

Just did some digging on the giggles & grins...looks like the whole line was discontinued in 2008? Sounds like it was a great product though. It's too bad!

Hey, do any of you bakers have a good recipe for carrot cake (not overly crazy for prep time etc?. I have a bag of carrots that need some purpose.

QUESTION: If you could have one book in your Christmas package what would it be? (feel free to list more than one if you really love reading)

not sure there are so many i want to read...hunger games fifty shades of grey any dean koontz, robin cook and that type
used books are great

Ok buddy - do you prefer showers or baths?

i love baths but work in a kitchen so a couple of baths a week then all showers

oh buddy.. do your kids like animals. ie farm animals or cats/dogs etc. ?

she loves them

buddy are you ok with used DVDs??

almost the only kind i buy....burned ones are ok too

which bring me to the second &third part of my question (which I didnt realize had a second & third part until now, lol)

buddy - what types of movies do you like to watch?

horror, action, comedy and disney
and what is your favourite movie?ummmm too many to say

Are any of you in vancouver? Would love a coupon friend here! You guys have been so great. I'm so happy to be on this train. Bought a few things for my buddy but still looking for that big wow item.

closest i can get to you is in Kamloops...havent found anyone from SC here either

[MrsSunshine]

did i answer the question about the one book i'd like to get.. i think i may have answered it about the grey set.. if not it was Wilton ANYTHING!

[Jody22002]

We have used Manic Panic before but it only works well when you do the Manic Bleach kit first!! Giant Tiger sells a brand(whose name escapes me right now-I will ask blue haired kid later and get back to you) that comes in pink, purple, red, blue, or green. It works better than the Manic Panic, in my opinion. My kids are all blondes technically so that might be why the colors work so well on their hair.

I think I am going to "mix it up" with the gifts but have the "special gift" for Christmas day. I already have my special gift ordered... so I feel a little less stressed

BUDDY- did I tell you how AMAZING your wishlist is?!? So many options! THANK-YOU!

I'm heading to Esapnola for the weekend. I'm keeping my mom company when she takes Tyler(her grandson/my nephew) to his Camp Quality Camp Reunion(summer camp for children who have survived cancer or are going through cancer treatments--my nephew is a survivor )

I have my coupons packed and plan to stuff 3 trains. I planned it that way. I am also going to shop at Giant Tiger.. we don't have one here and they sell the worlds most comfortable underwear. HA! I know how silly it sounds but they are fabulous. $2 a pair.. they don't shrink and most importantly, they don't ride up my bum. We call them "sexy granny panties". BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!

I'm super excited for next weekend too. Hubby and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. We are not doing anything to fancy... we are hoping to spend the day together if his work schedule allows it. We are looking forward to our Cuba trip in January that is our Chrismas present to each other AND we will have a romantic dinner(or two) to celebrate our five years.

OH, NickiB... We will be in London ON in February for the Provincial Billiard Championships. We are staying at the "Downtown Hilton". February 12th-17th. Maybe a coffee???

we have a camp like that out here that my son used to go too for kids with disabilities...they are the best for them

[chesterjes]

[QUOTE=NickiB;5017286]Ooooo.. just thought of some things I need my buddy to answer..

Chocolate. White or dark? (Dark includes milk choc) milk chocolate

Fruit or Nuts? nuts

Peppermint or Gingerbread? (smell, flavor.. I'm flexible!) either

Favourite item to stockpile? all of them lol....pediasure and pullups

Stockpile item you go through the fastest?pediasure and pullups lol

I hope this does not offend anyone and if I'm breaking any rules by posting this please remove it I will not be offended in the least...my son has been taking part in the Children's Wish Walk for Wishes since 2007 when he got his wish to go on a Disney Cruise. In total he has raised over $25000 since then on his own (with a little help from Mom and Dad of course) by knocking on doors in our neighborhood and asking friends and family. This year he set himself a goal of $8000, he put together a live auction and combined with his canvassing he is at $7338.52 this year, and the walk is on Sunday. He plans to spend all day tomorrow out knocking on doors until he gets his goal. If any of you are looking for a charity to support this year every little pledge will bring him that much closer to his goal. Here is his online link for anyone that is interested. Thank you ladies
