LINGERLONGER , when you want something to arrive on time, it won't, so I guess it follows that if you want something to arrive in January, it will show up in December. I'm sure YH will enjoy it, anyway. I love Penzey's. I ordered a giant bottle of vanilla from them a little while ago. I hope you have a good time at the brewery! There's a brick and mortar location about an hour and a half from us. I want to bring DH there so badly. Their prices for spices are incredibly reasonable, and omg the variety they have. I ordered it Monday night. I picked the 5-7 day option, and expected it to ship within 48 hours or so, which it did, but they shipped it 3-day. I figured with the 5-7 day option it would take a bit longer given the holidays and all, but noooOooOoo. Why do they have to be so prompt and shit? Lol. I should have had it sent to my parents'. I'm dumb.

Oh no, efmcc67. DH is the same way, but the begging to tell him what I got or let him open it starts the moment a package shows up. Lol. He is SO annoying around Christmas. He also can't keep a secret and tells me what he got me the moment he buys it.

Our first Christmas together, we had this conversation over AIM (it was a long time ago): Me: I just got you a Christmas present. H: Cool! What is it. Me: haha. H: Seriously, what is it? Me: ... you have to wait for Christmas. H: Oh, come on. No one does that. Just tell me!

Or he'll just start guessing things because he knows I'm a terrible liar and have no poker face.

I just get too excited because I know he’ll really like it. I suck.

I just get too excited because I know he’ll really like it. I suck. I did have to tell H this year not to buy any DVD/Blu-Ray sets without checking with me. I really didn't want him to buy it for himself. Last year, I knew I was safe. The odds of him also finding a secondhand LP of the Flash Gordon soundtrack were basically 0.

Maybe I can convince him not to open it? Lmao! No, he won't be able to control himself. At least I didn't mention anything about his birthday in the card. Now I just have to convince him it's not a Christmas present because we're not exchanging gifts. Are we married to the same person? lol H bought new computer monitors on Cyber Monday. I told him they could be his Christmas present, but that he couldn't open them until Christmas. He laughed, and they were already set up by the time I got home from work three days later (i.e. the day they arrived). You mean like our new vacuum that has been running daily for over 2 weeks now?

I had my last interview today. This was the job that I was most interested in, but the people aren't my favorites. I would be mostly working by myself, though so I guess I will wait until any offers come in to determine whats most important to me. H is gone until Sunday and I already miss him. efmcc67, so exciting to think that your chapter is going to be published in a book! I really dislike Alun, he sounds like the worse type of neighbor. sunshine, feel better soon! LINGERLONGER, gifts that you get to benefit from are the best kinds! I am all of your husbands. I HATE waiting to find out what my gifts are.

I hope it works out sarahbelle. If you're working alone the people might not matter too much, but I worked alone a lot at my last job and the fact that I liked the people made a huge difference.

We really should get one, since it’d be one fewer chore, but it’s so expensive. We also have a two story house, so we’d need to remember to move it up and down, because there’s no way I’m paying for two. I might try to convince H to use part of our bonus for it if it goes on sale on Boxing Day.

Yeah, if my current job taught me anything, it's that the people you work with matter a lot! I did like everyone, the group from interview 1 were just so welcoming and warm, I think they made the others come off as even colder.
