1.5 weeks from now, everything will be over. for this semester at least. but summer break, here i come! (staying at home laugh out loud )



Normal people would probably not see the difference in the effect of small vs large curling wand. But we are not normal people nod
Whee for summer break! lucky!

what do you mean, we're all normal!!! they're the ones who are not! laugh out loud

i think i'm going to try to buy it at ulta to try out, so i can return if it doesn't work for me. whenever i find a 20% coupon... 1 review said the curls didn't stay so i am worried that may happen to me. my hair is super thick and is harder to curl than most.

I'm just a horrible, horrible studier! I do best when sh!t is about to hit the fan. Laugh

I did make a stop in F21! laugh out loud I have a GC to use up. That store is very hit or miss. I only buy random accessories from there.

I must be the only person here who doesnt even like Express all that much. Cant get into it. Hmm...
I don't shop Express nearly as much as I used to. I think a lot of their cotton-blend dresses are overpriced ($49+ for thin cotton is too much!). However, what I do like is that they now break up the tiered coupons on individual items. Returns will be much easier.

I am so looking forward to a room like that!! Whee In my defense, he plays a lot more and owns a lot more laugh out loud But I generally love the competitiveness when I play with friends or whatever.
I'm a very lame gamer. I used to play Halo, but it's not good for my heart. LMAO I get too much adrenaline and then I'm sweating profusely.

This is what I bought at Express today:

Ikat Dress in White [express.com] <- cute for going out. A little see-through though...then again, I was wearing bright blue undies so that could be it. laugh out loud I will test it out with nude undergarments later.

Striped Dress in Indigo [express.com] <- love this! Very nautical style. The only thing is, the stripes don't line up very well on the side seams...I'm trying to fight the OCD on this.

Knit Mini Skirt in Black [express.com] <- Alvs, this is def. very cute! I will prob. go back and get the other 2 colors later. Cool

How can I get a good deal at Express? It's so frustrating trying to put an order together. Head Bang I'm having to pay full price for the $60 items & getting both $30 items 1/2 price. I just can't make myself do that. laugh out loud Without FS, I can't place separate orders. Please tell me there's a better way to order that doesn't require going to the store.

They get crazy over 5 year old t-ball. They don't even keep score yet. I just want to have fun not be psycho crazy.
Just wait, it gets worse. I reffed some high school, varsity basketball games where we had to arrive before the fans. After the game, we each had a cop escort us to our car then follow us until we were out of the game traffic. Some parents & fans in general lose their minds, when it comes to sports.

My DH would love that room. He wanted to buy a two-story house to have a theater room upstairs. There's no way I could do steps on a daily basis, so he went as far as contacting someone about putting an elevator in a home. I had to burst his bubble & tell him he was crazy to think a theater was worth all that money. Yeah, I'm a mean wife. Hide Your room sounds really neat & more affordable though. That's a great idea!

I could handle the video games, if it wasn't the same game repeatedly. The repeating commentary is what drives me crazy. I also don't like it, when the people he plays against online think we're interested in hearing their private conversations. They use a microphone & I have to listen to their colorful language that I'd rather not hear. Although, we did get a good laugh out of it a couple nights ago. Some guy was playing the same love song over & over. After about the 3rd time, we were cracking up. Rofl2

i ordered this sweater [express.com] last night. i saw it for the first time just last night. in bright jade.

and the cocoon cropped sweater/bolero.
Little miss practical. Girly Hopefully, some of that will rub off on me.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Maybe you should give it a try, it might just be my body type that it didn't look good on. :nod :

DH is a gamer too. He used to be really into modding games and works with someone on a game he is trying to release. His son moved to Canada and it's a great way for them to keep a bond, they play together a few times a week. Now my 13 year DD plays with them so it's good for all three of them. My younger DD and I aren't good at gaming so we shop. :lol :

Sooooo I have to buy something for my 13 yo DD to wear to an award ceremony. Why is shopping for her so hard! I look at dresses and think too short, too low cut, to trashy.....she is at the age where little girls dresses are to babyish and junior dresses are sometimes a little to teen for her. And what does one wear to an award ceremony anyway????? Help!
It sounds like we may have similar body tops, except you probably don't have the belly I have. Embarrassment I'm afraid that top would look the same on me as it does on you.

It's great that your DH can interact with his DS from so far away. Technology can be a great thing. It's good for the kids too.

I don't play games either. They always bored me. Dontknow

How about a cute sundress for your DD? As long as it has straps, it shouldn't look too old for her. I'm sure she wouldn't even look at dresses that are too young for her, so that shouldn't be an issue. laugh out loud

Oh goodness! People like that need some headsets! I don't need to hear what they're doing! But I guess I don't mind much about the music in the game, but yeah, I can see that it can get annoying! laugh out loud

My DH said, "That poor guy must have some serious relationship problems." I kind of felt bad for the guy, but we couldn't help but laugh that he kept playing the same song on a loop. LMAO

I was raised in a home where cussing wasn't allowed. I just don't like hearing it all the time. Some men on there need to buy a dictionary. They obviously can't hold a conversation w/o cussing every other word. shake head I try to be tolerant, because I know everyone wasn't raised like I was. After awhile, enough is enough.

Agreed! Potty-mouthed people don't jive well with me. Once in a blue moon is okay, especially if you're really pissed or something, but I don't need no sailor in the house!

Hey, do you guys remember the limited edition summer perfume, Very Sexy Now Beauty of Brazil, that VS released about 4 years ago? It's a little spicy, coconutty... Is there a dupe for that fragrance? I've been looking. The VS EDP is ridiculously expensive on eBay.

I remember that one! It had a square, faux-wood magnetic cap, right?

I haven't found a dupe for it. It was such a great summer fragrance.

//edit// OMG BIN on ebay is $98!? EEK!

I just got a VS order. One of the items was supposed a clearance BBV bra in Berrylicous w/Embellishements. What I received was an ugly cotton bra in black with Victoria's Secret written all over it. Annoyed Strangely, the label on the plastic bag appears to be for the bra I actually ordered. Confused

I just recently got a cami that is suppose to be pink but it is beige, the bag says the right thing.

I called VS CC because I never got my triple points for 3/17 purchase, the girl tried to tell me there were there but I could not see them and that they were part of the ones that were used to redeem for my RC. I told her the only ones I see are for my bra. She decides to give me the bonus points, says you will get 134 more points, I think I should have gotten 140 but I let it go.
