Okay, make sense. I just asked the person working on the docks that I drop stuff on about the avg ship times cause I figured they actually work with packages and know. I guess I have next Monday to actually be concerned. Phew!
Sure thang hug You know you're not Crazy , 'cause I've been checking more often than you. I dropped something off recently with a postage dated 2 days prior and I'm terrified my stupid PO will try to send it back to me. They're such jerks Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

USPS are usually jerks. I'm lucky to have a sort facility near me so I avoid all contact with the front desk and drop it off at the back. I've had stuff sent back when it's under weight. Crossing my fingers. Nothing yet.

That is exactly where it's from vomit

A good substitute for emu oil is squalane which comes from olive oil.

I just got the 2 1/2" Relaxed Denim Short in Medium http://www.express.com/2-12-relax.../index.pro from clearance. I ordered size 0 & 2, because the reviews said they run large. They definitely do. The 0 is a little big on me, but I really like them. Size 2, my usual size, was way too big. Unlike some reviews, I don't look like I'm packing boyfriend style. Wink They're no shorter than the 3 1/2" VS shorts. Keep the 0, Return the 2.

I went to express yesterday (which seems to be a regular stop for me), and I feel like I got really lucky. I had a $15 off purchase store coupon. I also had a $10 reward in my account, but I'm never in a big hurry to use rewards. I went to the sport section and saw a pair of plain black crop pants with a foldover top in XS...the best part is that they were clearanced to $19.99 - 40%. Perfect for my reward. Then, I picked up a pair of black yoga pants for $34.90 - 40% (sport clearance). However, those were also on clearance for $19.99 - 40%. So, I grabbed a different pair of black yoga pants for $39.90 - 40% sport clearance that I was able to use my $15 purchase coupon on. I felt so lucky for finding these hidden clearance yoga pants!

Anyway, after the reward, $15 purchase coupon, and discounts, I ended up paying $23 for 3 pairs of plain black yoga pants. I'm pretty excited, and I like the express yoga pants more than the VS ones. I wore the cropped pair to boxing yesterday, and I really like the way the breathed. I <3 express!

Weird! Maybe they do it differently for different accounts. Mine looks like the one Anni described, where things just don't end up right. GH, it looks like there's a problem with your bonus points : (
I don't have a problem getting my regular points, but I've had a few problems with bonus points. It's probably not even worth bothering with this time. They were very generous with me last time, so that probably makes up for the errors this month.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
So I took a look at the other stuff you wanted to wear with the bracelets and if you do that, I think everything might be a little too loud, if you wanted to go more towards the muted end. I think that you can do one multi-color accessory and then the others either bracelets or necklace or necklace and earrings could be something that is not so loud and preferably in one of the multicolors. I know you like matching jewelry, and usually I don't think twice cause I think different colored metals look weird not matched. But since there's this many colors, you may want one standout piece and the others more subtle so that all three aren't fighting for attention. Just my 2 cents : )
You talked me into it. Now, I'm back to my same bracelets & earrings I always wear. So much for expanding my horizons. laugh out loud The necklace will probably be the focal piece, & I don't really need any more attention drawn to that area. Blush

I'm still having a hard time grasping the idea of a statement piece of jewelry. I think the matching thing must be generational. When I was young & someone bought us jewelry, we always received matching necklace & earrings. For me, it wasn't ever costume jewelry, so I don't know if people wore it back then or not. We always chose to complement jewelry not focus on one piece. Your face (& hair in the 80s LMAO) was supposed to be the focal point. I noticed my niece, who is only a couple years younger than me, bought her DD matching Dolphin necklace & earrings, when she was here visiting. Maybe, it's our age. Dontknow Ideally, I'd like to have earrings that are very similar to the necklace. No gemstones, discs., beads, etc, just simple like the necklace. Anyway, I'm going to order the necklace, the bracelet kurpee recommended yesterday & add another piece to satisfy the B2G1. Thanks so much for all your help. Blowkiss

I hope they find an effective substitute for him in case he needs it. hug

Nice deal! High Five I was tempted to try their yoga pants for wearing around the house, but I'm afraid they'll be way too long.

those look cute! i like the trouser cut of the pockets. Smilie

reading the reviews it sounds like they wouldn't work for me - i don't think i have skinny legs and i usually prefer my shorts to have wider leg openings. (i'm trying to talk myself out of placing another order kuz i've placed too many this week).

on a different note, i stopped by sephora yesterday and tried the velvet nail polish [sephora.com]. it looked pretty cool until i washed my hands. then it just never fluffed back up... probably because i have a thing for washing my hands often, so my nail probably wasn't fully dry when i washed them. i don't think it would work for me... i'm not sure when i would be able to wait for the polish to fully dry without washing my hands. esp since you can't really do a fast-dry top coat. (unless you put on the top coat, then sprinkle on the velvet? Scratchchin)

big drawer can hold big palettes. heavier items must be on the bottom. Attachment 1385888
i have it now as 4 small drawers and 2 large. i think the original config is 3 small + 2 large. i mix-and-matched with other sets (i bought 3 and use others for other things)

they were iirc $15 orig price but i got them on clearance at 50% off.
I like! I do have a set up kinda like that, but only one drawer has cosmetics. I have six of the large size stacked in one of the walk-ins. Here is the line-up:

Top - Air freshners (Glade, Febreze, AirWick fans, plug-ins, refills, etc) and Command hooks FULL
2nd - Cosmetics, Sunglasses,
3rd - Athletic socks, Workout gear (bras, tops, capris, shorts, skirts) FULL
4th - Slipper socks (a ton!), dress socks FULL
5th - Office supplies FULL
6th - Folders of who knows what...I need to clean it out, but it is so low that I really do not want to use it anyway.

The top one is too high, which is why I put the air freshners in it. I am usually very organized, but I also have a problem with letting things go. I rationalize that "I may need _______ one day". Now, I am telling myself if I have not used it since I moved here...I DO NOT NEED IT!!!!

So today is Operation Get Rid of This Sh__ that You have Used in Years to Make Room for the Things You Want to Keep. Let's see what happens.

The Red Shelving Unit I posted yesterday...should I put my VS catalogs in one of the totes???

Plug the Del Con # into the Track & Confirm on the website. There will be an option for USPS to email all future movements of said #. This way you will not have to constantly check yourself.
