New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

i thought you beat me. i gues you didn't.
how many do you have krusty?

Quote from nerdicus :
when did you order it? hope mine ships soon too.

for xmas DH got me a box at a local UPS store. hopefully this means no more package issues! (and no more dealing with annoying coworkers) i'm going to slowly transition all of my mail there - we will probably be moving sometime in the near future and it'll be easier to transition mail if i change everything to the box now.
earlier today.

dude, don't return $5 shirts. it's an insane deal.

i may exchange some of the double v ones for those dolman sleeve ones. they are comfy. i may even get some for my mom, tho i suspect they'll be too trendy for her with the weird sleeve.

Silly me. Like nerdicus mentioned, there is a drop down menu that shows my transaction monthly lolll I called them up and the rep will add my points back to my account. Took 10 minutes on the phone. She mentioned something about the last digit on the transaction number is being crossover with others so it shows up on the wrong account (something like that). She reassured that our private info isn't being compromised on this.

ugh great. i just checked my next account and all my points disappeared. instead, there's a return from somewhere in NY. : :

this is not reflecting well on express. i don't have the time to sort this out!

i think this happened to others as well. has anyone gotten any answers as to why next is so screwy? i anticipate a phone call to them but i thought i'd ask here first. work will be busy for the next week or so, so i won't get to call them.
I hope you get your points straightened out. It's impossible to keep up with how many points you should have at Express.Annoyed My history disappeared too. I saw your tip later in the thread, so I checked again. For Dec., I have 3 orders showing. All are from Oct. Confused I had many more orders in Oct. plus a lot more in Nov. & Dec. At the moment, my account is still adding points. I hope they don't mess with it & take any away. I have 16,280 now. When all my orders are added, I'll need to figure out how much I need to spend to get to 17,500. I'm going to try to make myself stop shopping for awhile after that.

Yay, for ordering the luggage. bounce If you missed it, you would have regretted it.

On last Saturday my DH had a BBQ Competition at our house, he had some people come to judge. One of the Judges brought his three kids and his wife, she ended up judging I guess because someone else was not able to do it. There kids were all boys, one was an infant 5 wks old and the other two boys were around 6 and 8. They two older were fine outside playing in the dirt, but they brought the dirt in the house. Then later the Dad got them to wrestling in my livingroom and walked off and the boys continued to wrestle/ruff house. I kept kindly saying so the dad would hear, be careful so you don't hit the fireplace, in hopes he would get them to stop, but no, he just let them go and so did the mom, she was always to busy with the baby or judging. I told my husband next time tell them no kids because our house is not set up for them, but it is more because they did not watch them. A couple people here that day just keep saying they are boys. Personally I would never let my kids be like that at someone else's house. Am I wrong??

i also went to sephora yesterday and bought that perfume sampler thing, and then went ahead and used the voucher on the chloe. may as well! i was a little annoyed tho, bc they gave me my vib packet with the 10% coupon and wouldn't let me use the coupon on the transaction. i don't anticipate buying anything in store for awhile... considering rebuying with the coupon and returning. guess i'll think about it.

I wouldn't let mine act like that unless we are at the grandparents and that's not really my fault because they get ds hyped up playing.

that's always hard, bc it's someone else's kids. boys always tend to be crazier too, especially brothers who are close in age. it's one of the reasons i said no kids at my wedding - a coworker has 2 boys who are very close in age and i couldn't guarantee they wouldn't be crazy at the wedding and i didn't want it to ruin my day.

i personally think it was the parents' job to keep the boys in check. they are guests and should act like it. but i know there will be people who don't agree with it - at the end of the day i don't know who is right and i think the only way to keep it from happening again is to not invite those ppl or to not allow kids.

if i invited them back i'd make sure the party was outdoors. i'm not allowed to have ds's bday parties at home anymore because i went psycho cleaning for his first bday party. dh said from now on we're going somewhere and paying them to do that because i'm crazy.

Anyone tried the Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder? http://www.prescriptives.com/index.tmpl There's a code for 20% off. I'm considering ordering it to wear over foundation.

I think parents allowing their kids to run wild at someone else's home is inappropriate. Parenting is a job that doesn't allow for breaks. When DS was young, we allowed him & his friends to do whatever they wanted. At the time, our home was set up for that. We'd just take the pictures off the walls & remove anything that could hurt them if they fell using the kitchen tile for a skating rink. (Yes, we've always been pushovers. Embarrassment) Our house was the only place DS was allowed to play that way, so the kids always wanted to stay here instead of at their house. laugh out loud Now that he's older, it would drive me crazy to have to worry about moving everything so they didn't get hurt. Like you, I love kids & don't mind them having a good time. If they accidentally break something, oh well. We can replace it, if we need to. Rough housing in the middle of the living room is too much though. If they got hurt, the parent's would probably blame you. Rolleyes2

Thanks ladies. Like I said outside I had no problem with them playing in the dirt outside because I could just wash it down, they even made a cute little island out of stuff they found, rocks, sticks, etc. I guess expecting them to ask their kids not to come in the house with shoes with dirt on them was expecting to muchWink. I told DH next time only one parent can judge. Maybe even say no kids because this is a competition and we don't want them to accidentally get hurt. Don't get me wrong, I really do like kids, just don't want to have to watch someone else's kids for several hours unexpectedly when I have other stuff to do myself.
