List post!

1. I got a Holiday Wishlist Swapthingy package from windiain (and Jake!) last night! Nummy chocolates, a bellydance scarf, hairsticks for decorating (the jeweled ones are definitely going in my hair this weekend), beady odds and ends, and a letter. Thank you, babes! It definitely made my night! :)

2. Speaking of, if you are doing the holiday wishlist and I might not have the link to yours, please give me the link!

3. I started Giftmas shopping! I haven't done a whole lot yet, but I at least know what I'm buying for who, and have made a couple of orders so far. Eee, I love buying presents. Keeping in the spirit of the handmade pledge, a whole slew of stuff is coming from Etsy.

4. I have to put in a massive bead order today. I got a commission to do some fun earrings, and searching for the right components has kept me more than occupied.

5. Dear Soap Box Co.-- please restock Villainess's Masala Smooch. It is my new favorite and I cannot live without it, and it's cold outside, darnit! I want my yummy chai tea scrub!

6. I am wearing an explosion of color today-- cerulean blue, spring green, rose pink. And it kinda works.

7. Dear Save-On-Crafts.Com-- I ordered lime green gerbera daisy heads, not yellow. YOU FAIL.

8. So the dress I was gonna buy for that fancy schmancy office party thing sold out in my size. See above re: fail. So I'm picking out two online backup dresses, and Ariel and I are going dress shopping Saturday morning for something suitably pretty. I refuse to buy a black dress. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

9. Busy but fun weekend ahead. I'm going back to my high school (Baltimore School for the Arts) to see this year's revamped production of The Nutcracker, I have a mountain of laundry and cleaning to do before Tex gets in, I have to practice, and then Flissy and I are performing on Sunday. Eeee!
