I Just Can't Walk Away

I believe that at some point I promised pictures/babbles of my slightly insane nail polish adventure this past fall. It's taken me forever because turns out, working straight on through the holidays with no additional days off while everyone else in the universe has vacation will make you want to kill other people and yourself. I mean, who knew, right. Also, I keep forgetting that my camera died so I must rely on the kindness of my phone and as you will see, that is a stupid idea and I should get a new camera because holy fuck, these are garbage.

We'll be bouncing around because some I've already used, some I'm about to use, and some are just random.

( Pictures aplenty. Shitty, but they exist. )
Sales are dangerous, apparently.

Huh. I overslept this morning so my schedule is all out of whack. Mwerp. We've got a variety of things to blather on about though, so assuming I don't keep sneezing every five seconds, let's get down to business to defeat the Huns.

I got tired of waiting for AG to get back to me (which, let's be honest, they weren't going to do at this point) so I posted to their FB page and they called me about the points snafu. The woman I spoke to was very nice, but spent the first five or so minutes trying to convince me that my account was off, but not by the number of points I thought. Like it was off by 30-something points and not a 130-something. I broke out my Math and Reasoning and was initially told no... but then she started looking closer and eventually she seemed ready to bump me up to 130 or so, which was still off (seriously, I gave you the math, madame) but as she was about to do that she eventually came to nearly the same number I did. She said 173 and I say 174 but I was willing to let that one point go because dude, it's one point. My account still doesn't say the right amount but I'm giving them 24 hours or so before I flip. Self, as of right now you have 39 points.

My CM order has shipped, though I think it's more like a pre-ship in that they've alerted Fedex but it's not going to move until tomorrow at the earliest. I do wonder if maybe that's part of why today's Daily Deal is so lame- to give them time to get their CM orders out without there being a huge crush of additional orders coming in.

Speaking of Daily Deals, in case you didn't want to click the link from yesterday (day before? whenever), or you're one of those whose device can't get the site to load before 34 years pass, here's what's coming:
( Deals for those who ponder. )

Let's see. Oh, speaking of CM, I actually did some shopping this year. Normally I don't because I'm terrible at such things, but the stars aligned in such a way that I managed to knock out a few gifts for people. Huzzah!

Bought Mums some stuff after I finished my AG shopping, snagged the golden sparkle AG outfit on ebay with a gift card (huzzah!), bought my brother's present via Target (normally his gift is dead last because he doesn't hand over a list until Dec 20th at the earliest) and learned that if you flip through bedding online long enough, it all blurs together and looks like nothing at all. Much like when you repeat a word over and over til it loses all meaning.
And I bought a couple of little things elsewhere online and we'll see if they get here in time to send them out for gifts. Must be vague because a) don't want to get my own hopes up and b) someone reading this at some point might be getting surprise mail if I ever get off my ass and hit the PO. It's possible that I'll get them in time but they'll be a disappointment.

Prior to CM, work had the Maybelline Vivid Matte liquid lipstick mini set on sale for $15 and after my discount and coupon it was about $12 for 20 lipsticks. I finally cracked into it last night only to discover I only have 19 colors since I wound up with a duplicate. Naturally I noticed it *after* I tried one. So if someone was dying to try out Sinful Stone, lemme know and it's yours. The only reason I don't think I'll bother taking it back and swapping it out (aside from trying one already) is because I'm pretty sure the color I'm missing is one that's gotten consistently horrible reviews. And if it's not that color (too lazy to go upstairs and figure it out right now), it's another one that I was going to write off anyway. Some of them are just colors I'll never wear, or at least never wear outside the house.

Yesterday I finally took down almost all the Halloween/fall stuff. Still have the wreath up because I feel bad that it only gets to be up for like, two weeks (because I love my Halloween one so much I don't take it down til halfway through November) so it's still up for the time being. When I next feel like braving the shed, I'll swap it out for the Christmas one.


Also, when did MH Ghostbusters Frankie show up at Target? I'm not complaining, mind you, just curious.
