Yay! Ours are going out hopefully tomorrow...got to get them out soon before the spotties claim them!

Mine still hasn't shipped from the place I ordered it from. I am so mad. They stated that orders ship the next business day... I ordered on the 3rd. Grrrr... Can we have a small grace period?

I'm so sad, I can't believe I miss the swap again. I saw the topic but by time I realized it was for the new swap it was to late.

hey nana!!! Thomas and I are tracking ours....we sent it out Sunday and it should get to our surprise swapee tomorrow..infact it is in a shipping transit place where they live...yaya!!

Marci, see, you're tracking your gift that you *sent* already, but I'm still tracking my stash that I *ordered*!!!! Yours is a FUN tracking and mine is an anxiety attack tracking!! Gah!!!!

You are soooo right...but still it is like watching Santa online if I was a kid...hehe

Attention MP and Acorn...send Nana one paper bag ...STAT!!!

Breathe....breathe....breathe....

I'm still waiting for one of my orders to arrive too. They said Thursday or Friday, but now we're supposed to be having a storm on Thursday which might delay it (and another, worse one on Sunday...ugh....one of the perils of living in the Northeast). All the tracking info tells me is that it's somewhere in transit between CA and MA. That's an awful lot of geography! Everything else is all packed and ready but there were a couple of things in that package that I really wanted to include. It better get here in time.

oh ohoh I think mine might really get there today!!!

Alrighty... mine is in PA on it's way, finally. I hope it gets here in time to ship out Saturday!

I really want me swapee to get thiers today or tomorrow...theoretically, it should happen! They just have to tell me ASAP when they get it!

I 'think' mine got theirs. So I deemed mail gods to ship all things NOW.

I sent off mine today!!! Yay!!!! I borrowed the most noxious Sharpee to write the address at the post office--it was unbelievable. I am pretty sure it will still stink up the poor recipient's house!

I got mine today!!!!! Thanks so much Jen, P-Chan and Sammy!!! (And the kitties, too. ) It's been a non-stop playfest since we opened the box. DH is pretty sure that you hate me, but I really like the noise - it only bothers him.

It's funny - I've been so focused on getting my package ready to send out that I forgot I was getting a package. I was so surprised!

oh goodie! i'm glad you got it so quickly - i'm very impressed with USPS now!

Oh man...I just tracked the order I'm waiting for so that I can send my package out and it wasn't delivered because of the "adverse weather conditions"here. Now they're going to try to deliver tomorrow while I'm at work and they won't leave it here because no one will be here to sign. I'm going to be livid if I can't mail things out on Saturday because of UPS. I have nothing but trouble with UPS.

My first package was sent a few days ago and my second package was sent yesterday.

OMG!!!! We got ours today!!!!! From Alissa & Ella!!!! Thank you so, so much!! I can't believe they were able to shop for MP, because I had the stupidest questionnaire answers, ever. I'm so sorry that I put you through this, Alissa!!

We got a big, big snake, a duck (that quacks!), a groundhoggy dude, a lighted collar for the run-away-in-the-dark-MP, a bunch of replacement squeakers (GOOD call!), two lip moisturizers (which I ate for dessert, because they smelled like yummy food!!), and a couple of crazy cards, one each for me (from Alissa) and for MP (from Ella...who, I could swear, would get the "s" backwards but did not)! MP's card says, "It's so involved being me." That's right.

MP is in heaven. She went totally bonkers over the duck, because it has a quacky snorty squeak that's totally different from her other toys, and she has super "crazy eyes" throwing it and squeaking it. She already knocked over all my magazines on my coffee table swinging the snake around, and she loves sticking her nose in the groundhog "hole." She's totally going nuts. She keeps trying to put them all in her mouth but they won't fit!

I'm trying to get pictures but it is effing dark in this house! It's all super blurry and she won't sit still. I may have to wait until there's more natural light in the morning.

Ella said (on the card) that every girl needs a snake. I immediately thought of the dink and cracked up, but I think she meant *this* snake. HAHA!

Thank you SO much, Alissa/Ella!! I'm just as sorry as I am thankful for the awesome gift! I owe you one. Big.

I sent out my stuff today! They said it won't get there until like thursday though...

how cool!! I wanna see MP and her loot!!

Nana!! How dare you twist Ella's words!! Seriously, she's not that kind of girl at all. It's just an awsome toy!

I'm so glad that you guys liked it, I saw I got you, and was all excited...then I read the answers to the questions...and thought crap! I can't find anything for her!

We all love you, but you are hard to shop for!

Oh, the collar fits ok, right? I actually love it, its light up without saying 'traffic light'.

And I forgot to put in the note, the lip mousturizers are from Kristen Leigh Bell's makeup company (author of the aromatherapy for animals book). I've gotten many people addicted to them. All part of my evil plan

Oh you mean *you* didn't tell Ella to say that, knowing that *I* would think of the dink?!

It *is* an awesome toy!! MP loves flinging it and dragging it everywhere. She's fixated on the duck (it's a duck, right...or a pheasant...? I'm a greenie who cannot identify species) right now.

And yes! The collar totally fits! I've been meaning to get one for her, so it was PERFECT! And it's not like just one lightbulb charmy thing or whatever. It's the whole thing. Rocks!

I totally regret the questionnaire. Like, I've been thinking about it and apologizing profusely to my imaginary swappee every day. I had like 2 seconds to do it because I came in late on the swap, and I had no idea if my swappee would know us very well and I thought thorough-ish is better. Uggggggggggh. Embarrassed!!!!

Oh ya, Kristen Leigh Bell stuff--I've never gotten her cosmetics but I knew of it (from you!) and I have her animal book. I ate the whole thing already. Is that bad?

you ate it??

My last parcel arrived today, finally! Everything is all packed up (and then I went shopping again and had to open the box and repack ) and will be sent out tomorrow. Whew! I was so concerned that I was going to miss the deadline because of damn UPS.

I sent mine out today. Hopefully it won't take too long to arrive at its destination.

Mine arrived at its destination today but my swapee has not acknowledged receipt (on ODO) yet. Hope to hear some news soon

Mine is all packed and ready to make the deadline postmarked by.

I'm totally dying to read Nana's questionnaire responses now.

Me too

I sent mine out on the 11th and so far it looks like it hasn't made it out of the state yet! I hate waiting!

I sent mine out today, but I had to send it parcel post because I couldn't afford priority shipping. It's supposed to get there in 6 days. I forgot to get tracking and insurance, so I hope it gets there okay!!
