BTW~Does anyone own Coach bracelets? I have my eye on a few and received a 25% off coupon in the mail yesterday. Oooooooh, fun! Hehehe..

thank you so much! it is sweet that you guys care about how i am doing. members off my own family dont even care about my weightloss

and i have never had a coach bracelet! but if you get one you need to show us pictures! and the coupon must be very tempting! maybe you can get one if you sell your tarrots today?

i am now at home. i have cleaned the house but not as well as i usually do! i prfer doing it first thing and not in the afternoon. i know i am weird! i also got a nice package of l'occitaine stuff which my mum sent to me which really made my day! how sweet of her to do that! my new laptop hasnt arrived yet though! i swear i cant wait anymore! i'm too excited for it!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~You have our complete support, but we love you no matter what! Still, you have worked hard to lose that amount of weight so I am proud of you! I promise if I get the bracelets, which looks likely, I will show them off! I just sold another bunch of decks for 100.00 again. It took a mere 23 minutes after posting them up. I love this! Now I have to make up more boxes and start wrapping again. I've been wanting to do this for a few years now and am so glad I am finally diving in and getting the job done! I swear if someone could come to my house I would easily sell off about 200 decks and make a mint, then hit Coach, Sephora, MAC, etc.

A girl can dream, right?

That's great Debi that you are selling them so quickly. I think I would be quite tempted to up the price since people are jumping on them like that, makes you wonder if you're selling too cheap

That is exactly why mine are selling and everyone else is not! I always put the price lower. I've been selling for years and have a good reputation for keeping my prices reasonable. Especially in this economy. No one is going to dish out hundreds of dollars at a time unless you offer them something they cannot refuse. Yes, a few people will take these and turn around, selling them for higher on ebay, but I don't care. My goal is to get some money back, clean my collection out fast and furious and get it all organized before summer! By the time I am done I should have sold off about 3000.00 of decks, but that is a small dent still. I have single decks that I paid 34.95 for that are now worth 1000.00 each. It is ridiculous what people will pay for tarot that is out of print. I never saw it as an investment. I collected as a hobby and reader. But it is fun to finally be getting this done. It is like a huge burden being lifted off my back because we realized we needed to insure my collection. Now I can sell a lot off and then insure the rest.

you raise a good point! maybe try upping the amount by $20 or something to see if people still snap them up so quickly. it never hurts right?

i have had a nice evening so far. me and nick had a long chat when he got home about his work. somebody had been taking photos of the rockstar guys and making up rumours about what games they were working on which created a huge security alert! turns out it was some guy who works in the building opposite! apparently he got a massive telling off from his boss - this same guy posted up all this crap on a games forum about the rockstar guys! he even said they all smelled like they havent washed in months! how rude! nick washes everyday thanks very much! but it shows just how good the security is there. within minutes of this guy posting crap rockstar new york had been alerted!

 

[shadowaddict]

Lou, that sucks about the dude at Nick's work. Some people just can't play by the rules or the rules don't apply to them.

I finally got my butt on the treadmill today, not much but it's a start. I figure any better than none. I guess even if I don't eat great I've done something.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Well! When does the Quite Cute collection come out, because I am going to be glued to the computer to place my order. I missed out on the blush I wanted from the Jeanus collection and am so bummed out. I had it in my cart, went to do a few things and come back and it was sold out. Grrrrrrr. I consoled myself with 3 creme blushes, Riveting Rose l/s, a few brushes and making up a 15 e/s palette mostly of greys and blues.

I am praying a bunch of MO's will come in tomorrow because I have 4 boxes all packed up and ready to go. And so much more to sell off. I just sold another 100 off of quirky themed decks. Now I am about to get into some real collector's stuff and selling the Connoisseurs Box of Tarot! At least the first one! lol Beautiful decks, and I never use them. Time to send them on their way! Bye bye decks!

ShaadowAddict...that is what I need to do. Get back on the treadmill. And walk around the neighbourhood like I used to do several times a day and after supper with hubby. It was fun and we got out of practice, especially when it is either too humid or snowy/icy out, although we did take a fun walk a few months ago when temps were around zero and all the Christmas lights were up. It was so pretty out and tons of stars!

eta~I am so excited! I just sold off another 200.00 worth of decks. I am on a roll! Gracious!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

A tarot card collection would be interesting! I have one deck

That sounds peaceful! Which one? I have over 600. It is insane and overwhelming!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

You know, I'm not sure. I haven't used them in years and years and couldn't even find them right now if I wanted to. Some of them are so gorgeous though!

[Miss QQ]

^^ Hope you had something to fill your stomach!

*Joins in the group hug*

That was crazy, those people who took photos and spread malicious lies.

My mum likes to clean the house first thing in the morning too, and also does her cooking in the morning. So you are not alone.

Yay for all the Bimbos who are exercising! We are all getting fit! I had a swim yesterday and the wind was very cold although the sun was up, so the water was cold too.

Debi, congrats on selling more cards! All the money! Have fun spending it!

yup! i had a pot of porridge this morning which was nice! and the for lunch i have had a roll with feta cheese in it. For dinner i am not sure what to have because i am going out with a friend and there will be snacks - all healthy!

and well done on going swimming! i love to swim but there is no pool near me!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Hey Gang! Another cloudy day here in New England. Blah! Lou~That is insane about your husband's work situation. That guy is nuts. I hope things get smoothed over. No one needs that kind of foolishness in their lives. And good for you on the porridge. Sticks to your ribs and keeps you full for a long time! Have fun at the dinner tonight!

Sadly no money orders came in today, which is rather frustrating. I can't put up any more collections until these have gone out and been delivered across the country. I now have 5 boxes waiting to go out. I just hope no one pulls a trick on me and backs out. I hate it when that happens and usually offer a waiting list for others. I didn't do that for these particular boxes. Grrr. I have so much more to clear out.

Once I do get everything out I also get to make a major decision. How much will I keep and how will I store them? If this collection becomes really small, that opens up the door of moving or selling at least 1 bureau or a lingerie chest, and that means....space for a vanity! With natural lighting...right by a window, plus my mirror light! So, there is hope here! Of course, when I am 60 or 70 I may definitely not want a vanity, nor look at myself in a mirror.... lol

MAC is driving me crazy. I ordered stuff, had to take out stuff they put in and I never did, checked and rechecked before sending. Then I forgot to ask for 2 day shipping. So I contacted them but they would not speed the shipping up.

And my Sephora order is just sitting in the warehouse. I bet anything they ran out of Naked Palettes and are waiting for the next bunch to be made before sending me my stuff. I am steaming!

Something has to work for me in the next 24 hours or I am going to get very grouchy! On a happier note, I love MAC Blackberry e/s with Shale and a pink and Vapour. And Violetta lips. A soft goth look. Come and get me, Johnny Depp. Hehehe...

 

[LMD84]

sorry about all the delivery issues you are having Debi and sorry i cant reply with a long message. i have had a busy evening with a friend and now nick is back home and we are about to have an early night and watch a movie in bed together! but i will chat properly to everybody in the morning! good night guys!

lol Been there, done that! I am sure everyone will send them in. I know for a fact that 4 of them have already sent out their MO for certain, so no concerns.1 customer I have not dealt with so maybe he needs a reminder! Yes, he is male. And you know alll about them! Hehehe...

I should be dusting. I should be doing a lot of things. Instead I am playing. And washing MU brushes. Which works for me. I am sleeepy! But I love Violetta l/s! And I can't wait for MAC to send me all my lovely greys to make up a new palette. Hurry up mail!!

 

[JennsJewelz]

Debi, you look lovely, as always!!! I'm not nearly as brave as you or Lou - I couldn't pull off Violetta!

That sucks about your orders!! I had that happen to me with my crackle nail polish the other day - made me so mad! They held my entire order for weeks waiting for a whole new batch of the product to be made! At least I got it in the end and not my nails look cool:



The effect makes me think of dinosaur eggs. Like I've ever seen one. But still! lol

I got my MAC order in today just as I was coming in the door! I got Pink Cult blush, and 3 of the new Sheen Supreme lipsticks - Ultra Darling, Insanely It and Bare Again I'm excited to play with them tomorrow morning!

Jerome and I have a night of lots of homework ahead of us - just waiting for dinner to finish cooking, then we'll dine, hang out at Starbucks for a while and get some work done, then come home again and finish up everything else!

 

[ElvenEyes]

The nail polish is awesome, Jen! I love it! I have to try and get some. I think it would be such a fun look with my jean capris in the summer! I love that colour! Violetta is amazing. I really didn't think it would look good on me, and I did put some gloss over it from the Lightly Bright (??) collection to make it glitter a bit! I am so jealous that you got Pink Cult. It is completely out here and I am depressed! Figures that the only time I can get a pink blush it is gone. Same happened with Mighty Aphrodite. Sold in a flash. I wish they would take the hint that people are really looking for more paler pink blushes.

I got out to the mall this evening and played. Nothing from MAC. It was so odd to go in, look, leave empty handed. But I made up for it at Sephora. No teens, very quiet, Debi got to play! I got MUFE-ED! I bought 2 HD foundations (110 and 115), 2 HD blushes (4 and 10) and wanted more but they were out of a lot of things. So I bought some NARS and Urban Decay goodies (will put up pics tomorrow) and then went to Nordstrom for Bobbi Brown. Happy to get Antigua bronzer and 2 l/s, but her blushes are so tiny it is ridiculous. Same with her lips gloss. Teeny weeny packaging. I had almost bought that palette of hers online from Sephora but I saw it in person and just laughed at how tiny the e/s's are. 4 uses and it will be gone! So, not impressed! Then I found a few goodies at Coach....

Now I need to settle down in bed with Pride and Prejudice. I decided to reread it. All this talk of Colin Firth sent me back to relive the wet shirt scene....

 

[BeckyBenett]

you girls really make my day.. i adore coming to work and starting my day reading posts put up by your guys..

lou: congrats on losing weight! i just started running like 2 days ago to lose some weight too! im at my heaviest now so im a little down about that.. my entire body is now aching though. need a massage terribly! i understand how difficult it is to make the effort though. like today, i probably have to talk myself into gg to the gym again after work when all I really want to do is head home and sleep. So keep going Lou! But as Debi said, dont tire yourself out!

What did your mum get your from l'occitaine? Ive always wanted to try their products but they are really expensive here. So I just cant bring myself to spend money (which I could have used on mac instead.. heehee)

debi: ure having so much fun! i love reading your hauls.. i get so excited when i see photos of pple's purchases! not to sure why, but im so happy for you! it sounds like you had tons of fun going MU shopping! cant wait to see pics of the haul! wondering what you got from NARs and UD! I agree with you about the BB blushes though. They are tiny but it would be nice to have some in my makeup collection. Just because I like to see different blushes put together. But its just not worth the money. Which BB palette are you referring to? I was just considering getting one. I only use her concealer and eye cream, which I'm in love with. What did you get from Coach?! Curious...

well im heading off for my lunch break now. take care girls!

 

[shadowaddict]

Debi, stalk the MAC site Pink Cult says coming soon, guess they are re-stocking.

Oh Colin and that wet shirt,

what a nice dream. must pull ot P&P and watch again soon.

Jenn-the nail polish is so cute, way too young for me but very cool.
