Oops - Sea, I hadn't checked out her SP for awhile, and now I see she does not have the shower gel listed. She may temporarily not have it in stock, but I have not seen word of it. I'll see what I can find out, and you can also email Alyce. I think she is swamped, but she does get back to each and every customer, though it might be a couple of days. I'll scout around in the other forum for now, though. :o) The Mist is verry nice as a linen freshener, the roll-on perfume and body cream are also winners.

Well, if you take note Meg and Hukd - We are now a 3some who do not care for the KK glazed donuts!! They were a fun novelty the FIRST time I had them but then when DH brought home a dozen as part of a gift I was thinking "ENOUGH ALREADY!" I would grumble..he should know by now that glazed donuts are NOT my favorite of any KIND! I remember being sooooooooo angry at him at the birth of one of the kids and told him I was craving donuts and what does he come home with I ask you? GLAZED and JELLY w/powered sugar.. GAH! My least favorite of all. My SIL (married to his bro) would commiserate that we thought they did it on purpose - getting the wrong kind of stuff at the store! LOL My favs are lately the chocolate on the top creme filled ones ...mainly I'm loving that chocolate!!! AND.... I love the old-fashioned kind - crisp on the outside w/powered sugar lightly sprinkled on the top - very plain, often sour dough and I will make an exception for jelly when it's the long kind that are crispy on the outside. My DD goes to Tim Hortons all the time for coffee - she & the finance love their coffee and I have one right around the corner, but haven't ever even tried it. Oh well.... just as well.. LOL I really DON'T NEED DONUTS... the echo from my thighs will confirm that... LMAO!

Tim horton's is known world-wide for their coffee. So many Canadians swear by it. I hate their donuts. They run out SO often, that there is almost NEVER the kind I like there. Personally, I don't feel they "replenish" enough. I went there at 10:40pm (at a 24hrs location), and they had 2 chocolate glazed, 4 toffee glazed, 4 honey dip, a bunch of maple iced ones, and some apple fritters. Oh, and one cruller. It was a friggin' JOKE. And it's always that pathetic. I live right in the city of Vancouver, on a busy street. It's not like this is some tucked out of the way location, that knows better than to make more. I should write and complain. I'm sure they lose SO MUCH business from people who are like "Oh I crave a coconut chocolate donut" only to go in, and they don't have it. 9 times out of 10, they don't have what I want. I WISH WISH WISH we had Krispy Kreme here. There is a single location super far away from me. Like 3.5 hours away by bus. So I've never tried one.

There are a couple KK places out here but way out in the boonies. Their donuts are pretty good, but I have one ONLY when someone at work stops by KK and brings in a couple boxes of them. They sure don't seem to want to get business. Dunkin Donuts seems like the quick n dirty donut place with lots of variety and too much sugar. The places near my work and home are usually well stocked for any sugar fix. I think Timmie's has something very addictive in their coffee because ALL the drive thrus have HUGE lineups, at least at rush hours. While on the bus, I have seen some pretty crazy driving and lines to get into Timmie's. I would not be a bit suprised to see cars stay put and block fire trucks and amubulances; Timmie addicts are scary. I am with Watching on the 'not needing donuts' but there are times I can't pass by a Saint Cinnamon without getting one bun even though I am pretty sure that it should count as my total intake for the day of food.

I finally received the hoodies. They are perfect.
What have we here? A new box for me?
Shadoe: Mmmm smells nice. Booboo: What's the big deal here? Is it safe?
I had to take them out of the box. She was trying to take them out herself with her nails.
Shadoe sizing up the box for comfort
Ain't life grand? A brand new box with paper and everything for Christmas!

This donut talk is driving me crazy. Personally, I don't care for either KK or DD -- but we have the best little bakery right here in town. Their long johns, apple fritters, cake donuts, turnovers, EVERYTHING is absolutely delicious! The kitties look thrilled with the new box! Wonder if you'll ever be able to get the CC out of it??!

Joely, I don't see that length of delivery time long at all, considering the time of year and all. Your invoice says the 7th, and the UPS pickup says the 12th. I received my notice they had been here on the 15th, and arranged for them to return on the 16th. That's not too bad at all, is it? As for fit, I am wearing the lighter one now and have had it on since I removed it from the cat's box they claimed. When it gets too warm, no problem - I just open up the window and let in some freezing air! Problem solved! The fit is perfect. The sleeves come exactly to my wrist and the cuffs are wide enough so that I can fit the sleeves of another sweater underneath. The body is nice and roomy as well so that I can fit a thick sweater under it. The bottom cuff on the body fits snugly around my hips and the length of the body comes just below my hip bones. The zip does leave an opening at the neck but I prefer that because I can wrap a scarf around my neck or I could get one of those neckbands that skiiers wear and the hoodie will not feel stuffed around the neck. My favorite thing about the hoodie is the hood. I like that there is ample length and depth to the hood with the edge being tighter and coming over my forehead nicely. Even though the neck is open, the wicked winds can't blow the hood off because it's snug over the head and hugs the forehead. I was out yesterday in the cold blowing weather and noticed that my head did not feel the wind at all which seemed odd because knitted items have holes. This material is just as wind stopping as the hood on my leather jacket. I think this stuff would make a great lining for jackets and coats! You know how some silky type linings are cold? Well, let's just replace them with these hoodies! The 2nd hoodie I have not even tried on; I am saving it for a special occasion or something. I have deemed it to be my Sunday Best Hoodie. Teach, Shadoe loves boxes and bags, so whenever I come home with a bag or box, I must empty them and offer them to her. If I just put them down, Shadoe will start to rip into the box or bag on her own. I got several pics of her through the opening process. She sniffs the red paper, the white paper, the sweaters each one, and then tried to remove them from the box with her paws so she could check out the inside of the box. If I had not, Shadoe would have tried to bury under them to be in the box or just laid on top of them. Booboo sits on the far side of the room and watches. Once she sees that it's safe and Shadoe has checked for bad stuff, she sneaks over to the parcel. Shadoe makes Booboo interested by her curiosity and inspections of things. Bonza, I did get a bun like above, and like with anything edible, I had to cut a little piece off and put it in a bowl for Shadoe. She loved the cream cheese topping - it was the first part to go!

LOL Hukd - You ALWAYS make me laugh!! Next time you're going to be in the Greece area (yeah Hukd and I are WORLD travelers! ROFL.. uh..nah...just the name of my town!) give me a call and maybe we can go hunt down some of those chocolate topped donuts! Have a Dunkin Donuts right down the street, but the BEST donuts I love are from what was an old dairy, now donut/icecream/whatever little place called Buckmans. Best old-fashioned donuts EVAH! Shadoe Those kitty in the box photos just make me smile and smile! Actually looking at those pretty kitties just make me smile! Misha LOVES bags and boxes, too. My old cats loved paper bags, but Misha climbs in plastic ones and scares me that she'll suffocate herself one of these days! My camera wasn't working at the time, but I WISH I could have gotten a picture of her when I was making the Cheshire Cat costume for my son a couple months ago. I look for her and where is she? IN THE BIG BAG on the TABLE that had ALL of the fabric in it!! She was all comfy and looking at me like - "So, I like it in here!" LOL She's now upstairs WAILING since I think she wants to get into my son's room and the door is closed. Honest, sometimes I just can't figure out why she's wailing! My "other" cat.. LOL

This is a double post from the "other" thread, but in case someone looks at this one first, I'm putting it here, too. Sorry!! I need help quick! Is the "new" slate a lot smaller than the "old" slate, specifically in a size medium? I've told the seller I want the large if it's the new size, but I'm afraid it might be too big, so I need to confirm so I can change it back to medium. My DD is a pain.. she's not that big, but likes things big. Large could end up being HUGE on her and she might like it that way. On the other hand, she might think medium is too small if fitted...but maybe with the way they run and how they're stretchy, it won't be???!!!! Yeah, she's my pain in the butt to fit kid! LOL GAH!! Now all 3 of us are going to be triplets in the slate..LOL I don't think we've EVER had things all the same. The girls - yes, when they were little, but not since either one of those girls were less then double digits in age!

Watching, I think she may be wailing because you guys have done something wrong! Shut the door on me? Open it now! I want to go in there! I have to make sure I don't leave the plastic grocery bags lying around because too often one of the cats will go in the bag and then try to come out the handle. I don't need to tell you that Shadoe is too FAT to get through the handle so what follows is a loud thrashing around the place with the plastic bag around her waist, Booboo following her. Booboo will be wailing all the while - I suspect she is saying Shadoe you idiot! You did it again! When it happens to Booboo, she gets herself out but then stares at me like it was my fault. They really did get lots of fun out of the box from my hoodies. All morning Booboo sat in it.

Shut a door? Around here, Watching, that is cause for much chatter. It is rare that we do it, because you know who is really in charge in this house! And Shadoe - I can see who runs the show at your house as well - all those "offerings". Too cute! And it's amazing the mileage we can get out of boxes for kitties.

Bonza, you are correct. I am just the human who provides the home and food and entertainment. Apparently I frequently do a crappy job at the last two. Shut a door? It's a good thing I live alone because if I try to shut the bathroom door, I will quickly see two sets of front paws under the door, trying to get in. Yeah, wailing too. Shame on me! I think alot of my 'catering' to the cats is out of guilt at being away at work every day. Even though they likely care less if I am around, I still feel badly. Shadoe loves my robe and hoodie, so I have given up trying to hide them. The robe must be laid along the end of the bed so that Shadoe can sleep well. She watches too, and promptly lays on it once I am done. Yes, I am sufficiently well trained.

Shadoe - if I arrange the CC™ throw correctly on my side of the bed, Precious & Bonza will leave just enough space for DH to sneak onto his side for a rare Sunday group nap.
And you really made me laugh about closing the bathroom door -- when anyone uses our powder room, guess who is waiting for them when they open the door? Good friends find it amusing and I hesitate to think what a first-timer does when Precious & Bonza, like Wal-Mart greeters, are stacked up at the powder room door... if they are not amused and they don't care for cats - oh, well.... oops!

Bonza - there is no way I could put a throw on my bed - I would end up sleeping on the floor. It's bad enough now with the robe at the foot of the bad - I am allowed to use only the upper half of the bed. Yes, if I am very careful and move very very slowly, on a good day I am allowed to sneak maybe one foot under the robe end of the bed, but only if it does not disturb either Booboo or Shadoe. Yes, I have learned my lessons well; the wicked looks I have received in the past like WE were here first so you've got SOME nerve taught me to behave myself in any future attempts at sleeping on a part of their bed.
Shadoe may look half asleep, but she has a good grip on my leg, daring me to move it.
I may have lost the foot of the bed and the robe, but I know have my pillows back at the head of the bed!

May I say, it is not just cats that lie in wait outside the bathroom door? We have a border collie who has not allowed us to venture to the restroom alone in over 10 years! Fortunately, she's a SMART dog, so she lays just outside the door, but upon occasion she Must come in and Check on us. It is especially important that she monitor our bathroom activities if we have gone in there while she was outside. Gave me rather a jolt this morning when I was in the shower and a little black poochie head appeared through the door! Once she saw I was not drowning nor in need of any help, she returned to her spot outside the door, but heaven forbid we spend more than two minutes in there unattended! What makes this Most Weird is that the aforementioned poochie has been deaf for the past 7 mos. yet she STILL knows exactly when someone is in the bathroom! Must be her 6th sense.
