Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? oh man yes yes i go, i go through the pampered chef lemon seasoning like it was easy to get hold of. We are getting to point where we can grill again so nice un hot spicey seasonings would be a hit here (both hubby and i have tummy trouble with to much heated spices)
Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? ALLERGIC to TEA ( i can have herbal stuff and i really like them) Hubby has developed a new thing for mint teas so he would like any of those
Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) Humm I like to snack on salty cereals (i eat ALL the chex out of chex mix drives hubby crazy)
So i got behind on the thread again, 17 pages behind. So i am doing a great catch up today.

I hope this answers your question, or maybe its to much. I like Imps to try things its why i have the hordes of them.
Damn damn damn, I didn't need to see the Castle Pilot really I DONT NEED A snarky TV show to watch. So witch i thought i should mention i have been adding to the great WANT list of doom at amazon. Its become a kinda wonder land of things i want. So i will at some point NEED the rest of this show. It has fabulous music, to go with snarky dialog, its all things love. But i have only now seen two episodes the first and one some where in season 1 (it was about a girl rocker's death) so i can't do any fandom or anything like that YET.
Well the oldest just woke and puked her dinner down the stairs, I was thinking ti would be an early night for me. No such luck.
okay i admit it I caved, i couldn't deal with the caffineless of my existence any more. So i am back to almost full speed. I am going to try weening myself back instead of the abrupt stop this time.
I will be posting to the IGT thread about the girls fairy booklets. They are Frothing to get to them and i keep telling them they have to help me get a place cleaned off to do it.
I am almost 25 pages behind on the SW thread due to my weekend in the fog. I will slog through it today and hope to get to the minty catch uped ness by tonight, but it may be tomorrow.
Sorry witchie to worry you. I have to admit i am a bit bi-polar when i am up i am bouncy when i am down i m rather well dead sloth like. I have been trying to give up caffeine again this past week i spent mostly in bed trying to be conscious for anything I HAD to do. it was not pretty. My head ache was almost gone this morning so with some errands and having to take the little one to school ia m a little beter today.
I plan on tackling the thread later today, i am sure after a weekend away I am WAY behind.
All right i have been poked. today was traumatic so i am behind on most things. But i think the question you want answered is the whole kidlets costume thingy. i am nto against it, i am really leaning towards make both of them faeries or princesses. I haven't gotten stuck on EITHER yes but that the lean. if you want to send them something for it then Go on, if they dont' end up with it for their costumes i am sure it will be put to use in their dress up clothes.
i am not really up to anymore tonight. I will try to do better tomorrow.
just so you know with you around i have been on etsy WAY more than i think is healthy.
9/15/10
How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? I am not a knick nack person unless its something of one on my anime and even then I try very hard to ONLY buy things I can't LIVE without.

I have favorite mangas I am a weakling when it comes to pretty pretty boys. So on the top right now is Hana-Kimi (I have it all AND The art book but havn't found the extras shes been doing), Saiyuki (I am waiting like a MAD woman for Gaiden to get released in the states), Ouran Host Club and I think Hikaru no Go (damn Viz for not giving me all the DVDS) I love so many other and there are particular character to which I may not like the manga so much as the character
Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Oh sure
If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Oh yep that would be fine
OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns?

Chocolate or other types of candy?not chocolate
For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags?i like loose but I am always on the look out for herbals
If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? Shawl you say? If it was WARM and Soft and BIG I would so use it this winter as I huddle in front of my computer. I shall look around etsy to see if I can find some ideas of it is to look at. went and spent 3 hours surfing etsy knitting things I added a few of the shaws I liked to my great list of DOOM and then while I was there I added lots of yarns that made me go all covetous

What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)my girls love lots of things but I have a strict no annoying toys rule.

Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that – humm fanfic recs are GOOD but finding things for me can be a challenge.

9/6/10
When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? my etsy list is a hodge podge of things that caught my eye. As such it has all KINDS of things on it. I liked the look of. It a good idea getter but its isn't actually anything I am expecting a certain thing from
Do you wear make up? for occasions, but it looks like ia m going to have to get a job and I could sure use the basics (a tutorial would be nice) on mineral makeup for a business. I actually can do the more outlandish already as thats what I do for the girls when we play dress up

I am working on the great list of questions, if you have questions i am willing to answer them

Celebrity crush?:Keanu Reeves, followed closely by Brad Pitt with orlando Bloom hanging around for effect.
Knitted things?:YES, although I am sensitive to itchies with some fibers. BUT I have to say one of my not so secret wishes is for a LONG ravenclaw scarf for me and a slitheren on for the hubby
What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs?hummm never had a mixed dvd what is on that?

Do you like scented tarts? I don't have anything to do anything with them not against them just not sure what they Do
Lip balms? yes but only really good balms. A past witchy set me up with my lip stuff ( mylipstuff.com)and I have been in love with it every since but I am almost out with winter in Ohio approaching

What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) humm I love lots of artists but it is the pieces not the artist themselves that draw me in. I love the early works of Kim McElroy ( http://www.spiritofhorse.com/ ) her illusionary horses are in person just amazing. I find her more recent stuff and her new world view a little wooo woo. I live to read about what ever Ursula Veron ( http://www.redwombatstudio.com/ )has come up with to do this time. I adore this woman and some day will make a pilgrimage to a con shes attending just to shake her hand and thank her for all the laughs I have had since following her lj all those years ago. If she ever does DO the hamsutra I Have GOT to have one!! I like bright gorgeous colors but I also like classics such as van gogh's sunflowers and starry night. Monet depending on the canvass. I like color and I like it In your face. Humm I wonder if this answer makes any sense to anyone not me.
9/03/10
Hallowe'en plans? kidlet trick or treating, I am thinking the spawn should be faeries this year so I am looking for cost effective wings and so on.
Mix Cds?oh yeah
Girlyness level? That depends on a day to day basis I am almost a man. Exept for my vainness about getting my hair put up every day. But I LOVE LOVE to pamper myself sometimes, I indulge in things like bubble baths and I LOVE the Ice prince Oil (I should horde it but oh its so relaxing) On the other hand no one in their right mind things i am a guy.
9/02/10
Baked goods: all for this I love baked foods
Gifts for other household members: the girls if not given their own will probably mis appropriate something from the packages
Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Hummm My poor little wishlist for bpal is so smallish right now. That most of what ON it I will take in what ever form I can get my grubby paws on it and be a VERY happy camper for getting it
social networking usernames, ie twitter, facebook, livejournal, ravelry, anything else: I am on LJ as therhoda, dreamwidth as the same. I don't post much and most of what i DO post is fandom and whiny. But feel free to add me.

How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I am fat!@ sooo you are look at a mens large or a womens xl or xxl as far as tops. I am a size 22 top and a size 20 pants. But I would love some nice flannel anything, I tend to sleep in old flannel shirts in the winter, I tend to steal them from male relatives or beg for them for holidays.
I would like to admit right now that i plan on talking to you. I hope you have found this blog at some point and so i am not TALKING to myself.
I fell into something in etsy today. i DIDN'T know they had fabrics. I happen to have s SLIGHT addiction to bright colored fabrics. My main problem is i can never figure out how to DO something with them. it has been my intention for YEARS to find someone that will explain a way to use my fabric horde. I am a magpie as you will see from what i put in the amazon list tonight. The problem is I want two things from a quilt. I want it to be pretty and i want to SLEEP under it. these are rather Mutually non sequators to each other. I am sure i could MAKE the top of a quilt, but i have NO IDea On how to go about backing and filling it.
Sooo it has always been this thing i will do. I have 25 YEARS worth of jeans to be made into something and three drawers full of the brightest and funess cottons.
So there witchie an idea sorta.
Okay in typical SW fashion i have now stumbled upon the weird and fascinating Fyrinnae cosmetics. I LOVE this concept but i have NO idea where i would get started OR how to do it. BUT Witchy i would LOVE some samples of this!!although i would need their pixie epoxy to keep it on with. Or a make up base of some sort as i am soooo not up on make up stuffage.
so far the one i WANT the most is Daemon’s Tail as it sound FABULOUS! not sure i have anywhere to ACTUALLY where it but i would SURE try it out and wear it around the house. I also love the names and colors of Rapunzel had extensions, Oberon, and shinkirou.
As always this is just an idea of my color choices and ideas.
So here ia m waiting for yet another round to start, I though i would leave a note to my witch. First i will adore you unless you just don't talk to me at ALL. I don't need daily updates but if i go a month with not a note I will start to twig and think you don't like me. its a personal failing but i am trying to be upfront about it.
now i have some wishlists i am going to link for you. I want to say right off that they are so you know what i LIKE, not that i expect you to get them for me.
My mondo everything that catches my magpie like eye list. including things i need for my new Wii system we were just given. the anime collection and my massive appetites for books -

New question--I'm calling this "could never happen in a million years":
Your Witch is perusing the wares at a local yard sale. S/he looks down and sees [insert impossibly rare item that you've always wanted but could never afford] with a $5-10 sticker on it. Sheepishly s/he takes it to the guy behind the folding table. "Do you know what this is?" s/he inquires. The gentleman states that it belonged to his mother/sister/grandmother/Great Aunt Beulah and he thinks it's for, like, hair or something. With a trembling hand, s/hes pays the man and heads home with the inconceivable riches.
So, what is this unobtainable miracle your Witch found? a scan cat (i have always wanted to scan the isbn nubmers of books into librarything)
