So I'm offering to anyone on my flist first dibs and then I'm posting to the marketplace. The truth is, I rarely wear perfume now because the baby prefers eau de Mommy. My BPAL has been sitting in a box in my closet since we moved to the townhome and before that is was sitting in a cabinet since I couldn't wear perfume from the end of February-the start of the move. It seems silly to have it take up space when I want to try to simplify.

So...

If you have any questions about labels etc. please let me know. Some of the bottles have never been touched, some have been cleanly tested, some were non cleanly tested, some were bought from others and I never tested and have no idea what previous owners did.

Please buy at least $10 worth to make it worth it for me to go to the PO. I will send freebies though not necessarily perfume.

The scary huge list and I do mean scary huge )
I can now report that mail arrives quickly to my new complex and I now know how small packages are handled. And I'm just thrilled because I got two super wonderful awesome things in the mail today!!!!!!

First... Thank you [livejournal.com profile] reynardine!! SO HAPPY! Everything smells so wonderful and the Starring Fragrance scents look wonderful and right up my alley since I tend to love foodie things. The box when I opened it just smelt so amazing and it just made me so happy. You and Bob were both really too kind to me to send me and get me so many things and I truly truly appreciate it and hopefully I can soon start wearing things and not just sniffing them in the bottles!

Second...I don't think I have the words to express how much what you sent me means to me, [livejournal.com profile] dilettantka . I seriously got a little weepy I was so happy about it. Truth be told the thing I most wanted during GW other than a chance to see you, even more than going to event or trying to sell was a chance to visit a temple or shrine and get a safe pregnancy charm for the baby and for me. So it means so much to me for you to send one and I really really wanted my name written in a shrine so that I could feel less anxious and neurotic about everything and it's a huge comfort to know you did this for me. I'm sort of glad I'll be further along when you see me since by June I bet you can feel the baby move!

Thank you to both of you for really brightening my day.

Tomorrow I have another check up in the morning (I think an ultrasound and then they take some blood) and then we're going out to lunch with my Mom. It's actually Kennis' birthday too so it feels like he gets the extra gift of seeing our baby! Our baby will actually be born by the time my birthday comes around, so exciting!
I'm feeling very under the weather, much more so than I usually feel upon returning from Japan and my sleep schedule is definitely having issues though not as badly as it sometimes has. Right now, I'm managing 1 nap and sleeping through most of the night.

I really need to write up a Basara report and get out all the packages I have for people. Apologies in advance for all the many many people waiting on me. I am hoping to start the process today. I've heard people have started to get their postcards which is very happy. Having no internet in Takayama turned out to be a boon for getting them out. :)

I'm really excited I have tons of bottles of BPAL and imps to test from the Lupercalias. ♥

I got to see my brother yesterday and it was really nice, we talked about his move. He wants to do dinner at some point but I am not sure if I'm up for it. I also want to see my cousin and her fiance. Social life==good, feeling meh not so much.
I'm posting these in my own personal LJ first in case anyone on the flist wants them, then am posting in the comms.


The smellies for sale )
One of my expensive new prototypes smells lovely in the bottle but rancid on me to me before devolving into some sort of sweet marshmallowy and play dough scent that makes me want to cry. I feel so dumb since I paid an insane amount for it and I so do not like it. I'm hoping I found someone to trade it with. At least Comforting Plush Companion is comforting! I need to start putting my thoughts here on LJ for scents so I can better keep track of things. Some scents sound great in theory but somehow on me the theory falls through.

I just got a Netflix account so any recommendations on movies available on Netflix that I might enjoy is welcomed. Right now I am trying to get "Trembling Before G-D" a movie about being gay and Orthodox.

I so need to figure out my Japan trip and start work on my new doujinshi but instead I am re-reading old chat logs. I can tell this means I am stressed. I'm hoping to walk to the mall later since I sort of want another sweater from Banana Republic before it vanishes. Its a really cute look and actually worked on my despite having boobs. They're even cute enough that they look like something you can imagine someone in Japan wearing lol

It doesn't help that the tea I tried this morning was not what I am looking for in tea.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

So I know I was the first person to request Bake Sale from the person I commissioned even if my first comment was to her entry in the wrong comm (she posted the same entry to two different bpal comms), and she even managed to GET a damn bottle of it, but she's giving it to someone else. WTF!!!!!!!!!
To start things off on a happy note, I got some perfume as a gift from [livejournal.com profile] reynardine Thank you!!!!! It was so sweet of you! :D Now I have one less Holiday scent to try and chase down and debate as my PayPal balance dwindles. I also received the Yo Vampire set I've been dying for as a gift from Red Rosin, whose LJ I don't know. I so appreciate it, and it's like a pseudo birthday gift even if that was not the intention.

On the sucky side, the person I commissioned to get me perfumes at the Trunk Show not only probably didn't get me any of the bottles but hasn't posted that she definitely didn't and I want her to refund my money now since it seems like she didn't get any. I mean it's been a couple days I think it is not unreasonable she refunds me and tells me she definitely didn't succeed. It's really frustrating and annoying, though I might have gotten a testor of Blue Phoenix from someone so I can at least know if I love it.

And even suckier... there is trying to clean the house to sell it. You can't even tell I've done any work. ;;_;; I am trying to be good and toss out all sorts of things I've been saving for reasons unknown including a Hebrew School notebook circa 1983 meaning it is about the same age as [livejournal.com profile] muscatlove It included a wonderful potential letter to a potential Israeli pen pal declaring the following about me: I like to travel, I like using a computer, I love drawing and being "creative." I like dolls and watching TV. I just read that list and think wow.... things really don't change do they lol

But I know everyone wants to see me be a Sengoku Basara fangirl and visit Sendai and Matsushima so...

I would never let a seagull come near me! )

Stay tuned for the scary video I made on the cruise featuring people getting far closer to seagulls that I think a person ever should. I want to state now, *I* did not let those seagulls come near me!

So is like anyone I ever met from any on-line fandom actually into BPAL?

Just curious.
The last few days they've been tearing up the road outside my house and re-paving from when they tore up the road to possibly fix a gas leak a few months ago. I say supposedly fix, as I heard from several people that this was Con-Ed experimenting on different methods of fixing leaks. ~.~

It's been incredibly noisy and now my car is blocked in my driveway until the new concrete hardens.

On the bright side, I made it to the vet before they did the work and Basil has put on 1 1/4 pounds! YEAH!

I also got my Bpal order. Berry Moon has a few sour notes I am hoping age out, but is mostly yummy and smells like Blueberry. ♥
Stinky is amazing and for reasons unknown smells like White Chocolate and Sugared Violets on me. As that is one of my favorite scents, this is a very good thing. I am waiting to try Pink Flamingo and Spinning Pinwheel. So far in the bottle Spinning Pinwheel smells like 7-up lol

Punkie Nights, Toxin and Zombie Apocalypse were failures, especially the latter two which were scrub me off they are making me ill failures. (Zombie in particular) I also really did not like my decants of Vampire Tears, Couple Consulting an Enpon and Tissue. I think I need to start a list of failures and successes.
For those who don't know, I've fallen into Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs pretty hard and have lately been obsessing about various oils. And of course since I am an awful person, most of the ones I want seem to be hard to find lol I've gotten lucky with a few and now own some bottles i love as well as back-ups of some of my favorites. I'm waiting on some more bottles, some of which I expect to end up in the sale/swap pile ;;_;; Berry Moon is supposed to be musky and Stinky smells like baby powder, neither is appealing sounding. *sighs*

In other news, we've been getting lots of CSA produce which means I've been cooking a lot more. I think my husband appreciates it, because he gets a home cooked dinner most nights now.

So what has been happening with the garden in the last month? )
