I mailed my box out on Monday - it should be there today or tomorrow.
Rubber bands are everywhere...when you don't need one. I bundled the cards with the only thing I could find.
Oh...and it seems as though my fine motor skills have deteriorated significantly. My handwriting sucks! Seriously. I can type and text like the wind. But put a pen in my hand and it's like I am six.
I can't wait to start seeing those cards in the mail. My mail slot is actually through my front door. My dog waits for the mailman...and it isn't pretty. I am looking forward to a foyer dusted in glitter and catnip - which will prove to my kitties that there is, indeed, a Santa Claus.

@ healing & the kitties 
Mine are out and also not glitterfied 
Between kids schedules (Girl Scouts, dance, guitar lessons, and wrestling), church (Sunday's, Wednesday's, and occasional Saturday's, with Praise & Worship Practice this past Sunday), voice lessons for myself, college, and the normal crap everyone deals with, I am lucky to have even have gotten them out this year 
I am going to save all of your glitter though. Then, I don't have to worry about trying to find time to go to the store next year...I will already have it on hand

Me too! So far have received only two...from Jimmy Carter asking for donations, and a calendar from a lawyer I consulted. Where is the Great Christmas Beaver when you need him?

You know this might be the 1st year without a card from my atty as I didn't have to pay them any $ last year

That's progress! And attorneys don't send glitter, either.

Mine gets mailed out tomorrow. Probably overnighted, just like last year. 
This year's highlights include an asshole cat who kept batting at the glitter bottle, a dog who kept jumping on me while trying to get to the cat, a head injury (Tapper), a table-pusher (Hedgehog), and a 10-year old telling me "glitter is SO little-kid, Moooom" (Birdie Sue).
You folks are lucky I did the cards sober. I didn't get to write anything but my name in most of them. I like to try to put a message in each one but just couldn't get the time I wanted.

Fudge. Okay so I have a memory issue related to my AD and it's gotten really bad just this past month. I talked to my psychiatrist Monday and she said it's related to my medicine because something about seratonin can affect memory. If I can get them all done tomorrow, would I be able to drop them by SI HQ in person by any chance?
