My mom always - and I mean ALWAYS forgets to remove the price tags. She's just so busy that when she does have time to wrap the gifts, she's in a hurry to get them wrapped and just forgets...

Everytime we open any gift, she's like "oh crap, hang on! let me remove this price tag I NOW see I forgot to remove."

One year my grandmother got me and my two sisters all ponchos, because they were "coming back in style!"

NGL - I used to do drunk makeupping every Friday night. :) Such a blast. I keep meaning to get back into it...

I totally commiserate with you on the sibling gift issues. :( One of my sisters (I have 2) is great, and the other... hardly any thought at all.

I got socks with cats on them in my stocking. :)

Technically he gets the ginger from both sides. :) Both Diana and Charles had to have the MC1R gene for him to be a redhead!

25 as well - and pretty much the same story. I took whatever inconsistent part-time work was thrown my way for the 8+ months after graduation (in between bouts of unemployment).

Hey a measurement twin! Although I've about 2 inches shorter.

I used to use "curvy" as a descriptor as well, but the definition really has shifted so I'm in the same boat - I never know how to describe myself anymore! (Usually I just say petite with an hourglass figure, at this point.)

It's all about proportion and bone structure. In college, an acquaintance of mine was skinny - really skinny. She was about 5'10 and weighed about 130 lbs. When she told me she wore a size 10 in jeans, I was really surprised (I had pegged her at size 6-8) - she explained it was because of her hips.

Recently I switched to Butter London's polishes - I'd say it's a step up from OPI and Essie (both of which I love and have many of their polishes). Butter London's top coat is divine!
