Obviously, you need to steal a credit card with a non-APO address attached.

Absolutely. I wonder if my friends still have the info from my Hellbitch neighbor of a couple years ago. She owes me money, so I think she should buy my Sephora stuff.

Actually, I just moved one of my credit cards to the diplomatic pouch's address. A ludicrous use of that service, but desperate times.

Raq, not sure if this still works, but when I've run into that situation in the past, I usually just put APO AE for the city and NY for the state. (i.e. APO AE, NY 09xxx) It was always approved for me. (I even shipped stuff with that address.)

I've done that also, but the thing about the Sephora online shopping site is that they've made the shipping address form APO-friendly (you enter the ZIP code and the State auto-populates with "Armed Forces AE"), but the billing form hasn't been revised to be the same.

Which makes me cranky, as it's sloppy web development.

Now to see if Sephora's one of those sites that requires the credit card billing address to be the same as the shipping address, unless "Gift" was selected....

I think I might have lost all my hipness though...Coldwater Creek is having 50% everything, and I'm looking at dresses and skirts there. (I went there to Xmas shop, really!)

Raq, that is just plain stupid.

Coldwater Creek is having a sale? Dangerous.

I had a lovely tea yesterday afternoon. And no one even noticed the non-dusting. It really was lovely, though. Wish I had the time to plan stuff like that more often.

Hi!

I appreciate Kristin's efforts to turn over the thread.

It's sunny and breezy. I really need to drag myself outside and bring in all the Halloween decorations. I was waiting for the morning forecast, but it looks like they will get all blown around and trashed if I don't. Imma wait until the 11am advisory before I decide about the shutters. I prefer to be able to watch a storm. This has been a very very slow wait and see storm.

pushes thread one step closer to death

How is everyone this morning?

I am awake, and will actually make it to church this morning. Yay!

Up way too early
Cut chin shaving
How traditional.

Cat on arm
and part of shoulder
Head tucked in.

Not too good
At making Haiku
Autumn rain.

Annabel has been pseudo-awake since 5:00. (We put her down just before 9:00, but she didn't sleep until nearly midnight, at which point we went to bed.) I fell asleep around 12:30, woke up at 5:00. I just now got up with Annabel because she was making enough noise to disturb Dylan, and tonight it's my turn.

More sleep won't be happening for me because I have to leave the house at 8:00 for choir. I'm still not properly over the cold I got over two weeks ago because first my cough and now Annabel's sleeplessness haven't been letting me get a good night's sleep.

Something's gotta give soon.
