Creme Anglaise from B Never is coming to LUSH! Yahoo! Also Turkish Delight smoothie, all the lip scrubs and they reformulated the buttercreams. And we're getting a bath bomb called Space Girl, that is purple with sparkly rings around it, like Saturn!

Whoop whoop!

So. A guy jumped off the railing across from my store today, and fell one level down. We were in the shop at the time, just dealing with our usual Dec 23 craziness, when we heard a thump and a scream. No one inside really paid much attention, we just figured it was random mall happenings, and a few minutes later, a customer came in to tell us what had happened.

Man, something like that really freaks you out.

I mean, there you are, ringing people through, wrapping gifts, thinking about nothing in particular, and then you hear that someone tried to kill themselves not ten feet away from you. There was a huge crowd just staring over the railing until Security taped off the area. People were completely messed up about it. Everyone was just looking kind of green and shocked. I went into the back room and called my parents and Stephen right away to tell them how much I loved them.

I know I'm frustrated and tired right now, and I know how bad things can get for me during holiday season, but - well, at least I know I'll have a good Christmas with my family. At least I know I have people who love me and support me and I'll never have to jump off a railing in a mall because no one understands me.

I made up my mind to just go with the flow this year, and think about the things that really matter in my life.

Much love to you all. Hug your families, spend time with your loved ones and stay warm and happy this season.

Love, Jaime <3

HA!

Zack de la Rocha, lead singer of Rage Against The Machine, told Radio One yesterday that the band were 'very ecstatic', adding: 'It says more about the spontaneous action taken by young people throughout the UK to topple this very sterile pop monopoly, and less about the song and the band.'

A 'large portion' of the proceeds from the single will go to homeless charity Shelter, he said.

So, I am EXHAUSTED. I know I say this every year, because I work in retail and retail Christmas is MURDER, but this year I feel way more dead than I usually do. I worked three 12-to-14 hour shifts back-to-back this weekend and was running on 2 or 3 hours of sleep the whole time, so I'm amazed that I didn't actually collapse on the sales floor. Yesterday, I was on the verge of tears the entire time. When I finally came home to Stephen, I just cried for about an hour. It was awful.

If I start thinking about it, I won't be able to get through the next two days and Boxing Day. I was home today, so I did some Christmas wrapping and baking. I still have more to do, but I guess that will have to wait until Thursday night. If it doesn't get done, it doesn't get done. I'm going to Dollarama on my way to work tomorrow to grab some gift bags so I can just throw things together.

My mom bought me a gift card to Sock Dreams and sent it to my email address early. The funny thing is that she sent it right after I sent her a stress email about how nuts things are for me right now (I was having an I-want-my-mom moment), and I think she might have done that as a virtual "There, there, it's going to be okay. Look, socks!" My mom is awesome. I bought these, which are possibly the greatest things I've ever seen.
