Thanks for offering though! I'm sure I'll be fine, I'm just panicking right now. I guess this is the time one would reflect on what really matters, huh? Not sweating the small stuff and all. I'm just so sick of the whole process already and this is not helping at all. Waaaaah :D
Hopefully it all gets there in time and the new lippies soothe your moving weary soul! :D Looking back on all the crap I've dealt with in life, I have to admit that in stressful situations it's usually the seemingly smallest thing that breaks this camel's back and triggers a meltdown. Though, losing your SN is no small thing! ;)

Laurie, I can so the look on the chippie's face when you tried to explain it to him, better yet I can hear the rest of guys when he tells of his "big" bust, after all you have to assume that since you are transporting white powder ( zinc) that the chippies would think it was crack. Can you hear the raing he would get when everybody figures out it wasn't drugs at all, just makeup?

Oh gosh I just totally had the image of Laurie screaming down the road waving a flat top! You WOULD totally make a chippie's day. It's always the funny ones they talk about loooong after they've retired (my father was a police officer).

I hope things perk up for you Egerandi. We're still not unpacked from moving into our house last year- but we'll get there.

lmao @ the idea of trying to explain the zinc powder emergency.

egerandi, I hope your makeup crisis can be averted in some form or another! Moving can be so stressful.

I FOUND THE CASE :D

Sorry for the caps, just so superhappy right now! It was at the bottom of a large moving box full of... not other bathroom stuff.
I was looking for something else, and while digging deeper between the dishwashing liquids, Jack lunch box and old travel mags, and
there it was, peaking out: red leather with silver hardware. I screamed and scared the dog, hehe.

Anyway, I'll consider this as a blessing. It showed me that there is kindness and understanding out there, no matter how trivial
the occasion. It showed me that I'm not fully senile/insane yet, as I was positive that case got packed somewhere. It gives me hope
that things always turn out for the better, even if they don't look that way first. Aaaaand, the fact I didn't have full makeup saved
me some time in the morning routine, so I think I'll just continue trying to get away with primer and tinted finisher with a lippie and mascara,
because now I know I can if I really really need to :)

Big whew and even bigger thank you for the support!
