I love this new shirt of David's ... it is just too rad!!!!!!

so we started getting postcards back from my Greetings From America project ... so far i have gotten 4 back ... so david is going to get the scanner working so i can put them up on the site ... they are so groovy ... it is so exciting going to the mailbox now ... :)

i am sitting here trying not to let my anger get out of control but i don't think it is possible anymore ... and i don't know what to do about it ...


yesterday i was out running errands so i just headed for the train station around 5:20 ... i knew david wouldn't get in till about 6 but it was better than driving home to get here in time to leave and pick him up ... he didn't get in till 7:15 and all i got was his voice mail on his phone ...


he told me that he couldn't get the phone to work in the city [which is strange cause he calls me every day when he is leaving] and he hadn't even called ... he said since his phone wasn't working that he was just going to call when he got to the station ... he said that after work he had to meet with the boss and this other kid that works there to talk about stuff and then he and the kid went to get coffee ... i let it go cause it was just once ... but he even mentioned what type of phone the kid had so he could have easily used his phone to call and just tell me he wouldn't be home till late ...


today when he left he said don't come to the station till i call cause i don't want you sitting there for ever ... fine ... but i have been sitting here for 2 hours now waiting for him to call ... i can't do anything ... i can't chat on the phone cause we don't have call waiting ... i can't go finish the laundry cause i need his clothes from work today and i can't hear our phone up there ... i can't take a shower cause i can't answer the phone in the shower ... i can't go run errands cause i fucking can't hear the phone in the car ...

it is really just upsetting to me ... and the biggest problem is that he told me tooooooooo many stories about how he cheated on his ex ... and he cheated all the time ... he would hook up with chicks after work and mess around in some hotel and then come home ... i don't think he is cheating ... but he has always been sooooo good about calling me from work and not any more ... and fuck i don't want to just be sitting here ... doing shit ... i can't even go outside and finish painting or anything ... i am just pissed ... i feel like i am being taken advantage of ... it just isn't right ...

yea yea yea ... david got a job that he loves ... i am so happy to be writing that ... it is a killer job too ... no nights and no weekends ... he takes the metro to the city ... i do get up at 5 AM now to take him to the metro so he can be in the city by 6:30 so our sleeping habits are changing ... but i am happy to do that ... yesterday was his first day and there was such joy on his face ... it made me so happy ...


now it is time for me to find a job ... :)

i finally got my whole work shop put together ... i am soooooooooo glad ... it took two days ... so now i am ready to be crafty ... i have some mosaic stuff to do ... and some painting ... it is going to be great to have a place to work ... it has been so long ... too bad i am too tired to do anything tonight ... but i guess i can wake up the day crafting ... so cool ...

well ... i think april 19th is too late to play an april fools joke ... but my dad did ... mel gibson isn't going to his plant ... what the fuck ...

ok ... woops ... Mel Gibson is actually going to be at my dad's plant on tuesday ... not today ... but still that is so damn cool ...

I just found out that tomorrow ... and my dad's plant ... Mel Gibson will be there for 2 hours signing autographs for the employees ... someone that works there knows someone in his entourage and they are going to be going through town [which is amazing in itself cause my dad works out in the sticks] ... anyway he is traveling through town so the guy asked if he would stop and sign autographs ... and he said yes ... isn't that so bitchen ... I mean he is a huge star ... HUGE ... and he is going to take 2 hours out of his day to sign autographs ... I think that is bitchen ... I am sorry I don't work up there ... bummer ...

tomorrow is the lottery drawing for 320 Million dollars ... it is just amazing it is so much ... it is incomprehensible ... we bought 30 tickets ... 10 are really for my mom and 20 are mine and David's ... god it is just amazing ...

Last night I taped Alias because we were going to pick my dad up at the airport ... and I sat there and made sure it was taping ... everything looked great ... so today while I was working on my postcard project I put in the Alias tape ... and it was great ... the show was awesome ... and it recapped enough of last weeks show that I caught up on what was taped without sound ... then they confronted Sydney about the plane ticket stub ... it was tense ... she said 'this is serious' ... and the tape stopped ... there was like 20 minutes of the show left and it stopped taping ... I screamed ... what the fuck is this conspiracy about me not getting to see alias ... it is making me nuts ...

i really thought that auction idea would be super cool ... and no one has bid on it yet ... i guess in a way i should be happy ... i mean it would just be 50 more cards to fill out if someone did win ... oh well ...

Check out my AWESOME auction ...

david and i are finally talking again ... which makes me happy ...

but i just paid my taxes ... which makes me sad ...

I owed 376 dollars which seems like a lot for someone who was laid off because of September 11th and who has been unemployeed since ... i sure do pay a lot of taxes on my unemployment checks ... all seems pretty crazy to me ... i did obtain my goal of not getting a refund ... since the student loan sharks would take it all ... i didn't want them to get the satisfaction of getting my rebate ... so owning is better than getting nothing ... :)

sometimes ... when i start reading other people's blogs ... i feel so old ... i mean half of them are written by people in high school and the other half by people in college ... and i could have kids in high school ... i don't but i could ... shit if i had been a party girl in high school i could have a kid in college right now ...

I really thought I had caught a break tonight ... in fact it was even putting me in a good mood ... I went upstairs around 9 to eat dinner after taking a nap ... and turned on the TV to find the episode of Alias that I had missed on Sunday was on ABCFamily ... I was fucking so happy ... at 9:30 David wanted to go get coffee since Starbucks closes at 10 ... so I ran downstairs to pop a tape in the recorder so I could see the end of it when I got home ...


only to realize the cable box was on mute so it taped the last half hour without any sound ... ya know I just want something a little nice to happen to me right now ... and I thought this was it but boy was I wrong ...


what did I do to have such bad karma right now ...

in a day we have said maybe 12 words to each other ... it just fucking sucks ... we have the house to ourselves and we aren't even enjoying it ... i hate hate hate living like this ... i just want to curl up with him on the couch ... but i am still so mad ...


i mean how is it supposed to work ... why does he get to choose what things he will and will not do ... but i don't get the choice ... i mean is that right?

man ... i was just filling out feedback responses for people who bought stuff from me on ebay and i went to that guy bill's feedback ... and that asshole got the keyboard from someone eles for half the price ... damn it ... why is it the bad people have good things happen to them and the good people get all the shit in the end ... just doesn't seem right ...

I had some really gnarly dreams last night ...


I dreamt I had a sack of money and a small gun ... the next part of my dream I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl ... that was just so happy and cooing all the time ... so I got out my dream dictionary and it said:


Money: Small worries followed by much happiness. Many changes for the best in your life

Baby: A happy baby means love returned and many loving friends

Firearm: Violent and disagreeable arguments that could bring about much grief and sorrow.


pretty trippy since I went to sleep so mad at David ... I just laid on the couch crying till I was asleep ... he did break the silence after about 7 hours and said 'are you ok?' ... I said 'no' ... he said 'what can I do?' ... and I said 'nothing' ... I just wasn't in the mood to talk about it ... and I didn't have the strength to fight anymore ...


well I am off to the post office right now ... and to get a Starbucks ... ya know I would like to not get him one ... but then I feel so bad about it ... we'll have to see how I feel when I get there ...

it has been about 6 hours since David and I have spoken tonight ... that is so bad ... my whole body aches ... and I keep tearing up ... I would like to talk to him but to be quite honest I have nothing to say ... I know his life is frustrating right now but I will not sit here and be a punching bag [this isn't a literal term] anymore ...


this after noon we were out ... and he yelled at me for some stupid reason ... oh I asked if he would check his pockets and make sure he didn't grab the smoke ... for that he yelled at me ... and pretty loud I might add ... when we got home he asked if I was mad at him and I said 'a little' ... he said 'why' ... and I said ... 'because I am tired of being yelled at ... there was no reason to yell' ... and he said 'you are right ... I shouldn't yell at you' ...


two hours later we went to the grocery ... I know he hates it there ... so do I ... and I didn't force him to go this time ... I asked if he wanted to go and pick out some food cause I was going to make a salad for tonight and tomorrow night ... as we were at the checkout he pulled the basket all the way through and I said ... 'we need to leave it right here [right next to the woman rigging up our groceries] cause she will bag the groceries and put them right in the cart' ... the checkout woman said 'I see someone doesn't go to the store often' ... at that comment ... and one not even made by me mind you ... he left the store ... when I got in the car he yelled at me and said 'I will never go to the grocery store again ... I won't ... you treat me like a child and I will never go again ... I'll fucking starve if you don't want to buy food but I won't go to the grocery ever again' ... TOTALLY yelling this at me ... I said 'when did I treat you like a child?' ... and he said 'the whole time we were in there ... I'm not going ever again' ...


now I must say I tried to be in and out of the store cause I know he hates it ... and I made suggestions or asked if he wanted to go down different isles to get stuff ... but I NEVER treated him like a child ... I was trying to make it as pleasant an experience as possible cause I know he hates to go ...


and I must say the 'I won't ever go to the grocery again ... I'll starve before I go again' ... that is the comment a child would make ... ya know we both fucking hate going to the grocery store ... we both hate cleaning the cat box ... we both hate going to Starbucks in the morning ... we both hate going to the post office ... so why am I the one that has to do these things???????? ... I mean they are things that must be done ... we could cut out the Starbucks but to be honest that is the biggest source of joy in my life right now ... so I put up with all the people and the no parking to obtain that joy ... but fuck if I want to scoop cat shit all the time ... the cat doesn't even like me all that much ... he follows David around like a shadow ... and I think that if neither of us likes to go to the grocery store well fuck it we should both have to go then ... and if we are making out money from ebay and to do this we must go to the post office well then shit we should at the very least take turns ...


I don't think any of these things is asking too much ... I am tired of being taken advantage of ... of being yelled at ... of being treated like shit when all I am trying to do is make life a little more pleasant ... fuck that ... I guess the only way not to be yelled at at this point is to not talk ... so we will see how long this lasts ...

ahhhhh and I posted a link to my "Greetings From ..." project ... I can hardly wait for my postcards to get here ... so I can get started ... I have 250 to fill out ... I am making 2 sets for myself ... a set for Kris ... a set for Heather and one for David ... plus I have to find the address' for 50 state capital post office's and write letters to each of them explaining what I am doing ... but before I do anything I want to get the postcards ... maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day and they will arrive ... then I can use the weekend to get the bulk of the work done ... we'll see ... :)

Today I took steps to make my life a bit better ... I used the tread mill for 30 minutes today ... I also had a big beautiful salad with no dressing for dinner ... and as a snack a little while ago I had cantaloupe and honeydew ... it is a good start ... and I feel good about it ... lets hope it does something to brighten my world ... :)

i hate sitting in silence ... forced silence is just the worst ... it makes my stomach turn and my head spin ... why has life been like this lately?

Well the saga with the ebay asshole came to an end ... even though I am sure I will hear from him again ... I am thinking now when I sent his money order back to him I should have sent it with a return receipt ... cause he is probably going to say I never sent it ... anyway ... to read all the emails click here ... if you have read the whole saga and just would like the last two emails they are below ... :)

Sent: Wed 4/10/2002 10:42 PM I've really just had enough of this. My offer to leave no feedback still stands. As long as you don't leave feedback ... I won't. I am re-listing the item. Please don't send me a postal money order. Liz

Sent: Wed 4/10/2002 10:53 PM I have had more than enough also. Simple transaction. Not enough money to fuss about. A questionable point to be made. I had intended to take care of the purchase as soon as I received the Money Order back, but you insist on more confrontational letters. I no longer want your merchandise, as I find it impossible to feel like a customer under these circumstances, so please re-list. You have been wanting to do that all along anyway. Maybe it sold to low or something. I don’t know. I had no intention of sending another Money Order, given that your banks don’t honor them, and I had no name to fill it out to anyway. I will let you know when the Money Order arrives at my address, and then I think it would be appropriate to leave no feedback. Bill

Can you believe this guy ... first he tells me to re-list the item like that was his idea ... second he said he had not intention of sending me a money order when he got his back ... how the hell was he going to pay me?? ... third he says that we shouldn't leave feedback for each other ... again like it is his idea ... my god what a control freak ... everything has to be his idea ... he can't agree to anything ... he can't follow directions ...  this is a man I am so happy I don't know in person ... cause his emails are enough to drive me crazy!!!

Things David WON'T Do

clean the cat box

go to the grocery store

go to Target

go to Starbucks in the morning

go to the Post Office on his own [once in a while he will sit in the car when I go]


this list gets longer every time i turn around ... so i am sure there will be more to add later

Liz to David after he makes hand gestures and tilts his head: "you sure do talk to yourself a lot honey"

David to Liz: "That is what smart people do hun"

Liz to David: "Is that what they told you in therapy honey?"

yea I have a turquoise star on ebay now ... that means I have over 100 feedbacks ... I actually have 130 ... but only 102 of them are from unique users ... what a geek I am ... I am so upset about this stupid bill guy but I am excited to have the new color star ... :)


today I went to the post office and I got my Alias scrip and the Bugsy Malone CD I got on ebay ... I paid 27 bucks for it and everyone said I got hosed ... but playing it in the car on the way home ... I actually got teary cause I was so happy ... :)

i am starting to wonder if ebay is worth all the headache ... i mean we have made a bunch of money in the last month ... but i am having trouble sleeping cause of the asshole and this keyboard ... i really just shouldn't have to deal with this shit ... i am just trying to make a little money for my little family here ... david and i are good people ... and i ship everything the day i am paid ... i package everything nicely and i send it priority mail ... so people get their stuff quick ... i mean i am still waiting for items i paid for 2 weeks ago ... it all just doesn't seem fair ... where is the karma in this system ... why am i not getting what i give?

His emails have a blue background ... mine have the pink background ... This is a display of a ridiculous waste of time ... this man is arguing with me because he didn't follow directions and I should have to bend to his request ... bullshit ... it is my auction and I set the rules ... that there should be the end of the story ...

Sent: Mon 4/8/2002 8:50 PM Bill I received your money order today but I am going to need to send it back. My auction and the email I sent you stated that if you are paying by money order it needs to be a US Postal Service money order so I can cash it at  the post office. My bank will not take a personal money order nor will they take anything made out to DNL [domain removed for posting] I am guessing you can cash it where you got it or have them cancel it and then you can pay by paypal or get a money order at the post office. Liz

Sent: Tue 4/9/2002 3:24 AM That is a money order from Wells Fargo Bank, and it is the biggest bank in the Southwest. Nobody will cash it? If so, I need to discuss this with the bank, and find out what is wrong with a MO guaranteed by a bank that size. I use them here at many businesses, and they treat it as cash. In over 150 transactions in the last 4 months, this is the first time anyone has told me that a Wells Fargo Money Order was not good. The check was made out to the business I was supplied. i.e. "DnL [domain removed for posting] [address removed for posting] Thanks for bidding :)Liz" I am not pleased. You might consider taking it to a bank, and they will gladly give you cash for that Money Order. As I saidWells Fargo is a large bank. Thank you, Bill

Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 3:50 AM If the bank says the M.O. is not good, please return it, and other arrangements will be made. This transaction need not take this long. Thank you, Bill

Sent: Tue 4/9/2002 4:04 AM Yes I agree ... the transaction shouldn't take this long. That is why I put specific instructions on the auction and on the confirmation email that it needs to be a USPS money order. USPS money orders can be cashed at the post office. There is no Wells Fargo on the east coast. I took it to my bank today and they couldn't cash it for 2 reasons ... they don't accept money orders and it is made out to DNL ... it isn't an incorporated company it is a website of mine ... but my PO Box is under that name so the post office where I have my box will cash money orders to DNL that are USPS money orders. I have been doing the ebay thing for over 2 years and have figured out what is fastest and easiest for me ... I  will put your money order in the mail for you tomorrow. Liz

Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 8:35 AM A Wells Fargo Money Order does not need to be cashed at a Wells Fargo bank. It is considered the same as cash, because it was made out for the amount of money surrendered at the time it was printed. There is no such thing as a special place to cash a Money Order especially one from a large bank.  Any Money Order, including a USPS Money Order, from me would have been made out to DNL, as that is the name you supplied to me. I have two business names that I do business under, and I can sign for either of them, because I am the owner. That is normal business, and I receive money orders in the name of un-incorporated, sole-proprietor businesses almost every day. If this was not a legitimate business, I needed a name. I, also, don't typically send out blank, signed, Money Orders. This Money Order could have been cashed, and I am disappointed that more effort did not go into to doing so, and I needed this unit soon, for a specific purpose.  When I receive it, I will make other arrangements for payment to you. Once those arrangements for payment have been made, I would appreciate timely shipping of the keyboard. I am sorry this became needlessly complicated, as I have grown accustomed to people recognizing the effort I go through to pay timely. Thank you, Bill

Sent: Tue 4/9/2002 12:19 PM Sir My auction and my email say the ONLY forms of payment I accept are USPS Money Order and PayPal. Why didn't you make an effort to comply to those rules? Why if those rules were SO hard to follow did you bid on my item. It is nice that you are writing to me trying to put me in the wrong but lets get real You didn't follow directions. I took your money order to my bank. I will say this ONE MORE TIME ... MY BANK DOESN'T ACCEPT MONEY ORDERS ... PERIOD. It has nothing to do with it being Wells Fargo ... it doesn't under any circumstances accept money orders. This shouldn't be so hard to understand.  A timely manner of payment would arrive before 13 days after the end of auction and it would comply to the rules of the auction. I appreciate you feel whatever you do is correct and screw the rules outlined in the auction but there is a reason I write the things I write. They aren't guidelines they are the rules. I have put your money order in the mail. I would be more than happy to put this auction back up and let someone buy it that can follow my checkout procedures and that would leave you free to purchase the keyboard from someone else who will take any kind of money order. I will alert ebay that the sale didn't go through and that I need to re-list the item and then we wouldn't need to worry about leaving feedback. Just let me know what you would like to do. Liz

Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 4:49 PM I have already stated what is to be done. When I receive the money order I will make arrangements. The item can then finally be shipped. I spoke to my bank VP today, and they would like to know, specifically, what business would not accept the Money Order. They said they would find out, for me, why that business would not accept it. They also repeated to me what I have said. The money order drawn on that bank, endorsed, by the owner of a legitimate business, incorporated or not, is the same as cash. It is a guarantee of payment. It is NOT a personal check with questionable funding. I understand this, because I have been in business for over 25 years. My accountant does not understand why a business, especially a bank, would not accept it either. I have had several of those discussions. Restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, etc, all understand this. I will have the bank pursue whatever business that felt that this was not legitimate tender. What I was saying earlier, was I feel more effort could have been placed in cashing it, and then we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Also, as I said, this is a first. Nobody has ever told me that a bank money order was not legal tender, and none of those people ever had problems cashing them anywhere in the USA. It’s just fact. Statements of sarcasm and personal digs are not necessary. All I have stated is that this Money Order is legitimate tender, that I had no other name but DNL supplied me, to write the Money Order to, and that I will make arrangements when I receive the original Money Order. Very simple. In addition, as you agreed to accept a ‘mailed’ form of payment, I have no control over the length of time it takes to arrive at your location. My accounts are processed as they come in and are all mailed together, approximately every other day. Thank you, Bill

Sent: Tue 4/9/2002 11:46 PM I am not wasting any more time on this. You didn't follow my check out rules and that is all that matters. They are there for a reason. I don't care what you say, or your bank says or what your accountant says. All that matters is what I say. It is my auction and I have it set up that way for a reason. It isn't my responsibility to drive around town and find someone to cash your money order. The post office and the bank said no that is enough for me. I shouldn't even have to try it isn't what I asked for. According to my auction I didn't receive satisfactory payment within 10 days and I have the right to re-list the item. But if I receive payment through PayPal or a USPS Money Order I will send the keyboard. I feel since we have both been pretty disappointed with the sale of this item that we agree to leave no feedback for each other. I need you to write back and let me know if you agree to this. You should be receiving your money order either Thursday or Friday at the latest. It was sent by priority mail. Liz

And as I was setting up this post ... I received another email from him ... I haven't decided what I will write back yet ...

Sent: Wed 4/10/2002 1:42 AM Hello Liz, I’m not sure why you are continuing this, but it is up to you. I had already told you that I would handle it when I received the Money Order back, and I didn’t realize there was any more to discuss about it, nor was it necessary to “waste” any more time on it. Let me know if you have decided to change that arrangement and do something different now. If you don’t want to sell this item, that is your call. REF: “10 Days” Mailing time is not under my control. REF: “your responsibility to run around…. Etc.”, I am also limited by my resources here, (and I have already done my share of “driving”) and my schedule. I am no where near the P.O. here, and my bank and accountant handle my business. This is not an expensive item or transaction, and I understand that you “don’t care” what I say, and that all that matters is “what” you “say”. I don’t understand the pertinence of that statement, unless it is to tell the customer how unimportant he is.  You were sent very legal tender, from a large bank. They are puzzled too, as to why nobody would accept their Money Order, as it is acceptable to most legitimate businesses, requiring very little “driving”. Yes, I am very disappointed. You have been very determined to make a point of some sort with this transaction, and it is definitely becoming bothersome. Its $50, not the national debt. In my business, I try to make the customer feel like dealing with him isn’t a “bother”. Thank you, Bill

There are some things I want to point out after reading this latest email twice ... #1 he never answered the last question I asked him in my email ... about agreeing to not leave each other feedback ... I mean that was the only reason I wanted to hear from him again ... and #2 this man forgets I have his address ... so I went to the handy usps.com site and found that the address he gave me is .4 miles from the post office ... then there is a post office that is 7 miles ... another one that is 12 miles ... and still yet there are post offices that are 14 and 16 miles away ... I would say .4 miles is pretty fucking close ... in fact it is pretty damn close since the one I go to every single day is 1.9 miles from my house ... and if I can't make it to that one on time on the weekends I travel to one that is 2.3 miles from my house ... maybe I should send him a link to the post office locator ... I don't like people who lie to me ... or people who are pig headed and think what they do is right no matter what others say ... tonight I will need to decide if this man should still get the keyboard or put it back on the auction block and see if someone more worthy should get it ... :)

and i have something i must get off my chest ... because i can't believe the stupidity of this man ... i will leave his name and email address off even though i would love to post it ... but these emails are INSANE ... here is what is posted on every one of my auctions:

Payment: Pay Pal preferred or USPS Postal Money Order Only
Payment must be received within 10 days of end of auction, if not negative feedback will be left and item will be re-listed. I reserve the right not to do business with users who have negative feedback.

Shipping & Handling:$6.00 USPS Priority Mail

Insurance: Additional cost please let me know if you would like this added

Send questions to: email address here


To me that seems pretty self explanitory ... I have been doing ebay auctions for over 2 years now and the easiest thing for me is PayPal ... but there are some people out there that don't use PayPal and would rather send a money order so i accept money orders from the post office only because i pick them up at my PO Box and I can cash them right there ... it is just the easiest way ... and my bank doesn't take money orders ... so there you have it ... pretty plain and simple ...


well some guy bought david's palm pilot keyboard ... and it took 13 days to get his money ... i opened the envelope and it was something called a 'personal money order' ... well the post office doesn't cash those ... and it is clearly stated in my auction and in the email i send the winning bidder that the only forms of payment i take are a postal money order or paypal ... the following is our correspondance since yesterday ...

So this is how my make-up came back to me ... a woman bought tons of make up from me through ebay ... and she claimed these had been used ... which i know when i sent them to her they had not ... so in order to make the 'customer' happy i offered to refund the money for these items and would she please send them back because i had someone that wanted to buy stuff even if it had been tried ... she threw them in an envelope and this is how they arrived ... everything broken ... all the powders smashed and all over the envelope not to mention my PO Box ... just a complete mess ... i don't understand how someone thinks this is a proper way to mail something when it came to her wrapped in tons of packaging paper ... i don't think people will ever cease to amaze me ... ever ...

my life has felt like shit the last couple of days ... david just hates me and gets mad at everything i say ... ya know we have the house to ourselves and we should be having a blast but instead all we have been doing is fighting ...


i think i am going to go up to my parents room right now and take a long hot bath in their huge tub ... seems like the only good thing to do at this point ...


i wish he wasn't so mad at me ... it makes me so sad ... :(

i want to be in a good mood so badly but little shit keeps happening making it impossible to be in a good mood ...


first i woke up much later than i had wanted ... so i had to rush to the post office and the grocery store before david had to leave for work


second when i got to the post office there was a package for me ... a woman who bought one of my make-up auctions claimed that a couple of the blushes i had sent her had been tried ... and she didn't like that ... so since she had bought 80 dollars worth of make-up from me i told her i would refund some of her money but i wanted her to send the blushes back ... i am going to have an auction of things that were tried once but not used ... so anyway i open the PO Box this morning and there is red dust all over ... she fucking put the blushes in a manilla envelope ... with no padding ... fucking nothing ... i spent like $5 on packaging paper to send her the make-up in the first place ... goodness i am seeing red all over again writing this ... it is so inconsiderate ... and i have already left her feedback so i can't put a negative comment about how she sent the stuff back to me ... i mean i was really nice ... the blushes weren't used i know she was returning them cause she didn't like them ... what a bitch ...


third ... i was getting ready to start working on auctions and watch my tape from last night of Alias ... only to put the tape in and learn it didn't even fucking tape last night ... i mean i waited 3 weeks for a new episode and it was a continuation from the last one aired ... and it didn't tape ... it is a show with a running story and now i have no idea what happened ... so subsequent episodes will make no sense ... i am so pissed ... i even wrote it on my calendar so i wouldn't miss it ... i am mad that it didn't tape but i am also mad that i didn't go upstairs to check and see if it was taping ... i just assumed it would work ... i even checked the set-up twice to make sure it was right ... i really was looking forward to watching that today ...


forth ... there is a HUGE wasp nest outside our door ... david knocked most of it down when we moved in ... but today is actually warm and they are hovering around al over the place working on their nest ... i am deathly alergic to anything that stings ... so having them outside ... SUCKS ...


ok i am going to watch The Princess Diary's on tv ... so maybe that will put me in a better mood ... :)

it seems to have been quite some time since i have written ... not sure why ... a bunch of stuff has been going on ... my parents left on their trip on wednesday ... so david and i have had the house to ourselves ... even though my parents don't bug us at all ... in fact they are quite fun to hang out with ... it has been really nice having the house to ourselves ...


david and i listed a whole bunch of new stuff on ebay ... we already sold a guitar of his ... and we have this bitchen IP phone that is up for auction that is worth at least 400 dollars ... so that would be killer if it sold ... plus a ton of other stuff ...


david is working the day at a restaurant tomorrow and my goal is to at least get all the clothes we are selling organized so i can begin to take pictures and start setting up those auctions ... that is going to be a huge job ... we have 100's of items ...


i have also been working on a big project with the new "Greetings from America" stamps ... "Greetings from America" stamps ... tomorrow i am going to work on putting a page up with what i am doing ... but i am exhausted right now ...


we were up really early this morning so we could go to my brother's house for brunch ... the food was excellent ... and we had a good time ... i should have taken a nap today when i got home but there were two auctions my dad wanted me to bid on for him since they were driving from Palm Springs to Vegas today ... and all the good shows are on on Sunday night ... so no nap ... i did actually relax tonight while i watched The Soprano's and Six Feet Under ... I taped Queer As Folk and then laid on the couch to watch it after the auctions ... all the shows were really good tonight ... i even have Alias on tape for tomorrow while i am getting auction stuff together ...


well at least i feel a little caught up ... i am not sure why i haven't been writing ... it is usually one of my favorite parts of the day ... maybe i just needed a break ..


it it totally time for bed ... i am aching for a groovy nights sleep ... :)

I had a local celebrity sighting today ... when I went to get coffee the man in front of me in line was the coach for Maryland basketball ... everyone was saying "Congratulations" to him ... but I really really wanted to tell him I am bummed they won since KU is my alma mater ... but I didn't think that would go over too well in Maryland ... so I just smiled instead ...

some time in April of last year David lost his glasses ... and they were really really cool glasses ... we looked everywhere ... called the golf courses he had played at to see if they found them which they hadn't and finally conceded that they must have fallen out of his golf bag and got chopped up in the lawn mower ... so in about September or so we went and got him new glasses ... which were nice but he talked about his old ones all the time ... how cool they were and expensive ...


today while going through a duffel bag of clothes to either put them away or sell them on ebay [mind you I still have 5 more duffel bags and 4 more 30 gallon tubs of clothes to go through] I opened the side zipper pocket to see if there was anything in there ... and low and behold there were David's rad glasses ... we bought that duffel bag in march of 2001 when we were in California ... and haven't used it since then ... that means his glasses have been sitting in there for over a year ... I can't believe we didn't realize he hadn't had them since our vacation ...


I started cheering when I found them ... and ran to find David ... he was so happy ... and they look so good and he said they are way better than the new ones he got ...


so I guess me finally going through all our stuff is a good thing ... I am just curious to see what else I find that I thought was gone forever ... :)
