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:

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 ... :)
