Busy, Busy, Busy

Current mood: bearmood — working busy
Man, I haven’t posted all week. I've been a busy little bee around here. Since it seems that my manager at work has lifted whatever grudge he had against me and is actually giving me some hours, I’ve been trying to take advantage.

quilting beeI just had to share my latest eBay acquisition. She’s so darned cute, I just could not resist (plus it only cost $3.00 and I got my tax return so I figured I’d splurge just a little). It’s a little figurine entitled “Quilting Bee”. I got her for my craft room figurine collection. I also love bees. I absolutely love her cute little thimble on her thumb and how she's sitting in the middle of a flower. Too cool.

Speaking of eBay, I had to buy some black ink for my printer to print stuff for my portfolio. The ink came on Thursday, with $1.87 POSTAGE DUE! I was so mad. He charged me $3.00 for shipping, used a priority mail box (free box) turned inside out to ship it, and then only paid $1.98 towards shipping. I emailed him last night about my displeasure and he refunded me $1.00. Yeah, won’t be buying ink from that guy again. If he had sent me the whole amount that I had to pay to get my package from the post office, I probably would have left positive feedback for him. Just goes to show you can’t totally trust the eBay feedback system. This guy had 100% positives and over 400 sales. Oh, well.

I’m in the middle of packing up my Christmas decorations. Yes, it is March and they’re still up. I have had absolutely no motivation to pack them up. I did manage to get the tree down earlier, though. At least I didn’t have that still in my house (being real and all). Between that bout with strep and the whole portfolio fiasco, the decorations weren’t exactly on the top of my priority list. Since it felt so spring-like today, it was time to get them down. Marcus can hopefully help me get them all to storage tomorrow.

Well, Mike and Nina are coming over in a bit, so I’d better grab myself some dinner before they get here. Maybe I can get a little sanding on my portfolio case in before they get here, too.
