An eBay Beef - No, not beef on eBay…

My good friend Char has created a monster in me. I’m completely addicted to NICE handbags now and LOVE playing around on eBay to see what prizes I can snatch up for the best price.

Psst, Char, if you’re reading this… I’m really feeling like a million bucks lately, thanks to you!

A couple of weeks ago, I won an AWESOME Dooney and Bourke handbag. It’s so darned CUTE! Don’t you think?

Anyway, I waited and waited on my bag to arrive - no notice, nothing. I finally broke down and sent the seller an email on a Thursday. She stated she’d send it out Priority Mail the following Tuesday which she did. From payment to arrival, it was 19 days.

Now, I do love the handbag so I gave her positive feedback with a “slow to ship but worth the wait” notation as my comment.

She responded back with feedback for me with this notation: “Quick payment…Cannot help P.O. SLOWNESS !!!”

Now why would someone purposely lie like that? And on the feedback of someone who knows the truth?

I know people lie, but gosh darnit, don’t lie and attach the deception to me!

Did I ever tell you how much I hate liars? I know I shouldn’t take such things so darned personal, but dangit, if someone can tell a white lie so easily, doesn’t it make you wonder what else they could lie about?

I’d much rather someone slap my face as to tell me a lie.

Ok, I’m done now. I feel SOOOOOOO much better!

Now back to the bag… cute huh? And I snagged that baby for a cool $65

My Awesome Black Friday Deal

I bought something, on Black Friday, that I have been wanting ever since I started blogging almost a year ago. You see, I’ve been blogging on an ancient Compaq computer that is a piece of…well you know…poopie, as my kids would say. I have dealt with it freezing up, shutting down on me and causing me to lose everything and trying to share it with 3 computer crazed kids in the house. Needless to say, it’s been a challenge.

Here’s me with my new laptop.

I didn’t actually get up early on Friday to go shopping, but my parents, who were visiting from Texas did. They called me from Best Buy, which was a total circus, and asked if I wanted a Sony VAIO. Ummmm….YES! I had been eyeing it from the Thanksgiving Day ads, but I was not willing to fight the crowds for it. My parents decided to check on it for me and they had one left. They said that if the person who had the ticket for it didn’t claim it by 9 o’clock that my parents could have it. Well sure enough, no one came back for it so I got a Sony VAIO laptop for about 400 buck-a-roos! Woohoo!
