weekend blather
lets see
what did i do
i did a lot of nothing
yup
really
aside from beautification
total indulgence
of
both massage and facial
i did nothing constructive
i didnt even shop
okay
that is not true
i did some online shopping
i dealt with two really poorly constructed websites
i dislike websites with bad search options
hard to find links
hidden from sight dropdown menus
why
make it hard
for
someone to find something
if
you want them to shop
on etsy
i couldn't find the links under my account link
for a link an email told me to use
to end a dispute
i had ordered a scarf
the etsy seller
made it seem
as if
they were shipping from the midwest
not true
they were actually shipping from china
they did not answer numerous emails
requesting shipping info
til
i opened
the etsy case and got paypal involved
all
of which
coincided
with
the actual delivery
over a month
after
the item was supposedly shipped from the midwest
(maybe the midwest of china)
anyway
i also tried to buy something on the new york transit museum site
i have a membership there
the site did not recognize my membership number
their help was closed for the weekend
such a bad way to run a site
that
wants
donations
irritating
on sunday
i bought a new printer
see
i sure told a whopper
about not shopping
toonman needed a new printer
all the printers
i looked at were pricy
none had back loading
i was going to give him my printer
getting the new one for myself
thats what ended up happening
but
for more money
than i planned
and
for
an epson not a canon
none of the canon printers
not even the priciest
had back loading
i need that for the cards i make
the epson is compatible with my iMac OS
has the back loading feature
got great reviews
so yeah i did some shopping
also did some movie watching
toonman said
he had
the perfect
saturday afternoon movie for us
was i game
yup
we watched and thoroughly enjoyed
guardians of the galaxy
even tho we didnt see it in 3D
didnt need to see it in 3D
i am just saying
after dinner
we watched
an excellent jake gyllenhaal in a very creep role
nightcrawler
i highly recommend it
i finished
the goldfinch
what a amazing read
what an incredibly involving story
i think it would make a really good movie
hanukkah is this week
a friend
sent me a photo
of
a very funny
menorah
called a
menorahsaurus
got me looking online
at
other funny menorahs
available for celebrating the festival of lights
in the end
we'll use
my mother's menorah
as we do every year
since
she gave it to me
when we got married
a zillion years ago
anyway
that was my weekend
how was yours?
