I am boycotting online ordering!

This is my new thing. I have not had much success with this lately. I have always been fond of online shopping, but lately I have been completely unlucky. Let me start at the beginning…I have a new favorite shirt. Yes, I know that sounds cheesy. But I have just a blue cotton halter-top shirt that is completely comfortable…which means I probably wear it way too much. It has turned into my “Rice Village” shirt. Anyway….the point is that I love the damn shirt. So when I found the shirt on gap.com for $9.99, just in a different color, I got excited and ordered the stupid thing. Can’t hurt to have two, right?? Another reason I hate online shopping now….unless you order a ton of stuff and get free shipping, they totally screw you on that! Anyway…I finally get my package in the mail, open it, and what is inside? Is it a cute green top? NO. WHITE JEANS. They sent me white jeans. What the hell?? And this was after Labor Day…so what the hell did I want with white jeans? And yes, I did check the size just to see. And they were at least 4 sizes too big. Ha. :-) That is my gap story. I also have a CVS story. I am just frustrated with online buying in general!! Grrr….

On to a more cheerful topic…Astros games have been awesome to watch lately. Absolutely crazy to be 2.5 games back from the Cardinals. Although maybe I am the crazy one…especially when I realize I am watching the Cardinals games on their home page, through that gameday screen. Goofball. Oh well!

Hope everyone is having a better week than me! I have a rather large, sold out event on Thursday…speaking of, if I don’t turn off online registration soon I will be in big trouble. Damn. To me being sold out is a good thing, but everyone keeps saying we don’t want to turn people away! Well…too damn bad! Because the hotel that I have is the only one that was available on Sept 28…and I am maxing out its ballroom. And I am also going crazy because this hotel is my favorite, and my contact there was an absolutely awesome person to work with. But now he is gone, so I have a new contact. But he is a little too much of a salesman for me.

Hope everyone has a good rest of their week!
