UPS: Postal Shit

Can I just tell you how much I hate UPS right now? So I ordered two tops from JCrew, b/c I have no cute going out clothes at all. I was very excited as they were both on super sale and totally awesome. Well, UPS lost my package.

They delivered it to a completely different town, with a completely different address, there wasn't one thing that was the same about the two addresses. So they tell me, well the driver went to look for it, but the people in that house haven't seen it. Well I'm sure someone walked off with it! So, while the driver scours the neighborhood (I don't even believe for a second this is happening) I have to sit and wait for them to find it.

I can't get the clothes I ordered again b/c they were clearance and they're sold out. And, UPS tells me I have to call the shipper (JCrew) and have them put a tracer on it. Well WTF is the point of putting a tracer on it when they know what happened to it?

Missing Pages

So I was reading Trading Up by Candace Bushnell. I got to page 187 and looked to the next page only to see that it was not the right page. Upon further inspection I noticed that not only did this page start in the middle of a sentence, it was page 217. I flip further, the pages continue until 248 and then they start over at 217 again.

So I'm missing 30 pages from my book. I stopped reading it. WTF am I supposed to do? I was fairly invested in finding out what happens in the book. I hate the main character and I want her to get hit buy a bus. I doubt that will happen, but now I'll never know!

Merry "Christ"mas

Have you seen all the stuff about how saying Happy Holidays is wrong? So stupid, everyone can celebrate their own holiday. I hate religion, why can't everyone just agree to disagree. If you don't like Happy Holidays go buy your cards at a Christian store. Vent over.

We got our Christmas Tree on Monday night. Now, you have to understand, my entire life when we went to get our Christmas tree we would go to a "tree farm". We would wander around amongst the trees and find the perfect tree. Sometimes we would bicker about the type of tree, sometimes we would end up (after 2 hours) thinking that the first tree we saw was perfect. I will never forget my mom standing next to trees in the cold with her arm up in the air to see if the tree was too tall. If it was taller than her arm the angel wouldn't fit on top.

My first real tree after college, was bought at Home Depot. I'm not proud of this, but we didn't know where else to go. See I live in an "urban" area now, so there are no tree farms. We get there and the trees are already wrapped up, how are you supposed to tell if the tree will look right in your house? Well, we got a tree, and it's ghetto. There are holes and it's too narrow, but I love that tree anyway.

Next: Has anyone ever asked you if you were doing a "themed" Christmas? My neighbor asked me, and all I could think was, "Isn't Christmas the theme?". Apparently not, I guess some people decorate for the holidays in special colors, not just red and green. I guess I'm an old fashioned gal.

More empty-headed thoughts

So I think stupid things all the time. "Who knows where thoughts come from, they just appear".

I drive to work this morning and see geese flying in a V formation, this makes me think, do the birds know who gets to fly in the front? Is it a different bird each time? Do they just fight to be in the front, or is it better to be in the back? Do birds even wonder this or is it all just instinctive. I doubt with their brains they think about this stuff.

Then, I'm driving past S&S, and I think, if they're a SuperMarket why aren't they also a SuperPharmacy instead of just a regular pharmacy? I mean who would pass up a SuperPharmacy and go to a regular one? It's like having Tylenol that isn't extra strength, it's just Tylenol.

Tea

I recently started drinking hot tea. I never did that before. Then this weekend I drank long island iced tea, I didn't do that often before. I've decided it should be my drink of choice when looking to get blitzed. Of course I did learn that my limit is two and a quarter!

I spent the weekend in Miami with some great friends. LF, I missed you and you're probably the best person I know, and I'm saying it sober this time!

I could tell you more about my weekend, but where's the fun in that?
