In that case, I think you're making the right decision about the jeans.

I just went to turn on the Christmas tree lights, but it looks like I already did that. I swear I've only had a little bit to drink today.

I don't know if anyone's on Poshmark, but they have virtual parties with party hosts. The party hosts choose host picks and those picks are highlighted in the party - supposedly it leads to sales but it usually doesn't. It's kind of silly and tedious. Anyway, I recently hosted a plus size party, which totally made sense because I sell bags (?), but whatever, it was actually kind of fun to choose stuff.

I noticed a certain style that seemed to be in demand and that there was a shortage of it. Poshmark is only a hobby I have because I hate myself, but I bought a few cheap things on ebay in that style to diversify my PM closet.

This is a very long way of saying that each of the three items I purchased - FROM DIFFERENT SELLERS - arrived today and they are kids sizes, not plus sizes. People are dumb f*cks.

I bought a very small Norfolk pine tree that came pre-decorated. It doesn’t have lights though. After Christmas I’ll remove the decorations and it will be a regular house plant. You’re reminding me that I haven’t had a martini in quite sometime; I think tonight is the night. [emoji483]

I have a Poshmark account but have not really done anything with it yet. Your post did take me to the site to look at MJ bags; but I didn’t find anything I had to have that was inexpensive. I did see a MbMJ Natasha for about $3000. This totally confused me.

I also saw that I had been invited to a bunch of parties. I don’t think I saw any of interest though. This is probably good, as I mentioned that I am trying to alienate myself from people so my Christmas gift list becomes more manageable, lol.

What a bunch of jerks your eBay sellers are. I agonize with making sure my descriptions are accurate and detailed enough when I sell items on eBay. Then it seems there are the dumb f*cks.

A martini sounds so much classier than the honey whiskey kick I've been on.

No lights?! You monster :p This is the first time I've been able to decorate in 8 years and I had planned on going overboard with it; instead the Christmas tree is a mystery tree (leland cypress?) that was abandoned in an alley a few months ago. Its name is Chris now and Chris can't yet be trusted with delicate ornaments, nor is Chris very pretty, but that's okay. Chris will be better prepared next year.

I saw that Natasha. I assume the bag is stuffed with $2800 in cash.

Yeah, the parties used to be more specific, and there used to be Marc Jacobs ones, but now they're mostly vague themes or for obscure labels.

There is almost always a problem when I buy from men. Now, I'm sure there are men out there who can size items correctly, but I've never met one. Like a purchased a sweater last month that didn't have a size tag on the label, but it was listed as a size small. I was sent a large, and it clearly said it was a large on both the hang tag and the packaging that hadn't been shown in the listing. I mentioned this and he said he knew, but the sweater looked small to him so he listed it as a small.

Dude that's not how it works.

Yeah, the best part of tree decoration is probably the lights. I am a monster. [emoji83]

I have never tried honey whiskey; sounds good. I am typing this while sipping my martini wearing flannel pajama pants. So classy, yet not classy.

Ahh, men and sizing.

Yes, the one who sent you the large sweater was possibly trying to be kind and thought that the large sweater didn’t look so large. He should pay attention to the hangtag and package though.

Then there are the 3 men that you bought the plus sized items from that were actually kids sizes. They want women to be tiny, like little toothpicks. They looked at the kids items and decided that they were for plus sized women.

Oh, I almost forgot. About a year and a half ago, I got a great deal on a MJ zip clutch wallet in black, from a man. The quilted one with the 2 push lock pockets on the front. It had silver hardware too; this is exactly what I wanted. I had always wanted one, but waited too long, and it was discontinued.

Imagine my delight in finding one on eBay, brand new with tags with a great starting price and no reserve. The problem for the seller was that it was not listed as a MJ wallet. I just luckily stumbled upon it. His other items for sale were plumbing supplies. In the listing he said that his girlfriend broke up with him before he could give it to her.

I was the only bidder so I won it.

I like Jim Beam Honey. Doesn't even taste like you're drinking straight petrol.

I don't know if that much thought goes into it.

That was a great find! I love that clutch in black with SHW. So classic.

Stages of Disappointment

Stage 1: A surprise present!

Stage 2: This can't be an iPhone!?
IMG_5954.JPG

Stage 3: Okay not an iPhone, but this is still very nice! Who is this from? No card...Wait...

Stage 4: Who the f*ck is Gina
IMG_5951.jpg

I mean, I know who Gina is, because I get lots of mail for her, even though she hasn't lived here for awhile.

Gina's lucky that I'm already suffering the karma consequences of a past life spent - I assume - nailing puppies to playgrounds for small children to find, so now I'm waiting on a return label.

Damn it.

Gina should probably let people who would send her an Apple TV, know, that she moved.

About a month ago my DH was asked to sign for the new shingles for our roof. The problem was, we didn’t order any. He told the delivery guy that it was lucky that he was home to be able to let him know that they weren’t for us.

The response was that he would have just climbed on our roof and left them there.

I think that's how you get a free roof.

I'm getting a little annoyed dealing with this. I didn't get the return label like I was supposed to and so far today I've spent 45 minutes on the phone and then 20 minutes on chat trying to get it sorted out.

And 15 minutes later I'm told I need to call a number that isn't open until Monday (I assume Tuesday)

For why

I am starting to think that the Apple TV was actually meant for you. [emoji519] [emoji342]

It seems that no good deed goes unpunished.
