Mailings, modeling, and magenta sweaters.

+ So, I got all the work done that I could do today in a little over 7 hours. I picked Isaac up from home on my way back from Orange Park (where I got stuff for church, so I count it as work time) and he worked on his laptop on my desk while I worked assembling notebooks and letters at my counter. That was nice - I could just turn around and lean over and kiss him. He was kind enough to stuff and seal the envelopes for me as I did other work, which is why I got out of there in under 8 hours. I just have the bulletin and sermon PowerPoint to do on Saturday evening, which means I may get to do more at Fellowship Group than just eat. Yay!

+ Wednesday nights are such awesome TV nights. Pushing Daisies, Criminal Minds (most Wednesdays, but, sadly, not tonight), Law & Order, and Bones to watch online tomorrow or Friday. I just heard the other day that Pushing Daisies is canceled though. Sad. But at least we get to finish this season - unlike what happened to Journeyman last year.

+ So apparently the friends I referred to Swagbucks had a good day too. Instead of being up to 83 points, I'm up to 99! ROCK ON! I'm 1/4 of the way to a $50 Southwest Airlines GC! Thanks to all who've joined under me.

+ Yesterday as I walked to work I saw a sign on a church a few blocks from our house that Tim Hawkins is coming there on Dec. 15! Tim Hawkins is tied with Brian Regan for my favorite comedian. We will so be there to see him! I can't wait. (If you haven't heard of him, look him up on YouTube.) If I hadn't walked to work, I wouldn't have known about this! Walking to work is fun too because Ken and John (youth pastor) walk by my office and look confused - "Wait - I didn't know you were here. Where's your car?" Hehe.

+ I'm wearing a magenta sweater with pretty big (larger than a nickel) jeweled flower buttons today. It's a recent thrift store find, originally from Express, and part angora, so it's really soft. It is SO not traditional Bethany (did I mention it's magenta and has big jeweled flower buttons?), but I love it! Speaking of recent thrift store finds that I love, those 3 pairs of $3 jeans that I got at a recent storewide 50% off sale have pretty much been worn every day since I got them. This is now my Holy Grail brand and size, I think. I hope they still fit when I lose the inches off my hips.

+ I uploaded my potential commercial comp. card photos to Facebook, and would love your opinions on them. If you have a FB, you can leave comments there. If you don't, please let me know here which ones you like best. I need to know which ones are people's faves so I can choose which ones to have printed to show to Suzi. I may end up printing them all... unless there're some no one likes at all. With prints running 19¢ each, if there are just 5 I don't print, that's saving $1. Yeah, I'm cheap. Did I mention paying upwards of $5K for a new roof this week?  =o/

+ I listed some of my CVSing goodies and shoes I barely wore on Ebay. If any of you wear a size 10 shoe, or 11 if you like knee-high boots, check out my auctions. *crosses fingers that it'll all sell*

+ I think getting more cardio has been helping me sleep better. I haven't been laying awake for hours any night since I started walking everywhere. That's a big praise!

+ I've been seriously craving Gilmore Girls lately. I would start watching them again if I wasn't already working my way through Buffy for the first time since it aired. Heh. Maybe I can do both at once?

+ Well, I need to go finish up my laundry and pack for Charleston. We're leaving EARLY, so the next time I update will be from there.  =o)

Ah, I wish I had known you wear size 11! I would've definitely rather sold them to you than some stranger on Ebay. Someone has already bid on them though, so I can't pull the auction. However, it is only up to $5 + shipping right now, so you can still afford it. Hehe. The auction ends tonight (Sunday) at 10:39 Eastern time. I really wish they would sell for more though, because I paid a lot more for them.

I love WNTW, but I don't have cable so I've only seen it a few times. Still, I *HATE* pointy-toed shoes, no matter how much they push them. Bleh. I didn't realize these were so pointy when I bought them. Not like it matters, since they were too big anyway.

[t-jay.livejournal.com]

Could I have Michael bid on them and then me not pay you, or have you ship them to me, until January? Obviously I would pay you first...and would bid a LOT more than $5! LOL

Let me know by 10 p.m. tonight, or whenever it closes. I may send you a text as well....

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'm not sure what Ebay rules are about that. Like, I don't know if they will flag my/Michael's account for not collecting/paying. Hmm. I will let you know by 10:00 if I find out anything.

[t-jay.livejournal.com]

I hope it works out for us. It's ridiculous that someone bid so little on them.

But if it doesn't, it's not that big of a deal for me. I already have a pair of pointy-toed boots, just not leather...but they are Liz Claiborne that I bought on clearance at our local Value City when they said they were going out of business...and then retracted...and since have, in fact, gone under. :oP

However, since that heel is a little smaller than what is on the boots I own...*Sigh*...LOL

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

I have some non-leather ones too, and I love them, but my leather ones are my favorite. I paid the price for the favorites, too. Hehe. They may be the most expensive item of clothing I've ever purchased.

And the heels on my faves are about the same as these, and they're so comfy but still sophisticated. You'll love them!

Michael just told me that eBay wouldn't ding either your nor Michael's accounts Michael said he once ran into a situation where he won a bid but then had an unexpected situation where he had to delay payment a little bit. He communicated that with the seller and the seller had no problem with it. He says method and speed of payment are between the buyer and the seller and stays out of it so long as the seller pays the seller fee.

So, of course, this is up to you, if you believe I will make good on payment within a couple to three weeks. :o) Let me know, as well as if you find out anything further, too.

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

Good to know for future reference. I would've said yes anyway, just so you know. =o) I just had a CRAZY night. I swear every kid at our church kids club was on speed, and then my dad dislocated his finger and my mom is on her way back from Charleston and we have to pick her up across town and I have a cold... yeah. It's been One of Those Nights. =oÞ

I sent you some text messages, but just in case...I went ahead and had Michael do the "Buy it Now" option at your asking price of $49.99, and you should receive payment via PayPal in a couple of days. I simply could not turn down this offer. LOL :oD

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

Wow! He paid very quickly. I will be mailing the boots today! I hope you love them! You got quite a deal, too, as I did when I purchased them (for the same price as you, if I recall correctly). That is apparently a very high end brand. You can find deeply discounted sandals of theirs for $40, so boots must retail for like $200!

[t-jay.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Although it will take a day or two for PayPal to process the payment, in case you prefered waiting for that...but otherwise, this should mean I'll get them in time for my California trip! :oD

You still have my address, correct? (Maple Street.)

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

Yep, I have it. Turns out I may not be able to send it till tomorrow though. (The roofer is coming over to collect on the work they did, but I don't know when. =oÞ ) But I should be able to send it tomorrow. =o)
