Current Mood : a bit out of it, really.
Dearest Son woke up and barfed, so he's home today. School said there's a tummy bug going around, so I fully expect to be bleh tomorrow. Such is life ! He's slept most of the day, but he still wants to go to his grandparents', and even knowing about the bug, they still want him over. So we'll drop him off this afternoon.
Last night, his throat hurt, so I ran to the IGA down the street and got some Chloraseptic spray. The spray pump was shielded by a plastic cap... that's perfect as a large glass for Elphie and Fiyero ! Yeah, I did that as a kid, too. But some ideas stand the tests of time.
Since the not-Skipper holiday dress fit the Jesus doll, I tried it on the Musical Disney Princess girls. A bit too wide for them, but I'll take it in a bit on the sides. The Pirates digital pocketwatch keeps good time, too. And the white Happy Meal bunny toy looks adorable with LDP Snow White. So I didn't do so bad with yesterday's purchases as I thought.
And I learned, to my surprise, that the cute Barbie saddle shoes that I have always liked are simply the ‘everybody's got a million of ‘em' flat white sneakers with black ‘saddles' painted on ‘em. It's true ! Looking closely, I can see the two Adidas-like stripes molded under the black paint. Sheesh. And here I am, so happy I had another pair ! I can make as many pair as I want, in as many colors as I want, with those darn sneakers and a fine-point Sharpie ! Man, I am sooo silly...
Saw something interesting on an eBay auction today. In tiny, eight-point print, one seller said how she'd always paid up if she'd estimated shipping incorrectly. But no more ! If shipping was more than she said, well, she'd just send the ‘winner' an invoice for the balance. And if it was really necessary, she'd provide post office receipts. If the buyer didn't pay up, she'd leave bad feedback.
Umm, dear ? It's up to you, as the seller, to set shipping correctly and accurately. I'll bid - or not bid - based on the item's total price, including shipping. For me to pay, say $15. for the item, and $5. to ship, I've budgeted $20. max for the transaction. If you try to hit me for more because you screwed up, well, sorry, hon. That's your problem, not mine. I've already paid as per our agreement, and don't think holding bad feedback over my head as extortion really plays well with others - or eBay's Terms of Service.
