Sorry, I’m a bit
ticked. Finally ordered Doll Junk :
Collectible and Crazy Fashions From the 70s and 80s last Friday, before
Memorial Day. Since I was trying to go my usual ‘cheap’ route, I bought a used
one. Darn bookseller’s ‘third party shipping handler’ hasn’t sent it to USPS
yet, it’s still in New Jersey, although they did at least stir themselves to print
a USPS label, so they can mark it as shipped. And I went with that particular
bookseller because all their reviews started off with ‘got it much faster than
planned !’ over and over. It’s supposed
to be here anywhere from Monday to next Monday. I’m already doubting it. Meanwhile,
the MLP set Dearest Son finally saved
up enough to buy Friday evening will be here Monday. And the prescription I
ordered from the VA Tuesday will be here Monday. Arrrgh.
I know, I’m whining,
first world problems, waaaah, I’m not getting a book about doll clothes fast
enough. But it is darned annoying when they took your money already – last week,
the day I ordered it, in fact – but they’re just sitting on it. Hope it’s
keeping someone’s butt warm.
Otherwise, it was a
nice Sunday. Harvested the dirty clothes and cheap-serged fabric crops from the
bedroom, ignored the growing pile of dirty dishes. I feel too sparkly from my
freshly cleaned Goodwill earrings to scrape plates right now. I miss wearing
huge, silly earrings. May start up again, Heavens know ridiculous jewelry didn’t
go out of style with the 80s ! Plus, what I have from ‘back in the day’ is now
vintage !
I did ask if I could
buy the rest of the mismatched, broken jewelry tray after I’d found all the
earring mates I could, but was gently refused. They have to send it to ‘the
bins’, which is basically where Goodwill merch goes to die. We have a Clearance
Center about 45min. away, but I’ve heard so many horror stories about them. ‘Don’t
go without gloves’, ‘human poop clothes’, ‘aggressive eBay resellers’, and ‘increased
per-pound rates’ make Dumpster diving sound preferable.
