ceebeegeeWorking on Midsummer costume stuff right now. I just tried on the black Conway pants I got on Sunday. My God--I think these are children's sizes. It's probably a good thing I have a weight problem right now because I don't think they'd fit otherwise! I *do* have hips...
I had meant to bid on this
beautiful garland last night after rehearsal but was so tired when I got him I forgot until after the auction was over (it ended around 1 am). So I emailed the seller saying I would love to do Buy It Now at the same price (since the seller hadn't gotten any bids on it)--I would pay for it today (Tuesday) as I needed it immediately. The seller emailed me back saying she would do it but was going to add $5 to the price, and I could just pay directly so she wouldn't have to relist it. This irritated me mightily--I felt she was just trying to take advantage of the fact that I "needed" it. Every time I've done that (emailed a seller after the auction closed, asking if I could still buy it), I have NEVER had them increase the price. Adding on an extra $5? Bitch, please. You didn't sell it the first time. And she was going to save on the relisting fee as well. Stop trying to gouge people. I found a much less expensive garland on eBay that is not as elaborate, but I can buy roses and attach them myself. It's a shame as the first garland was gorgeous but I ain't made of money, and I get very stubborn when I feel people are being greedy.
