Online Shopping et al

Seems as though my online holiday shopping has gone a bit haywire. I ordered a gift for someone (and I can’t say what it is just in case said person decides to take a gander at this blog), and in it’s stead, received two yellow washcloths. Just washcloths. I’m left wondering who might this order really belongs to, and even more important: who orders two washcloths? I could understand a set of towels, but TWO WASHCLOTHS? Odd.

Regardless, now I have to straighten this out, and I’m unhappy at the prospect of having to mail back the two washcloths (which I will gladly do, especially since they are yellow with butterflies, which will not match the color schemes of any of my bathrooms), and hoping that the actual gift that I ordered actually arrives sometime before Christmas. Besides, I’m sure that somewhere, someone is pining over their lost washcloths. Then again, maybe not.

Big movie weekend — saw Apocalypto AND The Holidays. I liked them both — obviously for different reasons. The Holidays was the ultimate chick flick, and Apocalypto was gory, but a great story — not for the squeamish. As I did in Turistas, I found myself looking away from the screen during the bloody parts.

Other that, work, work, more work, and trying to figure out how I’m going to take a few days off around Christmas.

Here’s something to ponder - I’m convinced that a woman that I work with wears a toupee. Something to ponder . . .
