Where is my good deal?

What makes a good deal?

Good question.

Last week, I ordered this from Amazon.  It was a good deal, I thought; it was something I needed badly, and it was about $19 (about $24 after tax and shipping) when I normally pay about $50 for similar items, and it could be in my home in about a week.

It was supposedly delivered yesterday.

It wasn't.

The tracking information says it was delivered at my doorstep at 3:42pm.  I was home around 3:30 and left around 4:15 and THERE WAS NEVER ANY PACKAGE.

So where is my good deal?!

I call USPS customer service and informed them of the issue.  They gave me a case number and took all of the details so.... in all of my years living at this address, I have never had an issue with deliveries.  Everything was on time, everything was safe at my door... I recall only one time in the last five years that something like this happened.  One package (not for me) was broken into after laying around the door for over a week.  Some cosmetics were stolen.

*headdesk*

I hope this is just a case of oops-I-set-this-down-at-the-wrong-place or hey-I'll-scan-this-as-delivered-and-get-it-there-tomorrow and NOT a case of Oooh-Amazon-package-let-me-take-this-because-it-might-be-cool!

But most of all... I hope I get my good deal.

Boston, my thoughts and prayers are with you tonight.

Cure for the Broken Stove Blues

My broken stove is getting replaced on Wednesday, but at EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.  Dear Gods.

Frustrated, I went for a walk and shot these.

Frustrations of life.....

Life can be F R U S T R A T I N G!

My stove has officially bit the dust.  On the weekend that my parents are visiting, no less.

Life: major points

Jean: no points

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.....

Somebody nice take me out to dinner?  Please?  When my stove is fixed, I'll cook you dinner in return!

Recent Pictures

Greetings.  Been a while.

So the weather in the 'burgh as finally (FINALLY) turned to Spring-appropriate degrees.  As a result, I was able to go out and about to forage for some pretty new shots.

Not much else going on in my life-- I continue to work far more than I play, though I resolve to change that, and celebrated my 29th Birthday last week (4/3).

As the weather improves, I will post more new pictures.  Hopefully, next time I roam about, somebody will come with me!  Picnic anyone? Kite flying?  Dinner?  Drinks?  Let's do it all!
