Things that suck....
Swim suit shopping sucks...... unless you have no cleavage or very little of it. If you are one of those people then you would have been in swimwear heaven shopping with me today. I am not one of those people and am now just completely annoyed. You're damned if you have cleavage and damned if you don't, just depends on the arena. What the heck ever happened to the underwire and why does every freaking swimsuit need built in booby padding? Oh wait, I did find a cute little black number with an underwire and no padding....it was $100....ON. SALE! Needless to say, the only thing that I came away from this shopping trip with was a bad mood.

A certain online auction site SUCKS even worse than swimsuit shopping. Seriously there must be some real morons running the show around there. I have sold over $5K worth of strollers in the last couple of months and today (I'm sure they had a little help) I get an email saying that I am attempting to circumvent fees b/c I offer my customers a color choice on the stroller. WTF is that all about? Me and the other 10 or so sellers that have been selling these things.....we all offer a color choice and have been for months. We are not offering more than one for sale or selling off site, we just give them a color choice for the item that they purchased. So I have to take a couple of words out of my listing, they were gracious, gave me my listing fees back and apologized for the inconvenience, asking me to reword the listing. So I reword it and still email them telling them to review their own policies, explaining that they have enjoyed collecting healthy fees off of my profits for months now without complaint. I copied the rules and regs and resent it to them, explained the situation and understood that they must have just been confused. LOL Seriously, there are people out there scamming the hell out of buyers and they do nothing, insane shipping fees are posted on some sales to truly circumvent fees and they turn a blind eye but they are targeting us stroller sales people who are making them tons of money. Get a freaking clue...... Maybe it is because I haven't listed auctions in a couple of weeks, I'm sick of looking at strollers. LOL or maybe it was because someone had too much time on their hands and had a bee up their butt. Either way, all is good and no worries.

While we are talking all things that suck.....weeds suck. I HATE gardening, could seriously care less about flower beds and all things green like that. I enjoy looking at and having them but do not enjoy the process of obtaining or maintaining them. Gardening is not cathartic to me, it is caustic and I really would rather just hire someone to do it all for me....but until that can happen.... I have perennials planted along with some shrubbery and while I may add a few things with more color to fill the beds, it will be done under protest. I did pull weeds tonight, the damn things are about the only thing that will stay healthy in this dry weather. I guess I'll plant something this next week, it'll hurt my hip and back but by darn, I'll have floral and foliage (insert eyeroll here)

I'm going to bed, probably to have nightmares about worthless swimwear. Nite!
