Things I get in the mail (part 1)
Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 7:15PM I spend a lot of time online. So I do a lot of shopping there, too, because I almost never have time to just go out and browse actual SHOPS.
(Except today. But apparently one cheque cleared and the one I deposited didn't, so I got to endure pitying looks instead from 19-year-old Old Navy employees as my debit card got declined. Twice. Y'know, there's probably a reason I mostly shop online.)
(Those clothes were really cute, too. Even if the jeans were a size 12 and I've never been a size 12 in my fucking life, thankyouverymuch, menopausal hormone thingies.)
(I'm kind of depressed now. What was my point again?)
ANYWAY. Online shopping. I love shopping online, and I especially love the second part of the process - getting stuff in the mail. It's like a secondary shopping rush that you don't get at the till at Old Navy especially when you don't actually get to buy anything. I really need to let this go.
I got these armwarmers a little while ago, from the lovely Lisa's etsy shop, So So Belle Boutique. She custom made them for me, and threw in a super cute coffee sleeve, too. Possibly I'm a little old to be rockin' the armwarmer look, but I don't care, they're hawt. Rock n' Roll with just enough Pretty.
So, go! Shop! And then tune in again and I'll post a necklace, or possibly a book. Maybe some kind of footwear? I don't know, I can never remember what I ordered.

I'd rather shop online too...the salesmen are invisible!!
Very cute, but I don't like things on my arms. I'm weird.
Those are great. I've been meaning to get a pair for the office. If you think your too old just wait until I'm rockin' a pair. I'll just look like the grandma that can't knit booties.
Online shopping makes me happy too.
But things on my wrists? Notsomuch.
I'm sure they make you look totally hot though... totally.
I don't do tea cosies on my wrists but enjoy! Rock them gurl!
Really? Arm warmers? You know about "sleeves," right?
So cute and thanks for the reminder I need to pay my Old Navy card is past due!
I too love online shopping! My husband? Not so much!! But you are right...it is another rush to get your mail and see all the packages. WooHoo! Love it! And your warmers are cool!

I love getting stuff in the mail. It really is like Christmas. Otherwise I have to shop in person though, I never know how stuff is going to fit.
You are rocking the arm warmers though. It's making my arms sweaty just thinking about it.
Ahh, the story of my life. All I want in life is for cheques to clear and cash immediately, for bank transfers to take no time at all (good grief, if I can text a mate in the US in seconds why can't they transfer money electronically any quicker than "up to 3 working days"?!)
I love getting stuff in the mail...except bills. But packages are always fun - Princess Nagger even loves getting packages and seems disappointed if what's in the package is for me and not her.
You're rockin' the wrist warmers - I'm still chuckling how you slipped in a little birdy. ;)
You know what's even better than shopping online and having it show up? When people send you stuff you didn't even ask for! I think I keep blogging just for that.
I got in a CD and two books for the boys today, WOOT! I love when I pre-order things and forget and when it arrives it's like I sent myself a surprise.
I love shopping online and then sometimes I forget what I ordered so it's like a present!
Armwarmers, not for me but you seem to make it work.
Loving the online shopping especially during the holiday season where I don't have to deal with people. Does that make me a Grinch?
I'm a mail freak. I peek thru the blinds just waiting for the mail truck to come by everyday.
Here's a trick. If you have a larger order on a site that offers free shipping, order just enough to get the free shipping then place another a day or two later for multiple mail-gasms!
I live for Ebay. Mostly because I live in a place with a lot of tiny people, so I feel like an amazon and would like to find some large women's clothes that are not ALL FLOWERED OLD LADY CLOTHES.
See, we all have our things we've gotta let go of. :)
Don't think I've ever received the 'bird' with such style before. I actually only shop online if I cannot find what I'm looking for ANYWHERE within 100 miles. Which is a good thing as I spend way to much as it is.
OMG! I LOVE this post!!! Y'know, I used to love shopping (real shopping...in stores and malls, and cool boutiques). Now I do most of my shopping online. Some for the same reasons you do, but also because I live on an island and there are no malls here.
Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving a comment. I'm going to have to bookmark you/add you to my faves, because I have a lot of catching up to do on your blog! LOVE IT!
I'm the same way! I adore Etsy and have shared
some credit card declined embarrassment.
Hubby lost his card and reported it stolen.
Both my card and his were cancelled and reissued
and he forgot to mention it. SIGH it's a good thing
he's pretty. Hugs, jen
Armwarmers? Ha! Isn't it almost summer? They are cute though. Sorry Old Navy turned you down, those bastards. I do ALL of my shopping online, I hate stores. My UPS man hates me since he's always having to deliver shit but that's his fucking job so he can suck my dick.
