It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~So we have this tiny leak in our roof that no one can seem to find. I’ve had a roofer come out and he couldn’t figure it out. B’s been on the roof (and the attic where it is leaking to) looking for it multiple times. Nothing. The roofer suggested we go in the attic when it rains and look. Umm, problem is that it doesn’t leak every time it rains. We had basically a monsoon here the other night when B was up-north and OF COURSE it leaked. However, it was like 1am and it was just WB and I here and you know I wasn’t about to crawl up there and check things out. Totally annoying.
~I still haven’t decided if we are going to Chicago this weekend to check out Blogher. Now I feel less like I want to check out the Expo Hall at Blogher and more like I just want to go spend a weekend in Chicago. LOL! But to get to my trouble, I don’t know where we’d stay. I want it to be cheap AND fabulous. Has anyone used Priceline or HotWire? I think I have asked this before, but I want to know again! Have you gotten any insane deals or is it just easier to book normally?
~Please tell me that I am not the only one who is so overly invested in these trashy reality shows. Like I NEED to know what happens next week on RHONJ like you wouldn’t believe. Did Joe and Teresa really make-up? Did Joe and Joe throw blows again? I gotta know. Why can’t I just be one of those people that finds documentaries interesting? But no, I’m worried about CT and Diem. And these Big Brother idiots. And Vicki and Tamara. And is crazy angry Krissi (who I love BTW) going to win Master Chef? I know I am not alone, but I do secretly envy people who don’t like reality shows.
~Does anyone ever order from Schwan’s? B talks about their Rocky Road ice-cream all the time and I finally ordered some the other day, along with a few other items. I love the home delivery service and don’t find the prices to be insane, so I think we’re going to order on a regular basis. Does anyone else use Schwan’s? What do you get? Any recommendations??
~And finally, can someone explain to me why it’s cheaper / better for GAP to ship my order into multiple shipments instead of just doing it all at once? I placed a large order last week when they had 40% off the clearance items and basically every day I get e-mails saying part of my order has shipped. One shirt here, two shirts there. It makes no sense. I get why, say like Fancy does it because everything is shipping from different places / vendors. But GAP? I don’t understand at all. How about they just wait until everything can be gathered and ship it all at once and charge a bit less for the clothes? Shipping is free and I just don’t see how it’s cost effective if they ship in 10 separate shipments instead of like just one?
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
