Furious!

alright fine.  you all know how much i hate typing on this damn laptop.  or maybe you don't but I'm at the point where I'm going to plunk money down on a new computer.

so I select my sister's #1 choice from tiger direct AND they want me to pay $40 for shipping! because the thing supposedly weighs 30 lbs!  and all the FREE SHIPPING NOW signs are only on orders less than 20 lbs.

so I go to her second choice AND I can order it from clear across the country and pay $20 for shipping AND no provincial sales tax because it is in another province. (but I still have to pay GST)

I'm pissed.  and conflicted.

I didn't mind paying sales tax but F*CK this if you think I am paying $40 for shipping! AND an additional  $70 for sales tax

on the additional anger charts.  I've been working on the new costume... the blue fringe.  and I had the bra covered to the point where I was going to start adding the embellishments.  come to find out that the older blue sparkle fabric that I used to cover the bra.... is a different blue than the new blue sparkle fabric that I bought to make the matching skirt & pants.  SCRAPPED the bra and started over.  No wonder none of the embellishments looked quite right when I was trying to arrange them in place.

p.s. happy f*n birthday! thanx          >:-[
