I really have nothing to show for Sky Watch this week. It has been gloomy and rainy and cloudy here all week. I've barely even had a chance to get outside for a walk. Yes, I could go through my archives and find something to post, but that is not why I joined Sky Watch. So, I won't be participating this week. I'll still attempt visit everyone else's posts, but I have nothing 'to be proud of' this week. Hopefully, I'll be around to join next week.
If you visited my Heads or Tails post over at Misty's Words, you saw that I had a secret.
Well, this morning, that secret was ruined. You see, I thought I'd be receiving my professional camera in the mail... Hubs found a good deal and we took the plunge and ordered the camera from a particular auction site...
I was talking to one of my very close friends on the instant messenger last night, and he asked if I was excited. I said I was trying not to be, because of how my luck has been lately - I would get excited when I had the camera in my hands. Well, I should have listened to my own advice, because I couldn't help but get excited.
This morning, I received an e-mail that it was a fraudulent seller (we always check, and she had a 99.5% feedback rating!!!), and that I needed to file claim in an attempt to get our money back.
I really can't say anymore - I'm too upset - I just can't think straight. So, I'm going to go visit other blogs in an attempt to get my mind off it and stop crying.
Last night, my step-daughter and I were celebrating via AOL's instant messenger LOL. We thought I had won the gift certificate to use towards the camera. Well, it seems that Rosina Lippi's contest didn't end. She has decided to post the four top voted for captions and have a re-vote.
I realize you have all already made the effort to vote for me. I just want to say thank you for that.
If you are interested in seeing the top four captions, they are here.
Oh well, at least this gave me some wonderful material for a great post, which I'll be doing after the contest ends. I have a very special story I want to share, but it needs to wait until later.
(c) Misty DawnWell, here I sit... all cleaned up and ready to go have fun... but, it isn't going to happen. Not tonight. Not this weekend. Not for at least a whole 'nother week :-(
My husband just got home... he was working on something for my in-laws. It ended up going all wrong, and, well, as I said... he just got home. Now, he is very tired, sore, and extremely frustrated. He's grumpy and aggravated. I have to admit that NONE of this is his fault... at all. He cannot be blamed for my disappointment. He wanted to go out tonight as much as I did. Things just got screwed up. But sometimes, I get SO tired of things getting screwed up. Our things getting screwed up. Us getting screwed up. Just get really tired of it.
I know that I sound like I am being a major pouting baby over something very trivial. But, honestly, it goes much deeper than one night-out being ruined. It involves so much more. And, well, I'm just tired of it. All of it. I'm just tired.
So... Tammy... if you read this, I'll be online tonight.
Well, the game was a total disappointment last night. Needless to say, my precious Cleveland Indians will not be going to the World Series. We were this close! Darnit! I didn't cry too much... I only wailed and threw a temper tantrum shed a couple quiet tears.
Really, I'm ready to jump off a bridge handling it quite well.
You know what they say... "There's Always Next Year." Yeah, whatever.
Don't worry about me though, I'm OK... really...
I mean, hey, at least I don't have to waste my time sitting in front of the TV watching a stupid World Series. I have much better things to do, anyway. Yeah, that's it! I've got much *sniff* *sniff* better things to do than watch stupid baseball games.
Really, it's no big deal.
Going to go convince myself of that now.
