Wow… with the eBay and PayPal drama I’ve been having, I was shocked to receive an email from PayPal today saying that my account was restored. Thank goodness, because now I can file a dispute with the person I bought two Aeropostale purses from on April 10th and STILL haven’t received them. Now, being as impatient as I am, I do understand that things tend to take a little longer when coming from the States due to customs etc., but because the seller is completely ignoring my emails I decided to file the claim.

All I have asked is when and IF the purses were even sent and if she can provide a tracking number. Do you think that is a hard email to answer? I don’t. She’s obviously still active because she has new listings on eBay all the time, and her feedback shows that she’s shipped to some pretty happy customers recently (Ohhhhhhhhhh fast shipping, A++++++!!!!!!!). Well, there are a few negatives in there too, for not keeping communication with customers — oh, big surprise!

So, I filed my claim, I want a refund. I paid a good amount of money for these purses and I want it back.

I lost close to 30lbs last spring/summer, aside from after having my daughter that’s the most I’ve ever lost ever! I felt so good about myself, I had more energy, I didn’t crave the ‘bad’ foods I had so lovingly embraced in the past; I was on my way to a healthier Ashley.

Many people have their own successful way of losing those unwanted pounds. Some go by portion control (like I did), over-the-counter remedies, and some even have found diet pills that work for their specific goal.

Whichever way you want to lose weight, make sure you stay healthy while doing it. Losing weight isn’t worth risks to your health; just like being overweight isn’t. Consult a doctor before trying anything ’serious’.

Ross made a cute area on the side of the house for a flower garden. Yesterday Jordan and I went to the store and bought gardening tools, some foam knee pads to kneel on, two watering jugs (one for each of us) and more seeds.

We worked the ground and planted poppies, marigolds, zinnia’s, phlox, periwinkle… and one more I can’t remember right now. We’re going to plant sunflower seeds later today. This weekend I’ll probably pick up some already grown plants and put them in the front yard.

I admit, I am a big impulse shopper. If I see something I like, and I *need* it right then and there… I have to buy it. I don’t usually shop around for better deals; unless the product is expensive. If that’s the case, I’ll calm down the need to buy it right away and do some searching for the best buy I can find.

I need a new printer. The one I bought last year before I got my laptop was perfect, an all-in-one and is still full of ink. Why do I need a new one? Well, that one isn’t compatible with Vista and they haven’t made a driver to fix the problem.

So, I look in the flyers every week for deals on printers, but I’m starting to think I should just look online. Sites like buy.com seem to have great deals on printers. I think I might check it out!
