Problems… that aren’t really problems. :) I mean, they are. But they shouldn’t be.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I don’t care how great a return policy is. I just don’t have the wherewithal to take that trip and stand in that line…
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Seriously, are you SURE that’s skim? Because I recently fought with a pair of Spanx, and I don’t want to have to do that again… (In actuality, I love whole milk with all of my heart.)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What do you mean her wedding pictures are ‘Friends Only’?? *throws laptop in disgust*
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I hate packing. Clothes, not heat. Duh. But in actuality? I hate packing jewelry. Doesn’t matter if you use a jewelry roll. Doesn’t matter if you clasp your pearl necklace ahead of time. Doesn’t matter if your chandelier earrings seem really straightforward and uncomplicated…
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I am comfortable in saying that 90% of the craigslist transactions in which I’ve taken part have made me question my life choices. I’m just throwing that out there.

I want to put my old printer/scanner/fax on craigslist too (’cause apparently it is a gem with Windows XP, but hates my new Windows 7,) but every time I think about it I hear,”Craigslist Killer, Craigslist Killer…” :o

love this list… whenever one of us complains about something like, “i left one of my bags at target and it had my gum, lip gloss and tassimo lattes in it!!” my sister or cousin or i will respond with this in a dramatic valley girl voice: “dear diary, what a hassle! ugghhhhh!”

Probably the reason why I have a bunch of new crap around my house that I don’t use -> too lazy to return it until after the 90 day return policy.
Not a fan of Craigslist or Ebay, just don’t trust ‘em! Can’t sway me! You can’t! You can’t!
BTW, I was just whining this morning about how there’s not enough Starbucks in the world, especially in my neighborhood, around where I work, next to my grocery store, anywhere I am, actually. Sigh, can’t get a decent, expensive cup of coffee to save my life! Damn 10 Dunkin Donuts around my house!

Yeah, that’s my real issue. I don’t like trying on clothes, and I don’t like returning things. Oops.

Ok, first… Bahahahaha! We’re so WEAK.
Second, WHAT THE WHAT is up with those cute multi-chain necklaces twisting into a mass of knotted loops? By themselves? In a locked suitcase? (I lied about the lock, I lost the key to that thing years ago.)
It happened to me on an out-of-town weekend with the hubs. So basically, yesterday. You might have thought I’d lost an eyeball, the way it affected my morale. I might be a little ashamed.
Third, I sold all of my husband’s bachelor pad furniture on craigslist. The buyers were great – hubs is the only one that almost murdered me because I didn’t charge enough for his ugly old junk. Apparently, he paid quadruple what I made off of the sales and I have no business sense, or something.
I’m still bitter. I totally thought I was doing him (us) a favor!

Bahahaha! So true! Or how about when we complain that our smartphones aren’t working or when the Internet is slow. Like, dude, it’s going TO SPACE! Give it a minute! But man, whole milk is amazeballs. I’m jealous that my daughter gets to drink everyday. It’s like ice cream in a glass!

I just found NGN about a week ago, and I’m almost thru the archives. Ummm… the biggest bummer is that you have to be all responsible and have a life and can’t entertain us daily. You are fantastic and I want us to be BFF’s now. I’d draw a stick figure representation of our friendship but I sold my scanner on Craigslist. :)

It’s such a bummer. We’re totally BFFs. You can substitute emoticons for stick figures?

Hm? Are you my new bud on NGN FB?

I have three pairs of wedgie-inducing panties from Victoria’s Secret that I got for my birthday in March that I’ve been meaning to take back to the Victoria’s Secret that’s located in the mall that I’ve been to many times since my birthday in March, and yet they still sit on top of my dresser.
So, your first one? I can slightly relate to that.

Send them to me. I’ll try them on, send them to another blogger, and so on. I heard this practice is a proponent of good health?

hilarious =) although have sold many things on craigslist and in the past two weeks….made over $500 (split with my dad) – just had to post the items for him and he gave me half the profit! and whenever I’ve listed something of my own, I am extremely cautious and I don’t have anyone come to the house unless my husband is home =) cuz I’m a big scaredy cat too….lol

I am gonna blow your mind….. Straws, thread those necklace chains right on through before you pack, don’t forget to clasp them! You should have plenty with all the empty sbucks cups…Iced Mocha Frap, why yes I will take whip and a little chocolate-ty drizzle, fo’ shizzle!!
