I am a champion wibbler

[valis2]

So I finally talked myself out of carting giant heavy desktop computer, scanner, monitor, printer, two rolling carts and countless other things like boxes and bubble wrap to WI with me when I leave next week. After all, I will only have time enough for two auctions, and that just doesn't seem worthwhile. I mean, I might be able to squeeze three auctions in, but still. I'd have to take the broadband card with me so Husband would have no access to the internet, which is bad because he needs it for class.

Anyway, I've just come to grips with it all, and said my peace, even though I'm a little sad because a) I am rather fond of commerce, b) I will have time in the mornings to work on this, so now what will I do for two and a half weeks? I guess I'll write, and c) I hate being absent from eBay/Etsy for too long because people forget you so easily, and this is usually a good time of year because everybody who is experiencing snowtopia wants craft supplies. But compared to the awful endless lugging, I was thinking that I shouldn't bother. But now I have a sudden teeny spike in sales and I'm all sadface because of a and I don't want to miss out on it because it's kind of a rush and wah. Wibbling again. Just a little.

Headache of doom. I need new glasses so badly. I spent all of today just staring at page after page of Excel spreadsheet formulas and how-to in order to solve a rather thorny little problem. I think I have it, too. It was nearly working when I left, except the bastard would make Excel crash whenever I tried to evaluate the formula. oh well. It is a thing of beauty, if you like that sort of thing.

Stopped at Bath & Body Works. I've used their bubble bath every day for at least...oh...fifteen years, I think. I love it. And it looks like they're discontinuing most of the scents. Woe! Woe! And their super clearance sale was not very cleary. It wasn't as good as their last two. Woe!

Asked an employee for help at Best Buy, and he said he'd go check for it in the Nebulous Back Room, but he ended up completely forgetting about me. I don't blame him, as a woman with an outrageous accent interrupted him as he was walking back to the Fabled Back Room and that probably completely short-circuited his short-term memory.

I think I'm going to bed early tonight. I know, I say that every night, but ow. Head.

My old accounting boss used to give a 'back in my day' speech about how in the dark ages he had to do spreadsheets with pencil and paper. I can see how the novelty would wear off that pretty quickly. I love working out the formula needed to do something in a spreadsheet. Give me a good, knotty problem and I'll be a happy bunny all day.

I was going to C&P the formula because I knew there would be one or two Excellians out there (you and lady_branwyn, at the least) who would be interested. I'll try to remember tomorrow, once I've gotten it all worked out. *nodnod*

And yeah, give me something like that, and I'm good for hours.

Aw, thanks! It's partially gone, thanks to Advil. :)

I went in looking for Bubble Bath during their sale and was really disappointed too! What up, B&BW?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Dude, it was so lame! And I can't believe that they are cutting so far back on the bubble bath. I was a little worried that they were phasing it out, but wow, this is ridiculous. I was only able to buy two scents. :(

And usually they have containers FULL of 75% off stuff, but the only things they had were some shaving foam and room spray and I was so disappointed!

Oh dear! Go to sleep and forget about wibbling for a while. You will be fine *hugs*

[hardboiledbaby]

Yeah, it doesn't sound like you're *quite* done wibbling yet. It really does sound like an awful lot of stuff to pack and move and unpack and re-pack and move and unpack again. But only you can decide how much wibbling is enough, so, I'll just say... Kewl icon! :-)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I feel less wibbly this morning. ha!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! I am so good at wibbling. lol.

My other worry is that because I get paid only at the very end of the month-long trip, we'll have to somehow survive without funds coming in for a month, except for Husband's paycheck. So that's why the eBay/Etsy would be helpful--I could be depositing money while there.

Oh well. And thanks for the icon compliment! I love that I have a logo. Even though I'm generally not red and scary like that. Except in the morning.

I thought that was an odd icon for you. But I like it. (This one is totally inappropriate, but I just made it last night and wanted to use it.:)

Are you any nearer getting a laptop? And are there B&BW stores in WI that you might hit while you're there?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Wow, I guess I haven't used that icon in a while, because I thought everyone had seen it. Here's another one.

Amusingly enough, these videogames are where I originally got the name, lol.

And I just can't make myself take the last step in buying a laptop. I've even looked at them on the HP website. But I just can't seem to do it. I don't know why.

*HUGS* I hope you can get new glasses soon!

Bummer about the B&BW scents. I used to shop there, long-ago, but it's been ages. Mostly either have stuff mom decided she had too much of, or yummy natural bar soaps that a friend makes. :P

& wow, bath every day? That's pretty awesome. I don't even know the last time I had one. *shrug* Ah well. ;p

Also, regarding laptops, I'd advise against HP: they're in the top three brands to fail. I like my Acer mini lappy [9" screen, couple hundred dollah] for traveling, even though the keyboard is a mite small, and the fan a bit high-pitched; and I got a new sony vaio for xmas from mommy, which I'm generally loving, and is cheaper than I think they used to be [over 500, rather than over 1000]...

I am definitely going to the optometrist ASAP. omg, my eyes are killing me!

And I love baths. I'm a decadent girl, I guess! hee!

Really? The HP is trouble? wah. I've heard good things about Asus, and I've been thinking about it...

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

The HP *can* be awesome, but it can also crap out on you. Sad to say. ;p
Heard good stuff about Asus.
GL with whatever you decide!
