Shipping Madness

So I finally gave in last night and transferred a little bit of money from savings to checking to cover a few gifts that I felt if I didn't purchase they might sell out since I had some difficulty finding them at all. I am going to wait on one specific purchase for Austin (not going to write what that is because he reads this occasionally!) until Wednesday when I have more money because I can either pick it up at the store and put in the suitcase or ship it next week. But these others I have ordered at least. So the stuff I ordered awhile back that is parent gifts and such finally shipped yesterday and despite the fact that it says it won't arrive until the 21st or 22nd, I think their website is wrong because I tracked it on UPS and it's well on its way and claims to be 2nd Day Air which would make more sense for it to be the 14th or 15th but what do I know. And then I ordered from two different places last night. The one place I ordered two things and for some strange reason even though they both said in stock, one shipped today and the other is still "processing." And I haven't heard anything yet from the other place which of course I somehow pushed the wrong button and mistyped the last digit of the zip code and had to e-mail and whatnot last night to see if I could get a response to fix it. That's supposed to go FedEx 2 day when it goes though so Vero isn't that big at least and should be easy to figure out and that has time because it will probably be shipped on Monday or Tuesday. So that's my Christmas shopping progress.

In other news, we still have NOT found out what our bonus will be this year or our raise for the new year. Last year we knew ahead of time but apparently this year they are going to make us wait until they actually hand us the checks on Wednesday. I swear we are going to get nothing and I'm going to cry! ;) Tomorrow night is our Christmas party which should provide for some good stories if nothing else as well as going to Austin's Christmas party during the day. So I guess we are going to have a celebratory day. Too bad it's celebrating with a bunch of people I don't know or don't really want to be around! Oh well, what can you do?! ;)

Hope you all have a good weekend and let's hope the shipping people can get their acts together so my gifts make it to Florida in time for Christmas!
