Crap. I hit buy it. I hate that button/slide thingy. I gotta stop. It was wooden spoons this time. Previously: 1. Panties. I’ve ordered a butt-load of underwear. 2. Socks. Why are they so cute AND on sale!!? 3.Pajamas…hey I live in them. I needs 'em. 3. Cat toys. My cats hate toys. 4. Matching dog collars for 4 dogs. 2 are not mine:smack: 5. Christmas gift bags. Dirt cheap. Had to. 6. A huge poster of North America. Don’t ask. 7. Activity books for the boys. I was looking for mad-libs. But I deferred to learning type books. They were not amused. 8. Pink Himalayan salt. Even I know that was dumb. 9. Black charcoal face wipes. A waste of money. Nobody likes how they smell. I gave them to Big Wrek to take to the barn. I gotta stop. Someone stop me. Take my card. Cancel Amazon prime. No wait…there’s some books I want first. (;)) ---

Right now, returning stuff is not a great idea. When I go on a buying spree, I quite forget all the little goodies I bought. So each envelope and box is like a Christmas surprise! The other day, I got and envelope from WallyWorld. Strange, I hadn’t bought anything from WallyWorld in quite some time. I opened the envelope to find foil cupcake liners. Maybe I “sleep ordered.” ~VOW ---

Well, I got an alert…☹ My polar bear socks will not be coming. But, as a helpful thing Amazon put a ‘keep shopping’ tab to punch right in front of my face. They are just so helpful. I found penguin socks. Lucky me. Aaaaccckkkk! And a 1000 things I MIGHT just want. So, so helpful. :smack: ---

When are all these impulsive goodies due to arrive, **Beck**? Most of my Amazon stuff is taking weeks to arrive now, and I’m a Prime member. Amazon says it’s prioritizing necessities, and that’s one reason the other stuff is slower to arrive. OK, but one item I ordered is this exfoliating powder I mix with cleanser and use on my face. It arrived in two days. Maybe Amazon thinks my exfoliated face is necessary for the general morale. 😕 ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > 1. Cat toys. My cats hate toys. On the plus side [cats love boxes.](http://www.thepurringtonpost.com/catsandcardboardboxes/) The boxes can even be good for their health. Some also get into any internal packaging as makeshift toys, too. Just dump the actual cats toys. ---

**nellie** , I try not to look at the tracking. I’d rather be surprised. That and I sometimes don’t want to remember. I like to open my pkgs. in private. The lil’wrekker asked me today what was all that crap I ordered. I lied and said medical supplies. I know, I know. I’m a poor liar. I’ll get found out. My shame is my cross to bear. ☹ I just pulled the trigger on origami paper. 500 sheets, chirogyamy. Multi-prints. Gah??!! :smack: ---

You are so lucky that they are actually shipping what you order. I put in an Amazon order for a handful of miscellaneous kitchen gadgets two weeks ago (I’m not prime - yes, I know that makes me a pariah in civilized society (how can I show my face!)) and they posted a delivery date of April 30. Tha’fu? So, that is keeping me from indulging in random online shopping. ---

Oh, I’m surprised I’m getting anything. At. All. UPS hates me. They just throw packages toward the house and zoom off. I cut into their delivery schedule, were far far off the main drag. The crap I order is not in high demand so Amazon has no problem fulfilling my orders. DIL says anything coming from China may take longer. We’ll see how long my origami paper takes. It’s straight from China. ---
