eBay revisited and July 4th weekend

It's Monday. I woke up this morning exhausted, I had planned to wake up and go running in preparation for the 5k run coming up, but I just couldn't find the motivation to. I don't know if it's lack of sleep or what, but i definitely need to start up exercising again. This weekend my calorie intake was well over my usual putting it simply. Between the excess carb meals and walks down the seaside heights boardwalk, there really wasn't a point where i wanted food, mainly cause i was always full! lol Except strangely enough, i had come back on saturday and weighed myself, came out to be near 150lbs... then today i'm back down to my original weight 143... i dunno what happened lol... maybe i exercise in my sleep and i don't know it. oh well! =]

So I'm listening to eurodance, one of my favorite past time genres of music/types of music that just is just awesome to listen to while doing anything. The energy and uplifting vocals are amazing... mainly cause it's the type of music that is supposedly played in nightclubs/dances in europe... not the US. As you know the US type nightclubs/party dances would usually contain the various popular rap/hip hop songs... mixed with an occasional electronic type song, depending on the DJ. I'm downloading a handful of eurodance albums/compilations... i hope i won't be let down!

I finished all my morning work for now... but one thing while going through my routine was reading/replying to a message that i find quite annoying/arrogant from a buyer who complained about shipping as mentioned in my last post i believe.

So this set of items i sold to Mrs. Florida (since it's a female buyer from florida) have in the description that they include the, and i quote,
"Includes retail box, manual/documentation, and software"
So they have received the items and send me a message stating... and i quote again...
these item swhere supposed to INCLUDE their RETAIL box - BUT these are NOT the correct boxes ??? the serial numbers on the cards do NOT match the serial numbers on the box - hence tehse are NOT the retail boxes for it - these are just generic non-conforing boxes !!!
First of all... GREAT use of CAPS and great sentence structure... i feel like i'm talking to a 12 year old kid on the computer when going back and forth through messages... but anyways... i responded that Mrs. Florida is correct that they do not include 'matching' serial numbers, BUT there is no mentioning that they are ORIGINAL boxes in my description. Not like it matters AT ALL since it still came with the documentation and software... I don't want to be seen as a bad sales person, but if they wanted the original boxes they could have asked if they were originals or they could have just bought it from someone else.... after all they got them for 99 CENTS...... ugh

Yesterday after church i was taken out to lunch by my parents along with a handful of young adults/mid-age people. Granted i would have rather gone out with the other college group kids, i do not have my own car that i drive to church... thus i'm stuck with my parents. Anyways, I guess you could say i was kinda glad that i went out with this particular group of people where my parents were the oldest people there, and I was the youngest person... within the mix were couples and singles that were just married, have been married for a couple years, or single. It was interesting to hear the various stories of my parents and the other people there. What i can definitely say is that i'm looking forward to the future... to marriage... to all that other jazz... though baby caring seemed like such a burden lol... but yeah i have more to say, but i'm sorta distracted at the moment... so i'll end it here..

Thanks for reading,
DY
