Pictures Soon, Snow & Amazon

I will be taking pictures of what I am making in class eventually. I was going to wait until they were done but then again, it might be a Good Thing to see the stages… I am planning to work on my clay homework possibly on Friday and if not that day then Sunday. A lot depends on the weather.

We are having a heavy snow fall right now and I am SO glad that I have nowhere I need to go. I did have a 2 pm appointment for physical therapy today but got a call saying Candace was unable to get to work because of the snow! I was planning to walk up to PT rather than drive anyway and now I don’t have to go out at all.
A few days ago I ordered some DVD’s from an Amazon seller. Then I got an email from Amazon saying my credit card would be refunded because the seller I had ordered it from didn’t have it in stock. So, I went back to Amazon and reordered from them. It was about a five dollar difference and the shipping would be free because it was over $25. Then I checked how long it would be before it was sent and it was between 10 days and two weeks! Before it even left their warehouse!

 Now, I had been thinking of their Amazon Prime for a long time because I buy a lot from Amazon. This means one pays $79 a year and whatever is ordered, no matter the price, is shipped free in second-day shipping. And, to suck you in, you get the first month free! The other thing I liked about it was that I can add Fred to it–any person, up to four, as long as they have the same address.  I clicked their little button and signed up. I was told my DVDs would arrive today. So, this morning, I was woken by a phone call at 8 am. There was a robot voice saying my package would arrive today and would have to be signed for. It would, the robot said, be delivered between 8 am and 7 PM. So, I rushed out and put a notice on the door asking the UPS person to knock LOUDLY on the door.  I am often at the back of the house, and when Fred has his earphones on, he doesn’t hear someone at the door.

 I hope they come before 7 pm because I would love to watch DVDs on this snowy day. But, until they do, I will study my Italian vocabulary words.
