Christmas is coming

So it’s that time again. Time to start thinking about Christmas and all that entails. Hubby and I sometimes buy each other gifts and other times just buy something we both want. I don’t know what we are going to do this year yet.

I did just get myself a Christmas present though. About 2 weeks ago I saw an infomercial for the Yudu. Since then I’ve been going to the website and looking it over and debating on buying it and going back and forth about it. Finally today I decided to just go for it. It has a 30 day money back guarantee so I can always return it if I need to. But I’ve searched the Interwebs and most of the reviews I read about it are good. It clearly has some faults but nothing major. Also, a huge selling point, you can use other products on it not just those made by the manufacturer. That’s great because I found a forum for support and they list all kinds of inexpensive options for emulsion and paint, etc. I’m very excited.

So I placed the order and a few hours later get an email that my credit card didn’t go through. Ugh!!! Now I have to call them and see if I wrote the number wrong or something. I much prefer those sites that instantly verify your credit card. Plus now I have to call them, I just hope they are in the US and they don’t use call center outsourcing to some place like India or Bangladesh. I had to call HP one time and their call center was in India. It was the most frustrating call. The person the other end had a script and she was not going to stray from it no matter what. On the other hand, lots of places are using at home workers. I was considering doing that for a while but it didn’t work out with the time difference here in Hawaii.. Okay, why am I talking about this????
