imagine my delight, then dismay…

At the sight of this Bloom My Buddy vase that rolled onto my screen this morning. My daughter has been begging — BEGGING! — me for a chia head (her Chia of choice? Scooby Doo) but I just cannot bring myself to buy one. Maybe it’s the memory of the old SNL Chia Head skit. Maybe it’s just because they’re butt-ugly.

But this thing, it is teh awesome. Originally posted here on AT, I thought that it was made of some sort of porcelain or ceramic and was afraid it would be outrageously expensive (as so many of my design lusts are). But, after looking at the site, I see that they’re made out of plastic so I’m feeling hopeful. Until I come to the “shop” portion of the story. One Buddy of each size comes up to 1900.00. Ok, help me out here Buddy site, I need some sort of indication of what monetary unit we’re talking (”Yen! Yen! my brain is screaming). But alas, it is the Euro. Bringing my grand total to just under $3,000.00. For a fancy plastic vase. Ummmm, no thanks.

benched…

We’ve been oh-so-slooooowly renovating the exterior of the house. We’ve added one metric f-ton of mulch (and by we, I mean the hubby). Lots o’ plants. And, a couple of weeks ago, we finally installed the new storm door (that’s been sitting in the front hall for four months). And by “we,” I, again, mean someone else — mostly my dad.

So now that the major hardware in front is looking halfway presentable, it’s time to look at the rest. And, honestly, the front stoop (man, I love that word) just bores me to tears. We have a cool mailbox, and a really cool doorbell which, apparently, attracts toddler fingers with a force similar to that of the North Pole). The avocado green door will be painted, just as soon as we can figure out a color (so, eh, maybe October). On my wish list is slate tile to cover the ugly slick concrete and a bench. I didn’t even know I wanted a bench because, hey, we’ve got giant buckets of sidewalk chalk and various wiffle balls and plastic golf clubs for ornamentation. Then I saw this bench.

Now, I am not usually a big fan of benches — eh, a bench is a bench — but I’m lusting after this one. Alas, it’s $300. For a plastic bench. I’m thinking maybe the design is simple enough that I can manage this one as a DIY. And when I say “DIY,” I, of course, mean “Oh, Daaaaaaad!”

*lurve*

If I could purr, I would be doing so right now, loudly and unashamedly, directed straight towards the lovely people who work at Xerox printer support.

My big, honkin’ $1700 duplex color laser printer has been acting a little squirrely lately and then WHAM, all of a sudden the control screen started reading backwards and the printer wouldn’t work. After a few Googly searches, I find that it’s pretty standard for this model to have problems with the control panel. The cheapest one I find is $155 and it’s not new, but pulled out of an old printer. I’m annoyed because this printer is only a couple of years old and gets fairly light use. I find one ray of hope in a blog comment that says Xerox replaced their faulty panel for free, but I don’t get my hopes up. I’m still mentally scarred from my many run-ins with HP “support” over the years and I’m not used to these things going well. Then I receive an e-mail from Xerox support that says:

Sounds like you have a defective control panel. We can send you a replacement free of charge. I am placing an order for this now. You should receive this within 3 – 5 business days. If you need to contact us, please call …

Wait… what?! That’s how it works?! You ask a company for help with their product and they HELP you? In one day?! Without hours on the phone to the farthest reaches of the earth and countless head-banging moments?

Somebody pinch me.
