They don't want dh's money either

Geez, my dh is just pathetic when it comes to something as simple as putting in your credit/debit card # to make an online order! He just tried to order something online with his new Visa gift card. And it won't work. He's tried like 3 times now. I got back online and the card is showing active.  So, then I made a small online purchase with the card # from Target. Worked fine. I don't know what his problem is or what he is doing wrong. So, now he's crabby and stressed because he can't figure it out. Is it really that complicated to enter the info online?? And of course, since he doesn't want me to see what it is, I can't stand there at his computer and help him figure it out. Him and basic stuff like this is ridiculous. It's like someone from 1800's just time traveled to this time and doesn't know/understand anything, LOL.

I told him I'm sure dd could help him order it, but he's being crabby and apparently when she visited here a few weeks ago he mentioned to her he needed her help with figuring out how to order me some gifts without me knowing/seeing the charges. Well, apparently he thinks she was supposed to follow up with him on it, rather than her waiting for him to let her know when he needed help. Typical way he acts. And then most likely, once he calms down, he'll end up getting a hold of her and of course she'll do it, no problem.

It sounds like he gave up trying to order something from that website and was able to use it on a couple other websites (Walmart one of them) with no problem. Then he was trying another order from another website and when entering the expiration date of the card, they give a drop down box of years to choose from, but only until 2029 and this card's expiration date is 2030. He's frustrated! At this point I don't blame him. He's a guy.....he just wants to get his Christmas shopping done and be done, haha!

I'm still trying to figure out that Xfinity bill my mom got from her old apartment. The manager hasn't returned my call. Every time I call I ask if she's available and they say yes, but they can't transfer a call to her, so she'll have to call me. Finally today, I said, ok, but I left a message yesterday morning and she didn't call me back. The "bill" before this one with the equip charge has actually been a credit balance of one months charge. I assumed her apartment place must have paid an extra month in error after she moved out...it wasn't my mom's credit to have....but if she calls me back and says we were supposed to take the equipment back to xfinity, then I'm just going to pay the $82 balance (with their credit!) instead of the $120 balance.  Even her wifi "name" when she lived there was the apartment name and her apt#, so I assumed it all belonged to the apartment. If she'd just call me back I can resolve it one way or another. Geez.

I joined a Facebook page about farmhouse decorating a week or so ago. I've come to realize, while I like some of the style, here and there, in my home, I am not a big of fan of it as I thought I was LOL. It's too "much" and too "cluttery" for my tastes. I don't want a wall full of pictures, greenery, signs, etc. haha. I don't want a table display area or shelf completely full of various stuff, LOL.

DD and I were getting a little laugh, though, over a couple of pictures I copied and messaged her from the page. This one room had a full mirrored wall on one end and 4 couches in the room and 2 coffee tables. Just weird to me, haha. DD was like - I don't even want that many people sitting in my house LOL. Then another was this more rustic/lodge type of room (more my style) but it had 3 big screen tv's on the walls the room! I don't get it! LOL. I told dd maybe these 2 people needed to live together, haha.

Well, as I figured, DH settled down and called dd to help with the purchases he was trying to make with the gift card. 

I'm disappointed with the Christmas pillow covers I ordered from Amazon. They say they are 18 inches square but they are only 17 inches. That inch makes a difference in trying to get my sofa pillows inside  them. I ripped the zipper seam trying to get one in. 

My new coffee table arrived last night, very late delivery. Poor guy, dealing with the snow slowed him down. I LOVE the table. It's very thick slab of wood, sturdy and heavy, and since each piece is unique  you don't know quite what it will look like. Eventually this sitting loft area will be furnished complete, haha.

Then last night someone posted a framed picture for sale that I like for $30. The post said she was from the city, so I messaged I was interested but wasn't making a trip there until the day before Thanksgiving if she could hold it or ship it. Then it turns out she's actually in the next town from us, only about a 10-15 minute drive, so we are going to pick it up later this morning. We got another few inches of snow last night, so dh said he will drive me to her house.

Well, I need to put my boots, coat and hat on and go take something to the mailbox and then get in the shower and get ready to go out later, to pick up that picture.
