After packing up my apartment I thought to myself, instead of giving my articles of clothing to good will — I should have sold them on ebay! I never got involved with ebay before and I decided to just randomly sign up a few days ago, and search for a few of my favorite things like the Lululemon brand. I’m a huge fan of this store and I’ve got headbands, pants, sweaters and even hair elastics from the store. But what I found on ebay was something incredibly odd and I will explain why in a moment.

When I went to purchase my hair ties from the Lululemon store in Toronto, they came in a 6 pack for maybe $10? I’m not sure because I bought them forever ago — but on ebay this one girl is selling her ONE hair tie and it’s up to four bucks already. Like holy cow, are you serious? People are willing to buy these hair ties for four bucks a pop? They don’t even fit in everyone’s hair properly, because I gave one to my soccer team mate during the winter and her hair is thicker than mine and it busted on her.

Maybe I should start selling some things that I don’t use/want. I wonder if people would actually buy them?

Another trip to the dentist, another filling replaced. I’m starting to like this white toothy smile! After I had a couple of teeth pulled on the top pre-braces, my teeth have shifted and now all you can used too  see, was silver fillings on my molars. Now they’re all white! Hooray for new inventions with fillings. I was told once by my family dentist back home that silver ones actually last longer. Well, it didn’t seem that way for me — and I actually had to have one of my silver ones replaced since it was “leaking”. Scary!

I’m moving out this weekend. A lot sooner than I had hoped. Primarily because it’s a one-man moving show out here. The boyfriend (mainly) and I.  He wants to help me move a while before the trip to B.C just so he doesn’t re-injure his shoulder so close to our big Ironman Canada trip to BC. I have everything mostly packed up, I just need to buy another rubbermaid container and I’m set. I gotta tell ya. Moving 7 times in 3 years definitely makes you purge a lot of your belongings each time you move to a new place. There’s just too much stuff. I remember when I first moved up here, I had 3 suit cases with all of my belongings and that was it. When I went home for Christmas, I brought back more stuff to Ontario. After a few moves, I’ve thrown stuff out / recycled it / gave it to good will. I’m almost back down to my 3 suit cases where I started off three years ago. It’s a good feeling. I actually have one suitcase that is filled with stuff that I haven’t used since I was in my apartment when I moved in, in January. 8 months! I say, if you don’t use it within 6-12 months, chuck it. But certain things have sentimental value that I really can’t come to part with, and some of it’s useful — like thank you cards from etsy, and pens!! I love pens. And stationary. And paper clips.

Pardon the random brain thoughts today.

Also. What’s with cranking the A/C so I have goosebumps? That’s one of the most annoying things in the world to me. You want to be cooled off, but not feel as if you’re actually stepping into a deep freeze. Wtf. I am COLD.

I have often received legitimate e-mails from people who have entered other people’s e-mail address in wrong, and it got sent to me instead of the directed person.

I used to reply to these e-mails just saying a quick “Sorry, wrong e-mail!” to them. But I’ve received two in the last week from the same person.  I don’t know if I should reply or just leave it alone. Obviously “Natalie something or other” is getting the content through her friend because they’re doing some orientation at a school in Rhode Island and the other person replying kept mentioning she was talking to this “Natalie” person.

Should I just do what Canada Post does (write on the envelopes RETURN TO SENDER) in bright red ink? I mean I guess it’s the same as dialing the wrong number, especially receiving one on my cell phone. I remember the first time that happened and I was like OMG HOW!?? But then I remembered that cell phones are proably more popular than the land lines and it’s much more easier to fool up on a number while dialing.

Have you ever received an e-mail that was supposed to go to someone else? What would you do in this situation?I’m probably just going to reply, once again and say that they have the wrong e-mail address. I wonder how many other people actually reply to these wrong e-mails? I certainly know that my boyfriend never does as he used to receive them on a much more frequent basis than I ever have.
