2006-06-23 - 12:04 p.m. If you haven't read my Alberta trip report yet, it starts here with Part 1, continues here with Part 2, and the exciting conclusion (with bears) is right here. I found a $500 Macy's gift card squirreled away, probably one that I was hoping to use during Northwest's summer Fly Free Faster program, but Northwest is not having the program this year and their miles aren't worth a damn anyway any more, so I decided to go ahead and spend it. Supposedly they were having a sale (well, their idea of a sale) on a Canon pocket camera, so I ordered that and then rounded out the order with some other random goodies. Hmmm. Margarita scented body wash, philosophy magical hand cream, shimmery body shaper, famously overpriced face make-up. The postman just leaned on the doorbell, and here came my packages. Everything but one of the philosophy creams that they already told me they ran out of -- and the camera. Oh, please, please, please, don't let my little camera be out of stock. I actually received the bodyshaper on Tuesday in a separate package. They must have teleported it over or something. I tried it on, and it fit perfectly. Then when I logged onto the internet, what did I read but an article on msn.com about how much it hurts to be beautiful -- with a focus on some lady whose bodyshaper created purple bruises on her body. They even referred to it, several times, as a corset. I can only conclude that I didn't buy my shaper in the right size. It certainly can't cause enough compression to create bruises. I just thought it was something to make a smooth line beneath some glamorous gown. Sigh. On the same day I received 30 free prints from Travelocity as a "thank you" for renting our car in Alberta through them. Actually, the prints are not really free. They charge you $2.50 for shipping, and it's really about 45 cents for shipping. I've shipped 4x6 photographs too, guys. But the pictures were cute as the dickens. The only hiccup is that, somehow, I ended up with two photographs of the Canadian Tiger and no photograph of the Clark's Nutcracker. A man is supposed to come by today and buy all of my remaining bloodstones. We shall see.
