Did I kill a nun in a past life?

Or is it just the universe trying to curb my psychotically anal streak? I swear, if I try to buy something online for any major even, it's destined to get fucked over.

At Christmas, it was Dennis' present, which arrived around 3:00 pm, on the same day as the Yule party. We had to leave at 4:00.

Valentine's day, it was the matching wedding bands I'd ordered. Somewhere between NYC and Baltimore, they disappeared from UPS' radar. This necessitated a quick trip to the mall to buy cute, but not quite the same bands.

Now, it's coming up on my beloved's birthday, and I ordered a special item for her. Not quite one of a kind, but cool, none the less. It was shipped on the 10th, so plenty of time to get here.

Still hasn't arrived. I looked at my confirmation e-mail again today, and suddenly realized that they'd dicked up my address. I checked my paypal account, so that had the right one. Grrr.

So, no pressie for my baby. Guess who's going shopping tonight?
