in which i spend my (cold, windy, icky) day off online shopping.

not to tempt any of my friends who should perhaps NOT be shopping, but i found a ton more herb seeds i wanted at a seller on Bonanza.com.

the site appears to cater to people looking to buy and sell older things (antiques and used items) as well newer ones. i have never visited this shopping site before, but i have to say that i liked the layout ("booths"), the interactive messaging system, and even the cart html; all very user-friendly, and functioned well on my limited internet connectivity.
