rayvyn2kSo, only three days left until I am in Florida and seeing my family! *squeeee*
Okay, so the dress saga update. I had requested express shipping on my second order, so I knew it would be delivered yesterday. Before I went to work, I wrote a note on a piece of yellow paper which said:
Hey UPS driver,
If we are not home, please do not leave the package at the office. We would prefer to pick it up at the warehouse. Thanks!
So, hubby and I get home and there's no UPS tag on the door at all. Puzzled, as I had paid over 30.00 for shipping, I pulled up my email and there was a confirmation from Roaman's that the package had indeed shipped on Wednesday along with a UPS tracking number. I c/p it onto the UPS site and what do I find?
Not only was the package delivered, it was delivered to the office.
And...no notice on the door. If Roaman's hadn't sent the shipping confirmation, I would not have known the package had been delivered because again the driver didn't leave a call tag on my door.
Fucker.
I emailed a complaint to UPS and told them about this and also about the previous incident, too. They were supposed to call me back, but I doubt if I'll hear anything from them.
Anyway. I called the office today and begged them to have our sweet maintenance guy put the package into our apartment. When we got home, there it was (thank you Marty!) So, I take the dress out and put it on and--OMG it fits! And it seems to fit properly, too. It's not extra big or baggy in the arms (like many dresses I buy which fit my hips) and hubby said it looks good on me...I'm not sure if it's not too clingy on my tummy, so I'm going to take it to work I think on Monday and try it on there in the bathroom so I can have a look.
The shoes fit, too. I do have to get a pedicure, since my toenails have grown some and are a bit uncomfortable in the shoes. But a ped will fix that. :) So, I'm going to package up the other dress and shoes and send them back on Monday. Go me!
Had a long chat with my sister tonight and basically made sure she's going to be home when we arrive...she's off for the rest of the week! Yay!! I can't wait to see everyone.
On a completely different subject, hubby and I are heading to the RenFest tomorrow...dressed in our finery. If it's cool enough, I'm going to wear my green gown--if not, blue it is! I was thinking about getting my hair fixed, but I have to color it this weekend, so I can't. :( Oh, and we're definately looking for Mother's Day gifts there.
I guess that's the latest. I'll post some pics from the RenFest when I can!
