Luck or just my life

So, for those who know me know I have a favorite saying..... if it wasn't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all. It seems to bring disappointment when I least expect it and stick around for good measure. Today was no exception.

A friend of mine stopped in a scrap booking store that was going out of business on her way to Chicago, and told me about the great deals she had got. I looked and WOW they did have a great deal! 70% everything in the store. So, of course I placed an order. A large order. A little later that same day the owner called to tell me some of the things I wanted were sold out and my total would be different and they were shipping the box to me that day. I said great, no problem.

Then I waited. And waited. And waited. It's very had to wait. I'm not patient by any stretch of the imagination. 18 days later I finally got my box. I was so excited. I thought for sure it was lost in the mail. (it was shipped from Dyer, IN to Indianapolis, IN) I tear into the box only to discover it wasn't mine. It was full of Hanna Montana stamps and ugly paper. Really!!!!! Come on. I waited 18 days for this? And paid way too much for stuff I can't use.

To be honest. I was next to tears. I call up my friend Jenny who recommend these people and we both try to get hold of the store owners. The website is down. The phone goes strait to voicemail. Facebook account isn't updated. Email comes back as bad address. Really I say. Ugh! Finally, I think, white pages. I get lucky. I find the home phone number.

I speak with them and they say it's a switch a roo with the labels and it should be fixed by having us mail the boxes to each other. I really hope it works. My money back is all good and dandy but I really wanted what I bought. 

So, here's to waiting another two weeks to see if I get my stuff. Wish me luck because I could use all I can get.

Has anything like this happened to you? What would you have done? Let me know your thoughts.

Happy thoughts and lucky wishes,


Michele
