Rigdonia, The Blog

I posted on 4/21 about the shoes and dress I ordered, right? Well, the shoes came today. I was so excited to see the package waiting when I got home from misc errands. SO I get the kids in the house and drop everything and open the box - ewe - I almost puke! Strong imagery, sorry! These shoes were a) THE ugliest plastic canvas and sequinned shoes I had ever seen and b) NOT the shoes I ordered. I am thinking, "I paid $35 dollars for plastic shoes, $7 to ship them here. Now I am going to have to pay $5 more dollars to get them back to Roaman's and then get charged to ship the right pair that I ordered in the first place!" Man, was I ticked! I called them all ready for an arguement. But . . . they were nice and are sending a special packing slip so I don't have to pay for the shipping again! And they aren't waiting for the shoes back, but will ship out the right shoes right away. Hmmm . . . . talk is cheap and my hormones are raging. We'll see.

On a much more positive note, I got the sweetest little baby afghan from my sister Shannon! It is sort of like a pastel rainbow with a white strip in between each color. Very pretty and big enough to last awhile! I am going through the blanket trauma (for me, that is) with my daughter - her blanket doesn't cover her up unless she is in a fetal position and it is falling apart to boot. (What color was it originally? Hmmmm . . . .)A good-sized blanket will come in handy with the new baby! And an heirloom to save, as well. Cool. Made the whole shoe thing easier to bear, LOL! Thanks Shan!
