Monday Moans
Let's put them out there ladies.
Mine is silly... I just have to say I get irritated with google chrome because if I'm trying to surprise DH with a gift all that pops up in the ads is what I just googled. Way to give it away.
Re: Monday Moans
I don't use chrome- but could you sign in with a dummy/not often used account??
Let's see... I've got nothing this week. Lots of work... (but that's better than no work). I wish I didn't buy things and then later decide to return them. And I wish our crazy expensive Ralph Lauren towels that we registered for and have now been using for about 2 months didn't look like we've had them for 10 years already. Serious amounts of snags & pulls. The amount of lint that comes off of them is simply amazing (I have to dust the bathroom every other day). And they are fading already. I am going to go to Macy's tonight to see if there is anything I can do.
Oh- one more about Macy's shipping. We receieved each place setting in a giant box. GIANT. Think 2ft x 2ft box. They gave us small boxes for the place settings (ie gave my sister boxes). Well, our china had two different patterns associated with it, and I thought I recieved about half of the 7 degree and half of the 4 degree versions (tin can alley by lenox) based on the boxes. Instead of getting six of each, I have THREE of the four degree, and NINE of the seven degree (even though the registry said I got all 7 degree). I didn't notice before b/c DH unpacked all of it and put it in our cabinet. In addition, the bowls are not uniform. Ugh. And the registry person at the Macy's near us is not nice.

I'm super frustrated about these invitations I'm making. Just the printing part. Both of my brides paid for me to print addresses on the RSVP envelope - no biggie. i did a tester before i said yes and it worked just fine. Now, as I'm doing some bulk printing this weekend, I got about 5 good ones and then the rest of them started looking crappy. Half of the address looks fine, the other half looks smeared/double printed for some reason. I even ran the "clean printer heads" thing and they're still coming out weird. So, now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Staples and Kinkos can't print them....I found another local printer who can but she said it'd be like $85!! Yikes!
Any suggestions?!?
My moan is that I got woken up by maintenence who is doing a lot of work on the apartment next door to mine. The jerks who used to live there (and they really were not very pleasent...or polite) had a bunch of animals so I think they are ripping up the carpeting to replace it because I know the apartment really smelled. They also apparently left a bunch of holes in the wall that maintenence has had to fix and who knows what else. So now because of their disgusting way of living, I get to deal with the loud sounds of maintenence's radio and things thumping and banging around in there all day....for the past week and until who knows when
Lauren...have you tried replacing your ink cartridge? If you're getting smudges, it could just mean the cartridge is letting out too much ink, which is why it won't dry quick enough and smudges. Replacing it might help.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
my read shelf:
Mine is childish, but I don't think people need to publicly complain about incredibly personal crap on facebook. It's AW-ish and passive-aggressive. You do that, I hide your posts.
Also, It needs to be the end of the semester. I have an incompetent professor who blames all of her communication errors on her students (we are all doctoral and master's candidates, btw, I think we know how to read an email).
((hugs)) to everyone else on their Monday Moans.
