Happy (and sad) Tuesday!

Yes, it's 3:40am. Yes, I am up.

I set my alarm to try and catch the Missoni for Target bike. I got it! However, in the mad dash for check out I didn't even look to see what size it is and it's too big for me. Crying Seriously, how is this always my luck?!

I'm on the phone with CS now trying to see if I can cancel the bike so that I don't have to pay $90 shipping for something that I'm going to just return. They won't pick up their phone though.

Did anyone snag anything? 

I'm off to bed as soon as I can get this done and then back to Target in a few hours! This is going to be a long day. 

Happy Tuesday! 

Re: Happy (and sad) Tuesday!

  • good morning! did you stake out the store too? any luck with the bike cancellation? did they sell only one size or did you just buy the wrong size?

    p.s. you're crazy.

    i'm meeting up with some of my old coworkers/friends tonight and helping one of them setup her online dating profile. she's in her 60's, and isn't very computer savvy, but is ready to start getting out there again.  it'll be fun to get her out there :)

    have an awesome tuesday!

  • they only made one size for the bike. boo. i was able to cancel that portion of my order though.

    i might be sitting in the target parking lot right now. my friend is on her way. no one else is here. i totally feel like a crazy loser. haha. 

     i think i remember you talking about this coworker. this is so cute.  

  • UW - I hope you get everything worked out and don't have to pay the shipping and such.  That is a bummer. 

    My Tuesday is fine so far.  I woke up a little late, which means that Tman woke up late, but I am still on the nest, so I guess I don't care much. ha.  

    Anyway, my disagreement with my husband DID work itself out already with no heartbreak involved.  I know it probably sounds like I am being dramatic, but it really was a big deal.  My husband just thought about it and talked to some friends about it, and amazingly they gave him council that is in my favor.  

    I better go light a fire under my kid so he's not late for school...

    aww, that's too bad. is it obnoxiously too big/small? maybe you could "make it work"?

  • I'm tired. We didn't get home from the Mariners game until 11:45. I had all intentions of napping on the bus ride in this morning and the dam bus was full and I had to stand.

  • Oh goodness it's not even 10 and I am already looking forward to pulling out my big wine glass when I get home and filling it. Today is my Monday and it is definitely living up to it. I feel like I need some retail therapy to get through the rest of today lol

  • I need to get to work today and not sit on the nest all day.

     

    I have this whole week off, because I go back to school starting Monday. I was supposed to be working on this HUGE school project thingy over the summer, so I wouldn't have to do it during the school time because it is HUGE! Well I really need to start working on that today so I don't shoot myself when I am going to school....because my work load is already GIGANTIC! and I don't need this on top of it. Ick! but.....I just don't feel like it. I'd much rather nest....

     

    What do you do to get yourself motivated to get sh!t done when you are at home? Sometimes I turn on music or ....idk. I'm just not feeling it. WDYT? 

     

    ETA: I forgot to mention that I did actually get my name changed yesterday! I am officially no longer kinmir.....should technically now be benmir, lol.

  • After kind of a sh!tty situation at the store with the store manager I abandoned an entire cart of M for T and walked out empty handed. Basically, they told me they'd sell me the bike (I was going to try and make it work) and another employee sold it to someone else. The manager wouldn't do anything to rectify the situation, even though the employee said she did promise it to me first. 

    I've canceled my online orders from this morning because I'm so upset over the whole thing that I don't want any of the M and T stuff around my house. Angry

    I will say that the stuff is so cute IRL and it was a mad house this morning. I consider myself a pretty seasoned shopper, but this was madness like I haven't seen in a long time. Most of the shelves were cleared in about 10 minutes. The stores said they were going to restock them at some point, if anyone's interested in going later. 

  • I went into the Redmond target this morning around 9, it was basically picked clean. I did grab a really cute silk scarf, floppy hat, two shirts, and some outdoor dinner plates. 
  • Good morning! Today is going ok, DH still as to drive me to work which is kinda lame. Also, I have to stop taking my Wellbutrin and I'm a little worried about that. It helps me stay sane. I'm seeing my PD on Friday, I'm sure we are going to get something worked out.

    Slow morning, then shipment will come in and I'll be occupied. Smile

    Nope. I really didn't get anything. I even had the luggage, 3 pairs of shoes, a few skirts and dresses and some home stuff in my cart. 

    At least I feel better making a few people's day. I just hope they didn't turn around and resell it. 

  • omg, are you serious?? you had a TON of *** in your cart. i would have been pissed too.. it's kinda like the day after thanksgiving. i've never had a bad experience at target but i would have been super irritated. i probably would have bought the stuff anyway...

    I did! And the super irritating thing is that when the manager was like "nope, i'm not doing anything for you about the bike"

    I turned to my friend and quietly said "I don't think I even want this stuff any more"

    And he heard that, perked up and said "If you don't want it, I'll put it back out to sell." 

    I looked at him and was like "no, I'm offering it to my friend first" 

    Jackarse. 

  • I went this morning and got the scares and gloves I wanted. At 8:02, many items were gone. Crazy! I'm sure people were just buying to resell.
  • Wow, uwhusky, that does sound like a CRAZY day at Target.  I'm glad that store didn't get your business, since the manager sounds like a jackass.

    I have today off of work Party!!!, but I did have a dentist appt at 10:00.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I feel like an idiot for going so long in between appts and freaking out about the dentist for so long.

    I am so with you on this. My dentist has been sending me e-mail reminders that I need to go in. I just need to make the appointment. 

    I really need to go in to see about getting a mouth guard for nighttime. Pretty sure I grind my teeth. Sad

    if you grind your teeth, get a mouth guard asap. when i don't wear my mouth guard, i don't get a good nights sleep and i am even more exhausted throughout the day.
