Happy Thursday Everyone! a beautiful sunny summer day here today. Looks like we're going to get a few more days of hot weather. No rain in the forecast for the next week. Some parts of the US are basically flooded and people are being evacuated. My area is dry and we're basically headed into a drought. It's crazy
Today Im going to spend the day with my oldest daughter. We're going to make a quick trip to Hobby Lobby and I'm happy because they have their yarn on sale (30% off). That's a good savings and I can't resist buying more yarn.
I think I mentioned in another post awhile ago that I found some nice yarn on sale at Mary Maxim (online) and put in an order. It came the other day and I didn't get around to opening it until yesterday.
Nothing in the box was mine!! It was filled with all sorts of other crafting things and the packing slip was for someone in Viginia. I'm sure she's going to be upset when she either doesn't get her package or she gets the wrong stuff too.
Later this afternoon I'll have to call them and see what they will do about my missing items and what to do about this package I have for this other person. If they send me the correct mailing label I'd be more than happy to send it to her myself. But I'm not going to take it upon myself to just ship it off to her or pay for shipping.
Meanwhile, my daughter and I are going to enjoy lunch while we're out.
Looks like a fun and busy day for me today.
What's happening with you today?

Typhoon was finally gone this morning. We had very strong wind and heavy rain last night. It's fortunate that the typhoon changed its direction slightly and it didn't hit HK directly. Enjoy your lunch.

Glad the typhoon changed direction. Sometimes the wind scares me more than the rain

@Marilynda1225 Yes, the roaring sound of the wind is scary.

About a week ago or so someone else got my package so I called FedEx about it and within 2 hours after that they got it to me but the items in it had been tampered with so I was able to tell the shipper about it and they refunded my money. I guess every now and then a driver just isn't up to the task of delivering packages to the correct address.

I sometimes wonder what kind of drivers FedEx and UPS is hiring these days, neither is altogether that reliable.

You got your package but a hassle to find it had been tampered with. Glad you got your money back.
My package had the right address but the wrong stuff

It was a nice day out with my daughter. We haven't done that in awhile
My package is being replaced and dealing with customer service wasn't hard at all.
Hope your husband gets to come home today

I am on my lunch right now, but just at home, nothing exciting like eating you-I hope that you enjoy yours out.
That is too bad that you received someone else's order, hopefully you will get instructions on how to return it to them so that they can make right of their error.
The day is flying by at work today, nice and fast.
After my 30 minute lunch, I have 45 minutes to work on a course. But I already did the course, so I will use that time to watch a bit of my soap opera and dust and maybe vacuum if there is time. The remainder of the afternoon will fly by as I have a meeting to go to which is always something to look forward to.

@Marilynda1225 That's too bad, I would think that they would act quicker on having an honest customer report this to them, and get the return process started so that the other party will be satisfied.

Hope your Thursday turned out good.
My day was wonderful and I really enjoyed the time with my oldest daughter. We haven't been out together in a long time and it was so nice.
As for my wrong package, they have to check with the other lady and see what she got or if she didn't get anything yet.

We had to leave early this morning to go to Springfield to get my monthly shot. The sit in their waiting room for two hours to make sure I didn't have an allergic reaction to the shot. This is the last time we have to sit and wait so long after the shot.
From now on, I go in, get the shot and I'm done. (I spent the two hours today people watching and sleeping. There were some really cute kids that I tried to talk Pretty into kidnapping for me... but she's mean and told me I'm not allowed to kidnap other people's kids. Where does she think I got her from? )
I hope you enjoy your day today.

@Marilynda1225 I was talking with a couple of the mothers with cute kids. One little girl kept turning around in her seat to wave at me. Of course, I waved back every time she did. Her mom thought it was funny.
I KNOW! I don't know why Pretty is such a stick-in-the-mud like that. She keeps telling me to pick kids that are already potty trained because she isn't going to change poopy diapers.
I think getting out of the house is the real reason Pretty insists on going grocery shopping every two weeks. We have enough food to last for several months already.

Thankfully you won't have to sit for those 2 hours next time you go for your shot. I love to people watch too
Pretty is no fun when it comes to kidnapping
My day was great and it was nice to get out of the house and see something other than my four walls

@Marilynda1225 I have had it happen. Just last year. I ordered an art easel for Monster. I knew it was way off when I seen the box that was delivered. I had what is called battle ropes. They are an exercise thing. As it was not returnable Amazon told me to keep it and refunded my money. Thankfully I still had time to order the easel again.

Customer service was very helpful. They're sending me a replacement order and said to wait to hear from them about what to do with the wrong order. I"m sure the other lady is looking for her stuff too

Well, first of all, I hope you get it sorted out with Mary Maxim regarding the switcheroo and that they give you a mailing label in order to send it back (or send it to the other recipient). You should in no way be spending more money to fix this snafu, and I feel positive Mary Maxim will do the right thing given that they're a legit company. Still, it's a big disappointment when you're waiting for something, you receive the package, but the wrong stuff is inside. Regarding Hobby Lobby, when my husband hears me say, "I'm going to Hobby Lobby," I know he's thinking, "Oh, no..." LOL!
