ah, and so the slacker swap begins

Katurah, you really, really crack me up. So. I just love all the magnets you “sent” me. I hung the first batch on our chalkboard. Don’t they look lovely? The second set, Keely claimed and they are on our fridge. I just can’t stop looking at them. Really lovely. Thankyou.
For those of you who have no idea what you are looking at, this is in reference to the ultimate Slacker Swap, the imaginary edition.

It has arrived, or has it?

So, I finally ordered the play sink last week. You thought I’d never do it didn’t you? Ha! Well, I did. It arrived yesterday. This thing was heavy. I shoved it across the floor, did a little happy dance. Keely didn’t have a clue what it was. But she’s no dummy, she knows boxes at the door are a good thing. We decided to wait until after dinner to bust into it.

My poor girl has a nasty cold so we set up a sick bed in the shipping box. She snuggled right in, until she realized daddy was putting together something. She loves when we have to put things together. She perked right up and started dancing around all the pieces. Doing a little jig on the stove top, washing her hands under the faucet, and singing into the cardboard tubes. She knew what it was right away. And then the happiness and excitement ended.

We pulled out the sink tub and it was broken. Big ‘ole honkin’ hole in it. super. Hubby said, “No problem, we’ll send them an email and they’ll send us another one.” Then, he goes to put the thing together and there is NO hardware! No little screw, bolt, etc. package in the box. We searched through everything. Not there. Are you kidding me? It took me forever to order this stinkin’ thing and I finally do and get it and this? Come on now. So, back in the box it went and some emails were sent off because conveniently there are no phone numbers on any of the papers that came with the sink. Mommy is NOT pleased.

Not quite how I imagined it.

Cute little sink sitting in a box. I could duct tape it together. That’d be classy. We could use some other screws and hardware we have, but it might mess it up and this thing wasn’t cheap. It should have the flippin’ pieces. So, here she’ll stay until who knows how long. Any guesses on how long it will take to make contact with a human who will ship us the damaged/missing pieces? Wanna place your bet? Any takers? I’m thinking at least a month.
