Just so you dont think i'm totally slacking

let me remind you that I have a second blog here where I have been updating as well. As Leslie pointed out today, my crafts blog has somewhat become a cooking blog these days. Oh well, that's a craft too!

Leslie filled weekend

This weekend Leslie briefly came to town to go to her old friend's wedding. She made the wise choice to pick me as her date. It was a bit amusing though when she introduced me as her date people would go "oh...her date?". The fact that I was wearing an engagement ring didnt sway them either since its DC and all.

The other funny thing was that the place cards all had 2 numbers on it. A dinner number, and a dance number. I incorrectly guessed that we would be dancing in shifts, and that Leslie and I would have to wait till Dance #8 to get up. Instead there were 2 different rooms and sets of tables for dinner and dancing.

Mine and leslie's big plan was to come home and watch G-Force, unfortunately that didnt happen :( oh well.

www.chinagoodgoods.com lies

Ok so I know what you are thinking just by that sketchy website name at all, but I decided to go ahead and make a purchase. I wanted floating LED lights for a pool and they had an amazing deal of under 3 dollars for 20 of them, so i bought 2 sets thinking i'd get 40 and be set. I paid and got a confirmation saying they would be here in 15 days. Well 15 days came and went so I emailed them to find out where it was, and they changed their story that it takes a minimum of 20 days to arrive and to be patient.

They FINALLY arrived and I was shocked how small the box was. I opened it up and there it was, 2 floating LED lights...not the 40 I had ordered!

This is the page from which I ordered: http://www.chinagoodgoods.com/floating-flower-rose-led-lights-ceg212_p69153.html

Below is the description cut and pasted directly from the website. Read it for yourself, wouldnt you think you'd get 20 per order???

I emailed the company to ask about this and basically they were like "ooops we forgot to change that". They offered to refund me which is good except I still dont have the lights that I need and have no wasted a month waiting for the mail to arrive and just have to order them again from elsewhere. UGH stupid chinagoodgoods
