An Open Letter to Dollar Tree

~~Dear~~ (Nope, no kind reference for them) To Whom It May Concern:

You should be ashamed of yourselves. Seriously. The lack of customer service you have displayed is laughable. Silly me for thinking anyone at your company would care about little ol' me and something as ridiculous as, oh, I don't know, receiving an order I placed almost two weeks ago. The sad thing is that I was so excited to have found the perfect item to add to our table at shows. I ordered an entire case. The expected delivery date was August 17th, but I was hoping it would be sooner (as most things are when you order them these days). Alas, at this rate I'm never going to receive my order.

I should have known there'd be a problem when I called on Monday (as week after the order was placed) to see why I hadn't been charged yet. The incompetent and rude rep on the phone said it gets charged when it ships. When I asked why it hasn't shipped yet, she said it was up to UPS. The order said to get it there by August 17th, so she said they'd pick it up when they felt like it in order to get it to me in time. While I hated everything about that conversation, I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

On Wednesday, I was notified that my order had shipped and I was charged! Hooray! I figured I'd have the item sometime yesterday, but when it didn't arrive I got concerned. This morning I tracked it on UPS and saw that the label was created two days ago, but it hasn't moved. Nothing has happened. I contacted UPS and they said they never received the order from Dollar Tree. Guess what Dollar Tree had to say about this?? Are you ready? "It's up to UPS." I've called three or four times already today and spoken to different people and not one of them is smart enough to figure this out. All they say is to call UPS. Well, UPS says to call Dollar Tree. Is this really how I should be spending my time? I just want my order. That's it.

Oh, the best part is that when I asked about the August 17th delivery date, they said it's just an estimate. Well, that's news to me. Why did I order at all? I could have driven around to various stores and found these myself at this point. I'm so frustrated. Of course your website has no information. No way to contact anyone. No way to get help. WHY WON'T SOMEONE JUST HELP ME?!?!

The only thing I know for sure is that I will never order from Dollar Tree online again. And your customer service sucks.

Thanks for nothing,
Pinky Lovejoy

PInky's Fandance - Jeff Meacham

Jeff Meacham plays Josh on black-ish and never fails to crack us up.

It was awesome meeting him at the FYC event!

Welp, So Much For a Good Day

And just when I thought our week was getting better....life stepped in. No sooner had I fallen asleep last night when I heard a, "Help!" from the other room.

A failed hose drenched our once lovely spare room. It is now engulfed in water. WTF!?! I mean, at least it happened at 11:30pm, right? GAH!!!!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Sunday Edition

Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really think that dress is purr-fect (see what I did there?).

So, she got out of the shower, threw on some jammies, and then hit a red carpet? Really?

Hot man + cute dog = happiness.

The top part of this looks like it might burst any second.

If her boyfriend is behind her, who is she holding hands with?!?

Top Five LOL Dogs of the Day

Smart Pup

Sammy has taken to cozying up near the window on our bed where the air is coolest while the window is open.

It's the cutest thing. Smart pup!

Pinky's Fandance - Paul Amos

Paul Amos sat next to us at Marvelous Nerd Years Eve and was a lovely chap (I say lovely because he's got a very cool British accent).

I didn't realize I'd never posted our picture together, but as we'll be seeing him in Colorado Springs next weekend, I figured it was about time! Super cool guy.

Peek-a-Boo Kitty

Yesterday I was rocking a Hello Kitty shirt, Hello Kitty leggings, and Hello Kitty socks (don't worry, I stopped myself from wearing a Hello Kitty necklace, which would've put the whole ensemble over the top).

I didn't realize my socks would show through my shoes like this and I think they make the cutest little Hello Kitty face peeking out.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Saturday Edition

Hello and welcome to Saturday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.

That's just enough. Go away now.

While obviously this is an older picture, I'd never seen a picture of her wedding dress before and I completely adore it.

There are so many things going on in this picture, I'm not even sure where to look.

She always look so fab.

This picture is here for my husband who loves this "bass face" girl from Haim.

Top Five LOL Animals of the Day

Colorado Springs Comic Con - Heading Your Way!

We're so excited to announce that Keith will be a guest at the Colorado Springs Comic Con being held next weeked, August 25th-27th.

I'm not sure I've ever been to Colorado Springs, so it'll be fun to check out someplace new! Plus, we're staying with old friends which will be awesome.

Pinky's Fandance Redux - Garrett Clayton

Last year we had the opportunity to meet Garrett Clayton at the Adventures in Babysitting premiere (for the Disney channel remake).

Our nieces love him in Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2, so we were stoked to meet him.

I had another chance to meet him at an FYC screening for Hairspray Live! and he was still super nice. I meant to get a video message for my niece, Phoenix, but I spaced it. My friend actually tried to get one the next week at a different event and the camera didn't work, so all the video says is, "Hi, Phoenix!" (which, I kinda think, is still awesome). Really cool guy!
