Today I went to the office (had to pick up a CHECK -- that is a good thing).
In the lab area there were HUGE boxes all over the place -- 5 or 6 of them at least. It looked like Christmas had already come!!
My client's parents are being moved to Tucson due to health problems and will be residing in an adult care facility here. So, my client & his wife have to furnish their residences. I've been helping them find beds, bed rails, etc. Anyway, his wife bought all the bed linens, towels, shower curtains, etc., from Overstock.com. She bought some lovely items, including some very nice dark blue stoneware.
Well, the order that contained the stoneware was accidentally DOUBLED, and so she now has SIX sets of dishes instead of THREE!! And guess what, they also sent two sets of dishes that were the wrong color -- RED!! And the dark blue is Tyler's color.
So instead of sending them back to Overstock.com, I am going to buy the extra three sets from her. I had been looking for some dishes for Tyler's apartment for Christmas (he currently only has a service for 4, and I was looking for another set to match his). The color of the blue is nearly perfect and they are masculine (no frills) enough that he will enjoy them. And they were terribly inexpensive on overstock.com, but very nice stoneware. SOOOO, I end up with two sets of RED and Tyler will get the blue!! And my client's parents will get the other three sets! COOL BEANS!! Saved me a shopping trip and saved her the irritation of sending them back!!

I'm now going to look for some chargers in silver so I can use these red dishes for Christmas -- they will be lovely!
I like it when things like that happen!
