Good news, bad news type of day

[WOT?*]

I ordered tablets for the grands for Christmas. Guess what didn't come for Christmas? Should have been here no later than December 28, even though I ordered expedited. Said it shipped on December 23. Never arrived. USPS was apparently notified it was ready for shipping but it was never sent. Not a happy camper over here. I contacted them with no response. So I e-mailed them again. I check my Amazon inbox today after e-mailing them *again* and note the first one did not send. And my order was cancelled. Apparently my order, as well as a *lot* of others, were cancelled with no contact judging by the feedback that was left today. At least I got my money back, which is more than I can say for some of the others apparently.

On the good side of things, the King Tut exhibit is in town through Sunday. DH and I both really wanted to see it (as does GD1). I tried buying the tickets yesterday after purchasing a membership but the system wouldn't process completely through. So I went this afternoon to buy the tickets and they're sold out. So I call and I was told that there were a few tickets that were returned, but I have to call the ticket line. I can't get through. So I try online again and, even though the site said they were sold out, I ran through and yes, they have tickets available. The ones I wanted were gone but we'll be seeing the King Tut exhibit on Saturday at 10:15 p.m. (with the girls so guess who's taking a nap on Saturday and sleeping in on Sunday.) I had to purchase with Imax tickets for a show at 11:30 a.m. but what the heck, we can always see the movie and come back for show after evening naps. But at least we get to see the exhibit before it leaves town. Woohoo!
