Epic Fail

This is a story of how a simple online shopping experience could transform into the epic fail of the year. A memorable story about a forgetful Cheekmunk and her adventure to return home.

What seemed like a well thought out of plan of ordering two Dect phones online to save shipping cost returned more than she bargained for. It made perfect sense. Buy the two phones on sale, sell one back at cost and keep the other one.


What wasn't in the plan was selling your house keys to the buyer in the exchange. It took about 5 seconds before SS realized she left the keys in the bag with the phone... calling the buyer yielded no result when he offered to sell the plastic bag recyclable bag back to her and drove off with the keys.


With no keys, she was locked outside and couldn't return home. The resourceful Cheekmunk tried all sorts of ideas. From opening the door with a credit card to prying the windows open with something sharp. At one point, she even brought out the ladder to attack the house from the roof... or at least it seemed that way.

Alas, all was not lost. Almost 2 hours into the the ordeal, our heroic city police arrived to save the day. Couple with a Humble Bee, the courageous Cheekmunk was able to travel across the city to retrieve her keys.

It was a happy hour for her afterward, and an even happier Humble Bee.

24 out of 25 Ain't Bad

Today, SS did an online quiz to get 100% on it. She scored 95% 96% (fail blog Bee can't do math) with 24 out of 25 correct.

Frustrated, she spent the next hour taking notes, applying process of elimination and asked Bee to check all the answers she suspected to be wrong.

So Bee did. And told her the wrong answer was none of the suspected wrong. It was one of the "right" answers she thought was correct.

Frame, Glasses, Mailbox

Eat, Love, Pray

A combination of words which probably makes no sense to anyone who haven't read the book and confuses them more than anything. Which was how I felt yesterday when SS asked whether I picked up her glasses from the mailbox.

Mmm what?

There were two plans.

#1. Keep existing frame
Originally, SS were to put the glasses in the mailbox so I could grab them and drop them off at V. She then picks them up when they're ready in the afternoon.

#2. Try to find a new frame for the glasses, and use current only if necessary

So really, SS just need to bring her own glasses with her, go to the store and pick out a new frame. OR if there's nothing suitable, she would use the old frame with the new lenses. (And I would go pick them up at V when they're ready)

I'll let you guess which plan SS decided to engage that morning...

Backwards

This is the Nth time Bee has wore his T-shirt backwards.
... and he thought he changed it in time before I noticed. =p

Watermelon conversations

Bee was waiting on the phone for a customer service representative to become available. I have cut up some very delicious watermelon to eat after our dinner. Bee was chewing happily on a watery piece until .... "Thank you for calling XXX, my name is XXXX, who am I speaking to?" came from the other side of the phone. Without thinking, Bee let out the most awkward sound to answer the CSR, still with food in his mouth. =p I could not help but laugh, for the next ten minutes, I was laughing on the ground, LOL.
