What, you were expecting a Christmas update, not a dinosaur update? It was mostly uneventful except I got the most awesome coffee maker ever. And 5 adults stood and watched it make coffee for hours. Well, maybe more like ten minutes but it is very, very awesome, revolutionary really. Because it makes coffee. Coffee that tastes good. See, I'm a really good cook, but I can't make coffee to save my life. So, Doug has to make coffee. Except Doug isn't home weekday mornings and then I don't have coffee. But now I do. And it makes chai, and hot chocolate, and lattes and cappuccinos. And no, they did not send it to me, or pay me to write this. My in laws bought it for me. And I love it.
In other news the dinosaur that was promised to me to be here on Friday was not here. Instead it will be here, THIS Friday. Yes, that's a full TWO WEEKS not TWO DAYS. Fisher Price's answer, "oops, we are sorry, would you like $50 off one of our toys?" My answer "NO BECAUSE I AM NEVER BUYING ONE OF YOUR CRAPPY TOYS AGAIN." Seriously, Michael got two Fisher Price toys for Hanukkah, both of which were broken, one of which was $200. And then they LIED TO ME about how long it would take to replace. Supposedly they are refunding me for both dinosaurs, the replacement and the original. I will believe that when I see it.
And I stopped the mail, because Doug was paranoid about the dinosaur sitting on our doorstep for a day or two while we were away (wow, did he have misguided faith.) And the post office never resumed delivery. So now, I have no mail and no dinosaur. Sometimes I feel like no one in the world is competent but me and a black cloud hangs over my head. And I need a random rantiness category.
Bottom line, Michael still does not have a replacement Spike and I'm still complaining about it on twitter. So really, a week later, and nothing has changed.
And how was your Christmas?

That’s totally crappy service. I would be furious too. They better refund all your money. THey should throw in a few free toys as well. Don’t they know how hard it is to tell a poor 3 year old that his toy still isn’t here yet…

I got an iphone.
BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!
And I am really sorry about the dinosaur, that just sucks. I think so many of these toys today don’t live up to the hype.

That sucks! I hope it really does come this Friday!
Although, by this time, has Michael forgotten about it?

Hopped on over here from DBN's blog. Love it!
I like that coffee maker! I've never seen it here (in The Netherlands). We got Nespresso & Senseo, but this I've never seen in Europe.

That’s so weird because while I have had problems with Fisher Price toys before (and baby gear) I have had nothing but a great experience with their customer service, on numerous occasions. That blows. Poor Michael. I hope the dino comes early AND you get lots of free stuff. Seriously.

Dear God woman!!!
Do you think your family could adopt me, because they give some awesome gifts. I’ll join in on the FP boycott. What crappy customer service. How is Michael handling it??? Or has another gift stolen the dinosaur’s thunder for the time being????

I’m really surprised by the customer service at FP, I’ve always had great experiences with them.
I’m sorry about Spike!

i bought myself a keurig in 2008 (after coveting a tassimo for well over a year), and i absolutely love it, too! i don’t drink coffee, which i why i ended up with the keurig: it has many more options for hot chocolate and tea than any of the other single-serve machines. but regardless, to push a button and have hot anything in under 30 seconds is fantastic, and i absolutely love mine. congrats on getting your tassimo, and on finally resolving dinsaurgate
