Tick off Tuesday.

Thanks to Carrie for starting Tick off Tuesday. It gives me a reason to complain and rant.

What ticks me off?

Kelly's Kids.

I am now boycotting the company.

Here is the REAL e-mail sent to their customer service department...

I e-mailed a few weeks ago concerning my order (order #XXXXX-XX). I was told that these items would ship on or before 3/21 and I still have not received these items. Both items were to be worn for Easter Sunday which is this Sunday. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of customer service, communication and in-stock items. This is the second Spring catalog I have ordered from and both times I have ordered, I have not received my items in a timely manner. Before ordering the items from the Spring 2010 catalog, I asked my rep to check and make sure the items were in-stock. When I placed my order, both of my items were in stock. I would have never ordered the items had I known they were out of stock.

I cannot continue to order from Kelly's Kids when I do not receive my items in a timely manner. In my account on the Kelly's Kids website, it states that my order date was 2/14/10. Today is 3/29/10. I need those items before Sunday April 4, 2010. My order was placed 6 weeks ago and I don't think it is too much to ask that my items arrive within that period of time.

I would like to know why these items still have not arrived and why I was not told that these items were out of stock when I ordered them. I also would like to know a date on which the items will arrive.

Due to these circumstances this will be the last order I will be making with your company.

Sincerely,
My name
My e-mail

Attached are the 3 previous e-mail sent and received involving Kelly's Kids.

To whom it may concern,
I do not have any recent orders or tracking information in my Kelly's Kids account.
I was wondering if my dress and sash had been shipped yet.
Thank you in advance for your help,

--------------------------------

No word yet on the status of my order.

They haven't e-mailed me back yet.

If no e-mail comes tomorrow, I'm calling.

Calling... and that, my friends, is NOT a good thing.

They are about to meet "Psycho Hailey who wants her freaking dress and sash that she ordered!"

Wipes brow... shew... I'm done.

Tick Off Tuesday.

Something that really ticks me off is when people make fun of my Southern accent. Number one... I can't help the way I talk. Number two... I'm not that country. I say ain't. I say y'all. I refer to my Dad as "Deady" which sometimes comes out "Diddy". I am not ashamed. I don't try to cover my accent.

I also hate it when people assume that you are ignorant if you have a Southern accent. This is not true. My kid might say "frawg" instead of frog and "aint" instead of ant but we are not stupid people. We might talk slow but we know what we are saying {well, most of us do anyway}.

So, the next time you imitate a person's accent and throw off on them, know who you are talking too because I might get my "Diddy to open his cain of whoop ace on y'all!" ;) FYI: I don't really talk like what is in quotations but some Southerns do.

Tick Off Tuesday

Big thanks to Carrie for starting this Tuesday fun day.
-------------------------------
Open letters to those that have ticked me off this week...


Dear Husband,
I can do a lot of things. I can do the cheap paper plates. I can do the cheap tampons. I can do the cheap paper towels. I can not, repeat can NOT, do the cheap toilet paper. If you ever come home with 1-ply toilet paper that feels like sandpaper EVER again, I don't even know what is going to happen. You just better hope that I have taken a Xanax that day because if not, the repercussions may be irreversible. 1-ply toilet paper is not even sanitary. Never again will I depend on you to buy toilet paper. Never.again.

Love,
Your wife who has been using the little box of expensive flushable wipes
-------------------------------


Dear Jake,
I am not even going to waste a lot of time on you. Just know that you are an idiot who is now engaged to a mullet wearing, crossed eyed dumb ass if I've ever seen one. Because of you, I will never watch the Bachelor again.

Sincerely,
Very disappointed fan

PS- You really suck.
-------------------------------

I know there are more. I am too tired to think. Enjoy those. More to come later in the week.

Must shower.

Must sleep.

Tick off Tuesday on Thursday {because I was too lazy to write it earlier}

Dear Brad and Angie {Can I call you that? Can I call you Angie instead of Angelina?},

I have concerns about your children. Namely, Shiloh. Oh how beautiful she is. The cutest lips, the perfect little nose, the cutest blonde hair. My concern? The most recent picture of your child...

Photo courtesy of People.com

It is quite possible that your child may be the next Chastity... turned Chaz... Bono.

The "pageboy hairstyle" aka "bowl cut" isn't so flattering. Shiloh looks like a boy.

This isn't the first time I have noticed the way you dress her. I know that it is absolutely none of my business but I must get my frustrations off of my chest. The way your dress {and now cut Shiloh's hair} ticks me off. Very badly.

I googled a few pictures for proof.

Exhibit A:

Summer wear

Photo courtesy of People.com

Where do I begin? The tie. The shirt that is possibly a hand-me-down from Pax. The wind suit pants that are also possibly a hand-me-down from Pax. The fedora. Really?
The saddest part? Look at her sweet older sister, Zahara, who was walking with her in this picture.

I would totally wear that dress and I'm 25 24. It is awesome and I love it and I wish they had it in my size. Z was like 3 and made InStyle magazine. Every little girls dream. ;)
This picture proves to me that you know how to dress a girl. So why is Shiloh always dressed like a boy?

Exhibit B: Winter weather wear

Photos courtesy of People.com

The wind suit. The tennis shoes. The monkey ear hat. Really? Really?

Z's winter weather wear?

Photo courtesy JustJared

Bright tights. Cute girly shoes. Cute colorful hat. Awesome black princess coat.

I just don't understand.

Exhibit C: Jolie-Pitt girls minus Vivienne.

Photo courtesy iBabyCouture

You, Angie, know how to dress. Minus the tattoos you are probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You say that Shiloh is a "tomboy". I call dressing like a "tomboy", wearing boyfriend jeans and your hair in a ponytail. Actually taking on the role of the "boy" part of the word "tomboy" is a bit extreme.

Dress that sweet baby in girl clothing. Please. I beg you. You are both beautiful people and your children are beautiful too. It is just sad that I am secretly thinking about what name Shiloh will choose in her later years. My bet is she will go for "Shi" because "loh" sounds too girly. You never know, she may throw a "z" on the end and make it "Shiz". "Shiz Jolie-Pitt".

Sad.

Very concerned,
Your biggest fan and supporter... Hailey {just Hailey. No "z". No boy clothes. Just Hailey.}

Tick off Tuesday {On Wednesday}.

The HOT sign not being on when you decide to go through the Krispy Kreme drive-thru.

Pisses me off to no end!

That is all.

Enough said.

Tick Off Tuesday.

Thanks to Carrie for this carnival she calls Tick Off Tuesday. Join in on the fun.

I love taking pictures. I love editing pictures. I'm not awesome but I am pretty good.

Nothing ticks me off more than for someone to say, "Your pictures are so good. What kind of camera do you have? I can't wait to get a camera like that so that I can take pictures like you."

Time out.

My camera isn't that great.

It is better than a point and shoot but it isn't awesome. {This is not my camera but one day it will be.}

Just in case you were wondering, the camera just takes the picture that I tell it to take. The camera doesn't tell me where to take the picture, how to take the picture, or what lens to use to take the picture.

That, my friends, is me.

That is my job.

I'm not a snob and I'm not being a bitch. My pictures are nowhere as great as others that I know. Anyway, if you want an awesome camera, buy an awesome camera. Learn how to take pictures and love what you do.

Next time we have a conversation, compliment me. Don't act like my pictures are only good because I have a DSLR.

This was taken with my little point and shoot.



Just as good as these, yes?

Tick Off Tuesday.

Another edition of tick off Tuesday is in session thanks to Carrie. She is the brainchild of this cute little ranting game that I love.

----------------------------

I feel that it is best to write these "tick-offs" in letter form.

Dear woman with your stick people and flip flop stickers on the back of your car,
Really? Really? Why do you have about 15 stick people figures on your back glass? Are all of those your children and grandchildren? What did those stick people accomplish? What is the purpose? Your flip-flop stickers piss me off too. Why? Do you love flip-flops THAT much?

PS- It is not necessary to have stick dog and stick cat in your line up as well. No one cares.

Sincerely,
Mom who will NEVER put stick people or flip-flop stickers on her back glass

Dear Summer,
Where are you? This winter crap really pisses ticks me off. The ice, the snow, the cold rain. It is terrible. I miss you.

Always,
Your lover

Dear Mirena IUD,
I have had you for over a year and I am not happy with you. You make me have hot flashes. You make me have terrible headaches. You didn't do what you told me you were going to. You said no more visits from Aunt Flow. WRONG! Every 28 days for 7-9 days straight she comes to visit. I would break up with you but there is no other option for me at this point. Just keep doing your job of keeping me from getting knocked up and I will forgive you.

Sincerely,
Lady who is in the small percent of women with a Mirena who still has visits from Aunt Flow

Tick-off Tuesday.

Thanks to Carrie, I now have one day a week that I don't feel bad for bitching. It is awesome and I love it. Thanks, Carrie for this brain-child you call Tick-off Tuesday.
-------------------------------

This week, I am going to rant about my husband. His name... Ryan. What ticks me off... lots of things.
I think it is best if I make a list.

1. He doesn't close drawers or cabinets. If he opens a drawer to get a shirt, he doesn't close the drawer. If he opens a cabinet to get a plate, he doesn't close the cabinet. Why? I don't know ask him.
Just close the cabinet. Just close the drawer. It is not that serious of a situation. It takes about .56 more seconds to just hit the cabinet so that it closes.

2. He knocks on the walls. I mean, he will randomly break out in a beat on the wall. WTH? The first time, we might break down and dance. By number 6 of the day, we are over it. It is totally annoying to us {meaning me and the children}.

3. Have I ever told you how much I hate to hear him brush his teeth? Oh my good gracious. It is awful. He has to get up super early for work. The sounds he makes use to wake me up from a dead sleep. God blessed my by teaching me to sleep through that ordeal. I should video him brushing his teeth so that you people get the full effect of how awful it is. I cringe when I hear it. It is equivalent to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

So, that is it. That is my Tick-off Tuesday.

PS- I love you, Ryan.
