I ordered it plus some matching drapes. The plan was to paint the bedroom in colors to match. The drapes arrived almost immediately, but the comforter set was back-ordered, so we waited patiently. For almost two months! The promised ship date came and went, I called the store, they said it would ship the next day. Two days later, I got an e-mail stating that they had canceled the order. I was angry, disappointed, frustrated. On the bright side, I hadn&#8217;t seen the comforter in person, so I couldn&#8217;t be sure of the color. The blue in the drapes had a disturbing hint of teal. I hate teal. So I&#8217;m going to assume Universe just wanted to save me from a teal bedroom. The store took the drapes back without a problem.<\/li>\n<li>The Monday holiday did me no favors. It was a long week. I spent over 12 hours working on Wednesday so that I could meet my Thursday deadline.\u00a0 On the bright side, my magazine is done and the next few weeks of work will be easy and fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Pollyanna am I, but I really should try to look on the bright side more.
