So a few weeks ago, Mrs. Dave ordered our birth announcements from a company who shall remain nameless (though we're happy to out them if they don't come through pronto). Obviously, since we don't have the date/weight/name just yet, we can't get the announcements themselves, but this company offers the option of sending the envelopes first so that they can be addressed ahead of time. She placed the order with the hopes of getting the envelopes prior to Thanksgiving, so she could start addressing them over the long weekend at my parents' place, without any distractions other than food, more food, and the occasional walk on the beach (it's still beautiful, even when it's 35 out). Unfortunately, they did not arrive before Thanksgiving. They did, however, arrive today, with the return address already on them.
The return address was John X and Madelyn Y.
The city was Miami Beach.
The package was not mailed anywhere NEAR Miami Beach.
The only silver lining in all of this is that Mrs. Dave is not only completely in her rights to call and completely bawl them out, but since this IS a birth announcement order, and they basically have to sit there and take it since they'll be hearing from a 9-month-pregnant woman whose order they screwed up. I just hope she has it in her to give them a good reaming.
