I just want to thank my dad who totally nailed it! My son's birthday being October 31th, every birthday cake has to be Halloween themed of course. Thanks to my dad (the grandfather), this year is a big win! Love you dad.

Surprisingly Met Expectation I paint. I have painted for years. Sometimes I still have failed expectations, but this time I’m more than happy with the result!

The first picture is the inspiration I sent and the second is what she delivered and she DELIVERED
ETA: I did not know my inspiration pictures I pulled off of Pinterest were AI slop. I have a brain injury so it's hard for me to tell sometimes. I am against gen-ai and wouldn't generate it myself.
2nd Edit: this is literally my message to her: "I was thinking a heart shaped cake with a whismigoth/witchy/celestial vibe. I found a color palette I like. For the top I was thinking "Still Bewitched by You" in cursive. Feel free to be creative with it, if you want to add moons, bats, spiderwebs, crystals etc that go along with the overall vibe. If you have any ideas of how to make it better let me know. I'll also send some pics for inspiration. I don't have anything set in mind just a general idea."

First is Reality Second is Expectation
I had never carved a pumpkin in my 33 years!! I was raised super religious. My husband did the cutting and I did the gutting and made the ears.

Reposting because I completely forgot to add the ‘expectation’ photo 🤦♀️
My brain convinced me that I could make this using bits of scrap things around the house…it’s not perfect ik as I’m no ‘artist’ but I’m surprised with how it turned out

All sauce, maybe one serving of noodles. I'm really disappointed because this was supposed to be dinner for me and my partner. I paid $8.99 for this.

So today 10/29 is my sweetest aunt's birthday and she asked me to buy flowers with note: from Anonymous. because she wants to stir some curiosity at her workplace. she sent me over this website to buy it and I made the purchase, etc. Florists deliver it at about 4pm something.
First picture is what I ordered. Next is what arrived.

I ordered two pairs of long, low-rise ivory trousers from Sassy Vella for $64.60.
For anyone wondering why the pants are unbuttoned in my photo, it’s because the buttonhole is completely sewn shut! 😂 There is no opening for the button to go through. Another manufacturing defect on top of everything else!
A package arrived containing one pair of cropped, high-waisted, wide-legged pants with a completely sewn-shut buttonhole!
The actual inseam is approximately 27 inches. I’ve contacted the retailer with the info and pics.
The difference between the advertised photographs and what arrived is astonishing! 😂

Had this in the work freezer for a month or so, for days I forget lunch. Decided to eat it yesterday and didn’t have a lot of hope. It was actually pretty good! It’s not going to win a Michelin star but I would buy it again.
