I can hear you now... "what an odd title for a mid-March post. why is she just now talking about Valentine's day?"
Because, the Valentine's packages we have been waiting for arrived TODAY. You see, there was some confusion in Tallahassee about which method of shipping was the best to use for mailing overseas. Now, we all know that UPS and FedEX are out of the question b/c they won't ship to PO boxes, so that leaves us with the good ole USPS. Once in the Post Office with all of the happy people who love their jobs SO much, there are several options available for shipping packages. The two most economical are Priority Mail and Parcel Post. I'll say it once. NEVER EVER EVER EVER USE PARCEL POST!!!! ALWAYS USE PRIORITY MAIL.
That said, my (wonderful, fabulous, brilliant) mom didn't really know the difference between the two and shipped the V-day prizes via Parcel Post. OK, the difference is a slow boat to Japan that takes 4-6 weeks or an Airplane to Japan that takes 5-10 days. Always use Priority Mail.
Here's what boxes that have been on a boat for six weeks look like:
But, all's well that ends well, and we are thoroughly enjoying our Valentine's goodies now! Thanks Mom and Bunker for sending the rest of my Christmas loot and the great packages!
LOVE,
