As for the weather, it's 23, with an 80% chance of snow. Which means I should probably go out there and salt the sidewalk a bit more, so the UPS Man doesn't kill himself [or my stuff] on his way to my door.

Edit: well, that's odd. The Out for Delivery times changed. The 4lb box to 3:55AM, and the 19lb box to 5:28AM. So they're not together.

Stupid UPS.

That doesn't mean much, though. Between the 'stuff could show up well after 7pm' and the impending snow...ih.

And I've got a serious Middleswarth BBQ chip craving.

And they're still together. Yay.

Depending on how things work with them this year, that means I should be seeing them arrive in Commerce City on...Monday, even though they'll probably have gotten there over the weekend.

My next post will probably be about the packages getting split up, or about them making it to the next exciting stop, since they left Williamsport last night.

No mention of a delivery date, though. I don't know if that means they just forgot to register that, or if they just don't know.

...and I'm posting this mostly to try out this 'QuickPress' thing in the dashboard.

So now everything's even more everywhere than usual, and I have no room to do anything but move stuff back into other places....

That box is supposed to have my chips in it, too.

To hold us all over, here's the first wave of pictures.

The cookie tubs, with cookies and fudge. The fudge was a surprise. I figured I'd only get chocolate this year, but I got chocolate, peanutbutter, and chocolate/peanutbutter layered.

...and that's the other box. No presents, just stuff.

More later.

That's two boxes right there. Two. One less than three. And I don't currently know which one is missing because UPS can't fucking scan things or keep their system updated.

Insta update: I have no chips. There will be much rage, as there are NO CHIPS to soothe my NO PRESENTS rage.

10lb and 15lb box showed up. Fifteen had the cookie pails, some shirts, and my old copy of The Stand. And one wrapped present. Just the one. Ten had my SNES in it. And a pasta container. And this two-legged cat-like marionette. And my old Garfield alarm clock.

I want my chips. I want presents, too, but I WANT MY CHIPS NOW.

The delivery date has not changed. So, Thursday sometime. Chips and fudge and cookies and SNES, and stuff I can't open until Saturday.

Edit: I didn't notice this before, but it was 'in transit to' Commerce City almost an hour before it left Hodgkins, IL.

I really dislike UPS....
