It arrived! YEAH!!!

Well folks... I'm honored that Ste sent me the information to post the video of him opening the package I sent.  He's taking a break from journaling for a bit yet he promised to share so we decided to put it here.  Please just keep him in good thoughts and send him as many good vibes as you can muster!  Thanks

 

Just a bit of background so some things make sense to you.  Bless him, he got the package early in the day and waited until I got home from work so I could 'be' there when he opened it.  What will power he has for I'd have ripped into that package hours earlier!  There was some limitation on what we could do.  Ste could either video and let me watch as he opened or we could talk and he could tape without me seeing.  I wanted to talk, so that is what we did.  That should explain some of the comments made regarding what he is actually doing.  The tape was actually much longer but YouTube has limitations as well, so he had to edit a bit to get it small enough to upload.  I sound horrible, but it was such fun.  Even as I watch it, over and over again, I still crack up.  I will treasure this always Ste!!  Love you babes!

 

The package was to be a surprise, tho Mum knew.  I had sent the package using the US Postal Service.  Big MISTAKE!!!  They told me it would be there within 4-10 days.  I knew Ste would tell me immediately that he got it, and when the days went by I got concerned.  Nothing... natta!!  I called the post office and it was a joke to say the least.  They had no idea and wouldn't even look until it had been 10 business days.  So on the 10th 'business day' I talked to Pat  and we made arrangements for her to contact me during the following day if he hadn't gotten it.  We both knew he'd call and tell her as well.  This would assure that I could call, set up a track on it, and bitch before they closed.  Well later that same evening while talking to Ste he made a comment about getting a letter a few days earlier stating they tried to deliver a parcel.   The next day he got one so he thought it was the one they left a note about.  Then a couple days later, another note.  I knew what it was so I told him I had sent something little just to be silly.  So he didn't really spoil anything, I'm just thrilled the package got there. 

 

Ste and I talk a bit.  LOL, ok so a lot.  We've talk about everything, including local customs etc.  So what I sent was just a bit of 'my home.'  Nothing big, nothing extravagant.  It actually all started with the celebration chat.  Robin (robinngabster)  had asked him about Underoos and he had no clue.  The conversation went in all different directions, including me teasing about sending him some and he could wear them on his head and sing YMCA.   (though I wanted him to sing his version!)  It went from there, tidbits bought, packaged and sent.   So there you have it... a little bit of our silliness and friendship.
