Hello ladies!
Quiet today. Everyone must be (gasp) working.
I am prepping for the Polar Vortex that will be sweeping down the Middle for the next five days.
Mariapia, I am ready for that small WARM village where there is no internet.
Shockingly cold....and it's not even technically winter for another week.
It's just wrong!
Anyone else frozen too?

Oh, I LOVE carousel horses!:heart:
With their painted, immobile teeth.
And fixed limbs.
I whack them with the safety strap/reins a lot. During rides.
So they behave.:biggrin:

It's pretty cold in the area as well... I am freezing at home. You should see me in the evening....
Look like a very old lady ... pajamas, robe, wool socks etc.
If somebody rings the bell, I won't answer....
No way is someone going to see me in such attire ....:nuts::nuts:

My Postina was supposed to be delivered yesterday at what they call a UPS access point.
Only trouble is.... the shop is closed on Wednesdays...:doh:
I happened to walk past it when the UPS van arrived.They couldn't give me the parcel but said they would deliver it again today same place...But.... seems that it won't be that easy....:hrmm:
I got a notification according to which my parcel will be taken to another access point..... located 3 miles from where I live....
I will have to ask someone to drive me there unless the delivery man takes his promise....
I will keep you posted!:sad::sad:

I am so sorry that UPS has its head up its butt.
Fingers crossed it comes back to your neighborhood.

Bundling up to stay INDOORS is weird at best.
I have a leopard print robe, plaid flannel pajamas and pink camo hunting socks that I wear in cold weather.
We can be twins. Warm twins.

No more notification from UPS.....
The access point owner ( the first one)I saw this morning told me he would ask the delivery man about my parcel. He phoned me two hours ago. The UPS gentleman didn't have it .... He didn't even know where it was...The shop owner has my tracking number now. He said he would try to find the parcel...
He hasn't called me back... I fear the worst!:nuts::nuts:

It is somewhere. With only 6 days til Christmas the delivery people are probably swamped.
Most likely it is riding around in the back of the truck enjoying the sights of the city.
Where does your tracking info show it to be?
