I haven't posted this until now, since I couldn't even bear to think about the outcome until it was all over...
RBB, this is going to both horrify and crack you up!
I had offered to send RBB my rouge Herbag bottom to use for awhile, since I wasn't using it and she was curious about the color.
I packed it all up and put it in the trunk of my car, to be dropped off at FedEx in the next day or so.
Little did I know that my husband had plans to trade in my car as a surprise to me, without telling me. He knew I liked the Land Rover, so it would be a welcome surprise.
Except...
The box got overlooked when my car was being traded in. It went with the car.
So, home comes my husband with my new Land Rover (which I freaking *LOVE*
) and the first thing out of my mouth is:
"Where the box that was in the trunk of the Audi?"
"Um. What box? Oh, and you're welcome!" He was all bent that I hadn't thrown myself all over him in gratitude. First things first, buddy...there's Hermes at stake, here!
(as patiently as possible
"The. Box. That. Was. In. The. TRUNKOFTHEAUDI! Were is it?" :boxing:
Ok, so this went on for about 5 minutes, until I asked him to please just call the dealership, locate the box and ask to have it put to the side.
He calls.
And this is what I hear on his end...
"What do you mean, the car is already gone? I just left there an hour ago! Well, can you radio the truck and ask to have it brought back? I'll pay the damn fuel surcharge, I don't care. Look, do you have a wife? Help me out!"
The car was on it's way to a central distributor where the car would be looked over and then they would decide what to do with it.
The car would not arrive until the following day, after a few other pick-ups oat other dealerships.
So, there was nothing to do but sit. And wait. And wait.
2 days later, we get a call. The box had been found. Yay, right?
Well, no. It seems that the contents of the car now belonged to the distribution lot and I would have to do some fast talking to get them to release it back to me.
I finally got a nice lady on the phone, explained the situation and she offered to drop it off to FedEx and ship it back to me.
It just arrived. I can breathe now.
So.
Sarah, it will be on it's way to you shortly, and all of this is a very public explanation as to why it's so late in arriving.
