Due to some “what day is it on the other side of the world” confusion, I thought my fist sample bag was coming next Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Yesterday, Wendy sent me a new tracking number and it turned out the bag was coming – yesterday! I about died.
After updating my Twitter and Facebook status, calling UPS twice and my husband standing out on our porch trying to flag down another UPS driver, the bag still wasn’t here. It was 6:15 and I had to leave for my cookie exchange. So, I got it the car and hoped UPS was working overtime.
At 8:30 I received the following photo on my phone:
The package was here!
I raced carefully drove home and made a beeline for the bag. My husband cracked open a bottle of campagne while I opened the package. When I finally got the bubble wrap off I just look at the bag for a minute. There it was! Finished! We lifted our glasses and toasted to my last 2010 goal accomplished.
Now, I’d love to tell you that’s the end of the story. I’ll place my order and live happily ever after. But, of course, its not. I’ll be testing the bag, making tweaks and getting feedback before the final order is placed.
But I’m thrilled to have this BIG step done. 2011 is going to be one hell of a good time. Thanks for coming to the party.
Soooo happy for you! Can’t wait to see your final piece. And I knew I loved you…you’re a Fresca girl, too!
