Happy Christmas

Who’s ready for Christmas (or “the holidays”)?   We are!   I’ve done most of my shopping online this year,  which was nice, especially at the end, where shops started offering super-expedited shipping for free if you spend a certain dollar amount.

UPS continues to taunt me, though.   Throughout the Christmas season, they’ve promised to deliver by a certain date, then doing crazy things, like saying “The package was left in a UPS facility. Transferring to the city of destination.”    Whatever that means.

Then there is the “2-day air” shipping that delayed for arrival.   The last bit should arrive by tomorrow, but since half of the shipment is in Lenexa, KS (may arrive) and half is in Pennsylvania (could possibly arrive), it doesn’t seem promising, does it?

I had shipments that sat in the local UPS office for several days, and then they were put on a truck for delivery, normally one package on one day and the next package on another.

Still, it would be interesting to see how many packages transited via UPS over the holiday season.  To their credit, everything’s arrived on time so far, and in perfect condition.

Anyway, complaining aside… it’s going to be a nice Christmas.   It’s our second Christmas together, but our first as a married couple.   It still seems odd (in a good sort of way), this whole “married” thing.  I feel like I’ve been married to Ian for ages, and it just became official 20-some-odd days ago.

I guess that’s how things feel when you’re married to your soulmate.

Happy Holidays!
