Hmm...i am pretty sure my friend had never experienced snow or cold weather before. Well, maybe she had seen snow before but not icy streets/roads. Come to think of it, Fairbanks was the only place I lived where they did not put salt on the roads because it was too cold out to melt the ice. They have these ice breaking trucks with big blades that break up the ice on the roads.

So according to tracking, the box has gone back to Allen Park, which is where the main sort facility is. I called my PO today, and they said since it was being forwarded, it had to go from Rochester, back to the main sort facility in Allen Park, where it should be being resorted and sent to Auburn Hills, which will then get it on the truck to me. The lady said if it got back to the main sort facility yesterday (which tracking said it did) it should have gotten on the truck to Auburn Hills today, and will be delivered tomorrow, Monday at the latest. I'm keeping my frozen little fingers crossed it gets here tomorrow!

Guess what was on my porch this morning when I left for work!? It's here it's here!!

I won't have a chance to open it till I get home, but it finally made it! The box is in great shape too! I would have assumed they smashed and squashed the heck out of the poor thing, for as long as thy had it! :p Thank you Tiki!!

*Side note: don't ever forward mail during the holidays... The PO will take almost a month to get your stuff to you.

Yay! Glad it finally reached you! What a pain in the butt, though!

xeevee · « **Reply #1478 on:** January 04, 2014, 04:30:20 AM »

Horray!!!

And that's the swap everyone. Please make sure you've left feedback for your partner.

If you have not received feedback yet, let me know. I'll leave it for you myself if I have to.

And thanks so much everyone

99 pages of talk is also crazy. Although how sad it isn't 100

Yay, all the boxes have arrived and they're all awesome! What a wonderful swap. Thanks!

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job as host, xeevee!

And thanks for the memory jog with regards to feedback, too...

I've left mine for my partner, so all is well on this front.

Already looking forward to next year's edition! (And I now officially detest my iPad's spellcheck, which turned new year's edition into new year sedition - twice!)
