Re Box of Crap - the EA version

Don't feel bad. You have a soul sister right here, the veritable queen of absentness. I just didn't happen to be absent about Christmas cards. But the EA BOC, that keeps slipping my mind. Should I start in the basement and work up? Should I look for my crapee's address first? The deadline looms.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

I'm having a tough time finding a carton big enough for my crap. I'll have to scrounge around the office today and see if there's anything I can glom. If not, I may have to go to a moving supply store and pick up a carton.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

Hmmm...I'm thinking multiple boxes may be in order. Or maybe I'll just send an extra little something to everybody who's playing along!

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

Lucky, Cindy. My mother has been up to her usual "bring crap to Margo's house" self. Things are lookin' good. That woman should not be allowed to work in a retail environment.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

I got the perfect carton from the office. (Margaret, don't be disappointed when you don't find a monitor inside.)

The box is now filled with crap, sealed, addressed and ready to be shipped tomorrow.

It's almost a crap accompli!

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

Hey Margaret...

[tracking number removed]

Should be there tomorrow.

There's one thing that I wanted to add but can't seem to locate. I'll mail that separately if and when it turns up.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

A word of advice to all if you can't find something in your home. Ship part of it to another address. The other piece will magically appear right away.

Margaret, look for an envelope from the post office. It goes with the carton from UPS.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

So if I plug that tracking number in to UPS will it give me Margaret's address so I can go stalk her?

Actually, no. It will say it can't find the shipment in the system.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

Did you sent something to my parents?

UGH!!!

My mom has taken to mailing me all of the crap that gets mailed to her house that the post office isn't smart enough to forward to me. You're probably costing my mom $.41, Sara!!! It'll be at least a month before I will be able to see my parents in person. *muble*muble*mumble*

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

Rest assured, UPS is heading to your address. Mom is off the hook.

The other package (from USPS) will be heading there too as soon as I get to the post office.

Re Box of Crap - the EA version

The tracking information just hit the UPS system.

I didn't know what the package weighed until now.

Bend your knees when you lift it.

Oh crap. I forgot to cut air holes in the carton.

Sorry 'bout that.
