Update: To mail the boots cost $9.85. Possibly worth it, since I doubt Daughter #1 could purchase new, unworn boots for that price. Just got off the phone with her, though, and now we have a conundrum. This projected Atlantic Seaboard snowfall has already, at 6:30 p.m. CST on Thursday night resulted in the cancellation of five, yes, five social engagements for Daughter #1 in the next 36 hours. Tonight, as zero, nada, none, not one snowflakes fall from the sky, happy hour was rescheduled. Then, all employees of her company were encouraged to "work from home" on Friday (tomorrow). Next, the bi-monthly sorority alumna luncheon, scheduled for Saturday morning has been called off, on account of the pending snow. And, Daughter #1's boss, who was scheduled for vacation to Orlando tomorrow (Friday) has postponed her vaca one week. Out of fear of not being able to get to the airport. So, now that the boots are in the mail, en route? Daughter #1 fears the impending white stuff will totally incapacitate the Atlantic Seaboard, rendering it impossible for the mail carrier to deliver the anticipated boots! Stay tuned.
Next post....futher refining what no new clothes means.....Are there exceptions to the rule?

It makes me laugh so hard to have myself be quoted back to me. I do sound ridiculous sometimes. But your words do still influence me and I think in the end, the boots delivered.
ReplyDeleteThe boots did deliver, very deliberately, as they arrived just as the snowflakes started to fall!
