Well, I can say that the mailing deadlines sure crept up fast, and I need to get my butt in gear and finish what I started, otherwise I may end up paying the most expensive shipping method to ensure it gets there by xmas


Hopefully I start feeling better by tomorrow

Ooooh I tried some awesome peppermint brownies that a friend made on the weekend, so I think I'll make some of those this afternoon to put in the package

I've been watching for it, but it hasn't shown up yet.
I've been out of chocolate for a few days, too.

When you say "regular mail," do you mean first class/priority or parcel post?

Speaking only for myself, I understand that to mean using any of the services offered by the postal service of your country, as opposed to using a courier such as FedEx or DHL. If your postal service aligns itself with one of the courier companies to offer particularly expedited service, I would not understand "regular mail" to include that.

Now, did I finish putting the final touches on my Secret Santa gift? Have I finished procrastinating but have been watching those shipping times?

I am going to give my final hints about the state in which my Secret Santee lives.

You do not live in one of the states that lies along the Mississippi River.

You live in one of the top 5 states in size in the US.

Two of the 5 should have been excluded by my other clues. How is your geography?
