Our Starter kit arrived!! Well, kinda....

The UPS guy came early and my wife and I weren't home. So we were going to have to wait til MONDAY to get it! :eek:

So we called around and go the run-around from UPS. It looked like were were just going to have to wait.

Sara and I left to go back to work and I got a call from Sara saying she spotted the UPS guy and flagged him down! She got him to give her our kit and we can't wait to go home and dig in!!!

We're so excited! And all it took was stalking the UPS guy.....oh the simple joys in life.....:)

I totally understand this!! My UPS man leaves packages on my doorstep too, which is awesome when I am not home and expecting something (always on a Friday too!) but I have had things damaged because duh---this is ALASKA!! I had a UPS guy put a box of paperwork in about 10 inches of snow on my unshoveled porch and everything in the box was soaking wet!
 
yeah, i dont really have that problem here in Florida. But the torrential afternoon summer rains are a problem. It is almost EVERY afternoon in hurricane season that we get down pours!
 
My UPS man (unless there's a sub) leaves it in the garage, and leaves one of those notes on my back door (can't park in front during the weekdays), or if hubby comes home at lunch he leaves the back door unlocked and I have tripped over boxes coming in the back door plenty of times. But the subs are another story, like I just put above we can't park out front during the weekdays so we don't use the front door at all But barely open it to check get the mail, I was waiting on an order one day and waiting and waiting, then I looked it up and it said delivered, so I went and looked in the garage, nothing, searched back porch, nothing, and went out the front door, and there it was, ughh, that UPS man doesn't need to take any time off, lol.
 
Yeah My UPS guy leaves the stuff on my porch. I usually put a note on the door just in case to make sure they do leave it like on the porch swing or something that way if it raining so it doesn't get rained on. Well I get to stalk the UPS guy Wednesday. My sample products will be here! YaY!! I'm so excited. I'll be sitting on the front porch in my porch swing waiting for him to show up. LOL :)
