A mysterious package

Earlier I said I had a funny story to tell. Well - it started on Wednesday when I got home. I have the group I go to right from work so was late when I got home. There was a note from Fed Ex that there was a parcel, but since there was no one to sign for it, they would try and deliver it the next day. It was too late to call them and on Thursday night I had the writing class right after work. But sure enough when I got home Thursday night there was another notice from them. And they also said they would try the next day. Well, again I work so no one was home. I thought I had taken the notice to work with me to call them, but when I looked in my purse it wasn't there. I did call anyway, but they couldn't track my parcel without the tracking number. When I got home on Friday, there was a voice mail saying they had tried to deliver the package but no one was home (like I knew that) They said I could pick it up between the hours of 7 and 7. By this time it was almost 7. I had stopped a book stores before I went home.
So I planned on picking it up before I left for Cindy's on Saturday. The drop off isn't far from where I live.
I "thought" I knew what might be in the package so while I was curious, I wasn't burning up with it or anything.
So off I went to the depot and got the package. I was then on my way to Cindy's. We are talking highway here. The highway I happen to drive a leeetle bit faster than the posted speed limit. I happened to glance at the package sitting on the seat next to me (very briefly of course because I was going a leeeeetle faster than the speed limit) and caught the name Lisa Kleypas.
Well - Holy Shit! That's not what I thought it was!! So what do I do now I thought? I'm barreling down the highway, and I can't open it. It's a busy highway and all and there is a lot of traffic on the highway. Do I pull over? And then I thought it would be fun to share my excitement with a fellow romance reader.
I drove faster. That's what I did. While I normally drive about 20 kilometers over the speed limit (as do most people - really they do). Now I was driving 30 and at times 40 kilo's over. And no one passed me, let me tell you!
I got to Cindy's, package in hand all ready to run up to her door. I had to take a couple of minutes to untangle from the M3p player I'd been listening too (I tend to drive faster on the fast songs and there were a lot of them) and was all set to run and open. But her sidewalk was slippery. So I had to duck toe it up to her front door *g*. Of course as soon as I got my coat off, we headed to her kitchen so I could open the package and........

SQUUWHHHEEEEEEE

You will of course notice the little autographed stamp on the top left hand corner. So now I have my very own autographed copy to hug and to squeeze, very gently of course.

So - a hearty shout out and thank you to Lisa Kleypas for sending me this one. Cindy was almost as excited as I was.

'til later
