Secret Agent

Well, I have been found out...there is no reason to hide it any longer....I am a secret agent trying to smuggle in goodies from other countries. At least that is what I felt like!!! lol Saturday morning I received a call from the International UPS Custom's Office. The message on my answering machine was a number to call regarding the shipment that I was having delivered from Great Britain. Until I called to discuss what I had purchased, my order was going to be held and not allowed to enter the country or clear customs. Now mind you.....my first thought was "what the dilly are they talking about? An order from Great Britain??????" So, as I began to think back about what I could have possibly ordered from there, I realized that the little specialty gifts that I ordered for my "Pay It Forward" must be coming from Great Britain. I had NO IDEA I had made any type of order from out of the country. I just ordered some cute little things and I thought I was good! lol So.....I place my call and I give them the tracking number that they left me on my machine. She pulled up my order.......so again, I'm thinking if you can pull up my order and see everything that I purchased, why the heck do I need to be calling you????? I explained that I didn't even realize that I had ordered from Great Britain, explained what most of the items were....(there were 48....I bought a few things for Sophia and wanted extra gifts on hand) and asked her if there was a problem. She said "No, but any time these sort of "items" come through they have to be questioned." These sort of items??????....Sheesh..... And here I was just trying to be a good doobie, sending out a little gift that I thought expressed a little about me. She told me I should expect my order by Tuesday.....and sure enough, the box was at my door that day. Well.....some items had to be "pre-ordered" and there are a few more items I would like..... so I guess they will be calling me again....just to make sure I'm not a Secret Agent! ;) Now, the only one I do not have an address for is Saskia. If you are reading this....I need it......I couldn't get to your blog......now......no one ask me what I ordered....because if I tell you, I'll have to kill ya! Plain and simple! ;) Unless of course there is anyone that wants to do a fun little summer swapy swap! Let me know.....and if you need to find me.....just call the International UPS Office......tell them you are looking for Secret Agent SteffieB that drives a Mama Machine and has 3 Things that are her look outs! ;) And if you don't hear from me in the next 24 hours, don't worry, I may be out on a mission!
