Sorry! My internet crapped out, so I went out for dinner. When I got back, all was well. All emails have been sent. Sorry again for the delay!

First to mail, bitches! Woot!

Sorry. Got carried away a bit. But my package is on its way to the vast unknown that is fly-over country.

Wish I was as on top of things as you are! I am going to try to send mine this week, alas, without a certain drink mix made in my hometown (won’t be getting down there for 2 weeks).

Oh well, off to find the right glass in my new town after work!

Google Earth has informed me my items will be travelling 2,427.58 miles (if they go in a straight line).

Mapquest says it’s 3032.76 miles if I deliver it personally.

Think I’ll let Mr Postman do it for me !

I hear you. The shot glass I sent off is from my favorite minor league team, but I forgot to say that. So I had to stuff a page of info under the top flap of the box and re-seal it before I sent it off, lest the recipient look at the glass and go WTF??

Headed out the door to post my goodies, winging their way across the sea. Hope they don’t fall out the back of the plane :eek:

Hope whomever gets mine has a sense of adventure and a sweet tooth … =)

Bought and sent today.

I found the BEST card to go with it…I’m almost more excited for that than I am the actual shot glass…

Got the card (it was funny) and the shot glass.

Funnier than Hell, my wife is from Alexandria so we have Ball State hats and blankets but no BSU shot glass. We move to Colorado and now we have a Cardinals glass.

Thank you so much!

My glass will go out Monday.

Oh good I’m glad it made it ok! I guess getting the glass of something you already know and kinda have takes away from some of the novelty, but I’m glad you guys enjoy it.  
Speaking of funny coincidences I got my glass today and it’s from the state I was born in, a place I’ve never seen, by an architect my whole family idolizes!

I got a beautiful “the house in the rocks” glass from my homeland of Wisconsin. My grandfather is an architect and modeled himself after Frank Lloyd Wright, just as the architect for the house did…so growing up I read all about the house and knew about it…but never went there or got anything from it.

So for the mystery person who sent it (there was just a name, no username…) thanks so much!!

Got mine all packed this afternoon and ready to be shipped out in the morning.

There’s a few other things in the box for unwrapping enjoyment.

This is exciting!
