LOL...ok, so I have another (actually great!) update on the story of the traveling apron
My post office lady was very aware of all the crazy routes this package took for over 11 weeks (because I, of course, made sure they all knew I was bent outa shape) so last week when I was in there mailing she asked me about it & I told her it'd finally come back. She asked if I still had the box & I did. She gave me a refund today
wooohoooo! There's a GOOD post office story ending for a change.
