I need a vacation

Yesterday, I noticed I was almost out of protein powder. I make a smoothie every morning to take to work with me and my girls generally have one every day, too, so the shit goes fast in my house. So, with school starting, I knew I needed to get more. But, since I'm too damn lazy to go to GNC and get it myself, I ordered from Amazon.
I'm also mildly amused that it was cheaper through Amazon than through Quest itself, even though it's sold BY Quest on Amazon. But I digress.
Anyway, Amazon shows up at the office and I'm suddenly confused. I've been trying to ship everything to the house because, on the off chance my boss gets a hold of a box before I do, he opens it without looking at the label. Not that I'm ordering anything sketchy but still. I figure maybe I didn't choose the right address and take the box upstairs. I open it, see the container and confirm it's my protein powder. I go to delete the email with the tracking info and see that the picture has a blue label (I bought cookies & cream because I'm an ADULT) and the one on the container in my possession is green.
Color me completely confused.
The protein powder I received is cold brew coffee latte and not cookies and cream. So, my question is this: WHO THE HELL SENT ME PROTEIN POWDER? TO MY OFFICE NO LESS. I think I know who it was but I am sitting here, scratching my head, wondering what the hell is going on in my life.
Note: I did confirm who sent it to me. When I first saw that Quest even made a coffee flavored protein powder, my boss told me I was not allowed to have it because, "You'd be on the ceiling, Amy." Well, I joked about this on Facebook and now I have a 2 lb container of caffeine to go. Hahaha.
Some of my friends are absolute pains in the ass, but I have a few good ones, too. Even if they're trying to make me think I've lost my mind.

Date: 2018-08-23 04:21 am (UTC)Having kids meant all our resources were spent on providing to their needs once we married, so Hawaii in 2016 was the first time we'd been out of the country since 1995, and now we have things a little more comfortable, we are determined to do a bit more travel while we still can. I will be happy if we can do the UK and some of Europe around 2020 (about 6 weeks with luck) and then my other dream is Peru (Macchu Pichu and the Nazca Lines) after that when we can save enough, and then I will be happy to stay in NZ and travel around here a bit more when we can (we've seen a fair bit now; really only have the bottom half of the South Island to check out that we haven't done), if we don't go on any further overseas trips! I would just travel and travel if I could afford it, though!!!

My boss actually has a time share in Peru. His um... *roommate* is from Peru originally, so they visit a couple times a year. He likes it because it's out of the country but still in the Eastern Time Zone which is only a three hour time difference from where we are. I do hope you get to go to Europe and the UK though!

Date: 2018-08-23 09:13 pm (UTC)Yeah, the US and Canada do have so much to see - thankfully I was lucky enough to live in both for a short part of my travels, so I got to see a fair bit of East Coast US, and I travelled right across Canada by train (although the furtherest north I got was New Brunswick), but there's still so much more I would go see if I could! And I'd very much like to see some of Mexico too, so who knows, maybe I can tack that onto the Peru trip!!!
I love how you describe the *roommate*! Haha, we all know what that means. Good on him visiting Peru a lot! I love ancient civilisations and the evidence left of them, hence my great interest in Peru, but really, I'd love to see ALL of Central and South America for that history... but I know I'll just have to make do with a small portion of it, because it'd cost too much to do a lot more. *sigh*
