I've no idea WHY I sniffed it . . . but I did. It doesn't smell like anything other than a box.

Santa's Lil Miss has sent her package and I received it today!! Thank you so much for taking the time to send a Christmas box to me. I'm sure I will love everything in it but now the hard part starts...wait, wait, wait!!! And thank you so much for your note on the box to let me know about my allergies "No lil elf kitties here"...much appreciated Lil Miss. Your package arrived in very good condition, not one little hole in the side or corner, darn! not even a piece of tape was loose. What's wrong with that post office? Thank you again, can hardly wait to open and share with everyone what you sent to me.

could work on their computer and of course they KNEW I was going
to be gone.
My SS box was sitting on my desk, so Carrie (my sil) asked my hubs
what was in the box. The conversation went something like this:
Hubs - oh that is her secret santa gift.
Carrie - well she must not be to interested in it since she hasn't even
opened it yet.
Hubs - Oh she is VERY interested and it is killing her to have to wait.
Carrie - why does she have to wait?
Hubs - Because that is part of the swap fun when there is a "scheduled"
opening day so everyone can have fun at the same time.
Carrie - well that is just dumb.
My hubs and Mel (my brother), went outside to look at something on
hubs Jeep. Than they left.
When I got home about 4pm I sat down at my desk and noticed my SS
box was not there. I asked hubs what he did with it. he said nothing it is
on my desk. Then he walks over and said well it was there.
After much searching I found the box under my desk and it had been
OPENED but the flaps folded/tucked. To say I was VERY mad would be
a major understatement.
I called her today and told her that if she can't RESPECT my privacy and
a SEALED box with MY name on it that I didn't want her coming to my home
anymore.
Later I get a call from my brother wanting to know what my major malfuction
was with Carrie. When I told him what happened to my SS box he was not a
happy person with his wife.
She used to not be like that. Don't know what her problem is but I may not
forgive her for a long time.
I DO want to let my SS know that I did not look in the box, but handed it to
hubs and asked him to tape it back up and HIDE it for me. Since it is obvious
that it is not same on my desk.

Mine has something that shifts, when I move it from side to side. It sounds like something kinda heavy . . . or maybe just solid.

Thinking it over, I believe Phoebe was telepathically telling me to sniff that box, since she couldn't reach it. That must be what happened. Honestly, I don't ordinarily sniff things . . . except bags of potatoes. . . and that's to detect whether or not there are any bad ones, in the bag. Of course, I do sniff scented candles and stuff like that . . . but I think that's the first time I've ever sniffed a piece of mail. 
An even bigger puzzle, is why I admitted it! Maybe it's all a side-effect of the flu shot, I'd just gotten. Has anyone else had that reaction, to a flu shot? I was also really hungry, when I got home and found it. Maybe that had something to do with it. Possibly?
