waiting for mail :-(

I loooove getting packages in the mail! Probably to a fault. I do a lot of online shopping, so many days out of the month I'm usually expecting something in the mail. It drives Jeff nuts when he gets the mail a few days in a row and on each day is bringing in a new package. I usually try to get to it before he does (not to keep the packages a secret--trust me, I tell him about them! He just doesn't get as fussy, as long as I discover the package first!) and am very disapointed when he beats me to the box. It's pretty pathetic and embarrassing admitting that one of the highlights of my day is: getting the mail.

I can't think of many things more joyous than opening the mail box and seeing one of those beautiful little yellow packages--or for bigger items, a white package!! nestled inside with MY NAME on them! What's even better than those little yellow or white envelopes is when you open the door and a little BOX is sitting on the porch, too big to fit inside the mailbox. Ahhh! I love getting packages in the mail. :-}

With all that said, there is nothing I hate more than WAITING for a package to arrive!!!!!! Arrrg! It's like torture!! Obviously, my posting this goes to show that I must be waiting for a package to arrive. If you've come to that conclusion on your own...then yes, you are right.

I ordered something *super exciting off of Etsy about 3 weeks ago. Every day for 3 weeks now I've rushed to the mailbox just waiting for my prize to arrive. And every day for 3 weeks...it hasn't come. I emailed the gal last week and when she finally wrote back she had a sorry little story about a death in the family. ha! Likely story. She assured me her packages would be going out in the mail that very day. That was a week ago. :-( And it still isn't here.

*I can't say what it is yet! Its a surprise for Jeff!!! I'll share pictures and a story once it finally arrives...IF it finally arrives. >:-(

Maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day. *Fingers crossed!*
