Bless Your Heart

Why does the US postal service hate me? I send lots of mail. I buy stamps. I do my best to keep them in business. And yet… Almost two weeks before Rachel and Brian visited I sent them a way cool package with tons of fun things to keep them entertained on the road. J said he’d mail it for me and to this day it still hasn’t reached them. I’m so mad. I spent time & money on that package and who knows where it is!

Example #2 of why the post office hates me: On Oct. 15th I dropped a card in the mail to my friend Stacey who lives 20 minutes down the road. On Friday, the 25th (!!) I get an email from her that she just got it that day. I could have crawled to her house with the card and it would have gotten there faster!

Example #3: J & I sent out our wedding invites in late January and got married March 3. My uncle Bobby never RSVP’d and I was worried because he has a big family, and you know, you want to make sure you have enough seating, food, etc. So one day in September I check the mail to find the following: Uncle Bobby’s RSVP and a gift check postmarked in February, J’s W2 that was mailed in January, a letter from my great aunt Margaret dated in May, and various other items all postmarked waaaay before that fateful day in September.

Postal Service, if we have in any way upset or offended you, we’re very sorry. Do you keep our mail in a special box and deliver it only when the mood strikes you? I swear Postal Service, we rarely if ever use UPS and Fed Ex. (but let me tell you, we will now) I know I said I don’t like the song “Fly like an Eagle” when you chose that as your theme song. But please Postal Service, don’t let that come between us.
