Yesterday as I was returning home form work I checked the mailbox in anticipation for a bundle of Postal Letterboxes. It has been a couple weeks since we had received any and we are currently in 7 active rings. Disappointed to find absolutely no mail at all (which is almost unheard of for us) I trudged my way through the side door. The whole house was sad to see my hand/arms empty upon my return. But we carried on with our usual routine with hope for tomorrows mail.

This morning (6am) I opened the front door to retrieve the paper. As I stepped out on the porch I tripped and nearly did a face plant into the bricks that make up our lovely porch and steps. Cursing I looked down and let out a shriek. There at my feet was a HUGE bundle of mail with 5 PLB's rubberbanded together! OH JOY! WOO HOO!! YAY!!! I did a little dance. My day was going to be bright and shiny! I scooped up the bundle and went inside.

I threw the boring mail aside without a glance and grabbed the scissors to delicately cut open the padded envelopes. Oh what bliss! 5 new stamp and logbooks to play with, but I still had to cook breakfast and get ready for work. (OH! If only I were born rich instead of beautiful so I didn't have to work and could letterbox all day! LOL! Just Kidding) So I set the packages aside so I could have something to look forward to after work.

I got ready and was backing out of the driveway when I glanced at the front porch. There in a rain soaked bag lay the newspaper. In all the PLB glory I had completely forgotten to bring it inside! Hah! Isn't it funny how letterboxing can take over your life? We LOVE it!

Have a wonderful day!

That's too funny! I bet you're looking forward to getting home and perusing the stack of postals you have waiting. Doesn't that just drive you crazy?! LOL

Must...letterbox! *GRIN*
