Well, if it's not postage rate increases, it's budget shortfalls and potential shutdowns of local offices.
This makes me sad.
Remember when that was the only - I mean ONLY - way to communicate with friends, family, utility companies, catalogs, medical offices, etc etc etc?? {Ok, maybe we had phones to do SOME of that, but still...}
I. LOVE. MAIL.
I love opening cards. I love sending cards. I love checking the mailbox. I love the idea of a piece of mail traveling slowly across the interstates, highways, city streets, and cul-de-sacs to get to its final destination. And a stamp makes all that happen! Brilliant.
I got a beautiful wedding invitation in the mail a few weeks ago and could. not. wait. to return the RSVP!
I wish people sent cards for more than just Christmas, birthdays, and weddings. {And NO, Hallmark did NOT pay me to say such things.}
And I'm one of those nerds that enjoys looking at the latest stamp designs and trying to make up a reason to send something just so I can happily place stamp on an envelope.
I guess I'm old school or nostalgic or something, but paper, cards, stationery, invitations, are just so fun, unique, and personal in comparison to their electronic counterparts.
I wish I had more time to be able to send a card for every ocassion, big or small, in people's lives. That's the tricky part for me. Finding time.
And because who doesn't love football - less than ONE month until the Sooners take the field for their season opener! The suspense is killing me {kinda like the heat.} And, to go back to our previous topic, can't wait to see this year's ticket design. Boomer!
This one is for my sister, who loves feet... {and for those that wondered how blue nail polish would look on one's toes.} I like how it looks, but it's time for a change.
