I Love Me My Mail
Woman in the Middle | October 10, 2012Monday was Columbus Day, the holiday that gets no respect! Government offices are closed but kids still go to school. But the worst part of it? No mail delivery!!! I love the mail! I have loved getting mail ever since I was a kid and, because my mother worked, I was always the first person with an opportunity to grab the mail in my house. I would always stop by that magical little box on my way in from school. Oh the delights that would come on the mail! magazines, letters from my mother’s sisters who lived so far away, sometimes something with a little surprise in it like an ad for a children’s magazine that included stickers. Oh boy!
I still love the mail. The day my Vanity Fair magazine comes is one of the happiest days of the month! Last Saturday was a pretty good mail day. A t-shirt I ordered came as well as two small checks that reminded me that I am a contributor to the household finances, at least in a small way.
Call me old-fashioned, but between the newspaper being thrown in my driveway every morning and the mail coming every afternoon, even the worst day is full of the anticipation of the unknown. Yep, I love me my mail!
