Here’s my embarrassing secret…I looooooooove getting the mail every day. You should see the depressive state that ensues on Sunday when I remember that no mail will be coming. It is such a silly little joy in my day that I can’t wait to see the surprise that will be put in my mailbox every afternoon. Sadly though it doesn’t happen until the end of the day. In fact, as I write this, I am sitting here rather pathetically at 6pm, waiting until the mailman arrives. Why does he have to get here so late? I wonder if I made an anonymous tip they would move his schedule/routine to cover my street first. Heehee. Speaking of mail, have you ever heard of Birchbox? I just signed up this past month and got my first box of goodies a couple weeks ago. Only $10 a month. So fabulous.

Let Me Tell You A Poem

Here’s a fun activity for you.

Tell someone you wrote a poem for them and then say the lyrics of a song to them as if you wrote an incredibly original poem just for them.

For example, here’s a “poem” I wrote for you:

“And the sun is shinin’
This road keeps windin’
Through the prettiest country
From Georgia to Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me
My troubles behind me
I’m alive and I’m free
Who wouldn’t wanna be me”

Aren’t I such a poet? 😉

(I’d like to thank Keith Urban for those lyrics.)

Do you have a poem for me?

I love my middle name. In fact, I love it so much (combined with the fact that NO ONE can pronounce my first name) that when I go to restaurants and they ask for my name, I tell them it’s Annie (my middle name is Anne, but I love Annie as a first name…and don’t you think I look like an Annie?). I also love to know people’s middle names. I am a middle-name-knowing-hoarder. I can’t stand when people don’t have middle names. It’s like life has not been fair to them and dealt them the short stick. I say, if your parents did not take the time to bless you with a middle name, then make one up! Or I’ll make it up for you…because we all know how much I love to name things. 😉
