i heart mail.

i've been doing all of my christmas shopping so far this year on etsy... due to the bean's unwillingness to shop. period. i will hit a bunch of my favorite stores in hampden one afternoon, where i typically do the majority of my shopping, but for the most part, christmas this year is coming through the mail.

every day when the mail person, or ups person, even drives past our house, pippi - our fierce dachshund warrior - goes crazy barking. this causes the bean to start shrieking in excitement and running around the living room, hoping that maybe it's a package from her grandma in cincinnati. (packages = candy) even i am a little disappointed when the delivery truck drives by without stopping.

anyway, the problem is is that i may have issues that harken back to pen pal days, when i couldn't wait to get the mail. i'm sure that i will feel some sort of loss after the packages stop coming... either that or i will have developed an even bigger etsy habit than i have now. hmm, i wonder what will come in the mail today?
