Well Hello There

Hello my fellow mail lovers and blog readers, long time no write :-)

I know you all are a forgiving bunch, but I wanted to let you know I am alive and getting into the routine of working every day!  I got back from Colorado Springs on the 9th, then worked my second week at my new big-girl job.

Yesterday I made a cake, then I helped a neighbor make a cake and I spent the rest of the night working on some maps.

Today, I cleaned my room and did laundry.  Can I ask you all, when the heck do people who work for a living have time to do laundry??  Sheesh.

Anyway, my point is, part of cleaning my room was gathering all of the wonderful, beautiful mail I've received over the last several weeks that I have yet to reply to or post about.  I'm going to need to get a system and a routine down, but I will get back to each and every one of you.  I'll also send out some postcards I bought in Colorado and Acadia National Park.  And one luck pen-pal will be getting one of these.  I found them at a great postal shop in Colorado Springs.  I mailed two to my littlest pen friends and I bought a third for myself.

Also, I want to say that I am frustrated with the Postal Service.  Remember my adventures in mailing plates?  Well, I got to my Aunts house and I asked her about the green plate I sent her.  She never received it.  I mailed four other ones and they all arrived to different locations in Rhode Island.  I mailed one to Colorado Springs, with a return address, and it never made it and it never came back to me.  I am sad about it.  That was a cheap plate with a beautiful, heartfelt letter on it.

Anyway, I thank you all for your patience, for making sure there was mail for me when I got back from my vacation, and for your good thoughts.  I know we barely know one another, but I know you all are as happy I got a job as I am.
