"you've got mail, those are very powerful words" - Joe Fox, You've Got Mail

Today was kind of a boring and lousy day. I didn't do too much before heading out to work, and it was kind of disappointing.So I went off to work feeling kinda down about today, but the day finished off quite nicely after that.
When my mom picked me up from work she and my brother and sisters had gotten Wendy's, so my mom took me back and I enjoyed a lovely crispy chicken go wrap, with some fries. It was delicious! I haven't had fast food in months and thought that I would hate it when I did, but I loved it!Then when I got home, I had a big box of fun waiting for me on my bed! Everybody loves getting mail right? (even if I already know what's in the box) and while the actual package wasn't SUPER exciting, the opening of it was delightful! All that this box contained was a bunch of stuff that was packed in my suitcases, coming home from calgary, that made them over weight. When my good friend Eric drove me to the airport, at 5 in the morning the day I came home, my suitcases were each about 10 pounds overweight. So about 15 minutes before my flight left we sat on the floor of the Calgary airport and pulled out random things that I didn't think I would need for a while.
Truth me told though, I haven't really missed most of the stuff we took out at all. But there are a few things that I am very grateful to him for returning to me:
(1) My sweet pea lotion.The day before I left Calgary I went shopping and bought myself nice new Bath and Body Works lotion. I love this lotion, but I accidently packed in my carry on for my flight, forgetting that I have a max of 100 ml of gels or liquids to bring on the plane. So I had to leave it behind.
(2) My bright green hoodie. When Michelle came to visit me in Calgary, we went on a road trip with our guy friends. In an effort to embarass them intensly, we bought matching bright green sweatshirts and hot pink sweatpants to wear around them! They were so precious and we loved them, but it weighs a ton. So at the airport it was lying on top and it was too heavy to take home. So I had to leave it behind.
(3) My graduation ring. When I graduated high school my grandma bought me a ring and I haven't taken it off my hand since. When I was packing up my room it got bent and I took it off for a bit. I accidently left it lying on the floor. So it got left behind.
But now, thanks to Eric, I've got all these precious things back in my possession! And I got them in a big box with my name on it, that I got to rip open tonight! Don't you just love getting mail?

  1. Mail rocks. I got Canadian chocolate in the mail last week and nearly died and went to heaven. I am still here and alive but the chocolate is suffering by the day... :)
