Do you know what this is?

This is a very bad mail day. It was last week-remember I had sick kids home ALL week and couldn't leave the house. Practically my only contact with the outside world was my computer and the mail man. Everyday I waited, excited to see what he would bring me and then he had the NERVE to drop this through my mail slot. Come on!! He couldn't throw me a bone? Even a Pottery barn catalogue would have brightened my day.

This is a very good mail day. The mail man must have felt bad because the next day he showed up with two packages and a Canadian Style at Home magazine. (Sad, but true, I also subscribe to Canadian home magazines) Do you want to see what was inside?

First from my very generous mother-in-law:

Don't you love when the store wrap things up like a little present.
It just brought me joy.

Adorable! A seersucker bathing suit and jon-jon with
turtles for Butterball.

Secondly, from a fabulous ebay seller....

My Boots!!! Yes! The boots from the anniversary dilemma post. Aren't they the best? You know, with ebay it's a gamble, you never know exactly what you are going to get. Before I opened the box I said a little prayer to the shoe Gods "please, just let them be decent, and fit, and not smell bad." All my prayers were answered and more! They are better than I had hoped. Today I am a very happy and grateful girl!! (PS, if you go back to the post from Warsaw where I am standing with the metal shelving unit, I am wearing them-March 17)

I hope you had a very good mail day today!!
