Good mail, going, going.... GONE!

Would one believe that I have NEVER gone back and read my own blog like a book? I have gone back to look for certain posts but never just sat down what I did in February of 2006. I wonder if I did if I would find the months, in my few years of blogging, where I spent most of them flat as a pancake. Probably not since I never write about it. So, in case I ever go back to read this, right now I am flat as a pancake. I am down for the count. There are times when I don't feel fibromyalgia, which lucky for me is most of my year. But there are times I do. Right now I do. I don't feel like leaving the house. I don't feel like blogging. Talking on the phone, definitely not answering the phone. Life can not just stop for me but it does slow down a bit. If I go back and read this next year during this time I can remember, yes you have felt like this before and yes, you will feel better again.
ok now to some fun stuff.

(sampling of the cards I passed out)

I got a new visiting teaching route and I am beyond excited. Me and one of the oldest gals in the ward are partners. We also teach an older crowd which is good, because I need all the wisdom i can get. So Tuesday was one of my gals birthday. There is a good chance that in her situation she may not have received on piece of birthday mail. So I went to Sam's Club (Costco also has these from time to time)
and bought the sampler box of cards. They are really quite awesome. For $14.00 I came home with a loot of cards.
I used 11 of the birthday cards and put Happy Birthday stamps on all of them. (note more postage was added as these are $.39 stamps)

then made some fun and bright labels with her name and address and put them on the envelopes. I then wrote up a little letter and paper clipped it to each stamped envelope and card.

On Tuesday, March 4th, is Susie Sweetheart's birthday.

Take a minute to write her a birthday wish. Feel free to share with her your favorite scripture, quote or something special that you love about her.

If you don't know her than it will be even more exciting for her to get a birthday card from you.

Don’t forget to put it in the mail by tomorrow so she will get it on Tuesday.

Thanks.

Susie's visiting Teachers

I then passed them out to different people at church, including one to the young women's to have them all sign it. So her mailbox would be filled for her birthday. Oh I am so excited to say to her on Sunday, "So did you get anything fun for your birthday?"

This was my outgoing mail today and it felt so good to get this all out.(about 30 total) I am finally getting on top of my birthday thank yous and actually had cards printed to explain my tardiness. I will post them after they have a few days to disperse. In my library books on the art of the handwritten note it advised against making up excuses for why your thank you is late and just say thank you. I also sent out a box of waffles and Golden grahams (full of ribbon) along with a large envelope that is on it's third good mailing and has notes all over the back that my husband made one night about one of his patients- i hope the recipient does not mind and may keep the envelope going.

I also took some photos of the girls world these days.

today the dog got a bath

and the new paw licking kitty cat guarded the store where nothing was being sold.
