my favourite things
at 10am this morning, i was rudely awakened by the doorbell. so i decided to ignore it. anyone trying to wake me up before 11am deserves to be ignored, or face being haaaa-ed with my bad morning-breath.
and when i finally decided to open the door sometime in the afternoon, lo and behold! it had "brown paper packages tied up with string" was handwritten on this! i really dig snailmail. i've said it before and here i am saying it again. thanks, ms tyh. it made my day. and easter weekend! and entire week ahead! :) i was so chuffed to find this hanging on my doorknob!
i think i remember this story ms tyh had to tell the entire class as part of some english lesson back in primary 3. postman pat's busy day. and it made me seriously (and secretly) consider a career as a postgirl. plus, they get to ride cool old-school vespas. a very romantic notion. still very much so.
whoever came up with the idea of snailmail ought to be awarded, posthumously, of course, a nobel prize. nothing like surprise snailmail from an old friend to give that warm fuzzy feeling. if everyone received a surprise parcel once in awhile, maybe less wars would be taking place. or maybe nobody likes bush/osama enough. and whoever it is that's involved. that's why all they got was anthrax. :\
