A conversation with me, myself, and I.

Hello fellow penpallers! How is everyone today?..... Oh yeah? Tell me more..... WOW! That's amazing! What did you do?.... YOWZA! That's so exciting! Okay, I apologize but I have to interrupt you there because I have to move on with the blog post show. Let's catch up more later, okay?

Did you see what we did there? WE JUST HAD A CONVERSATION. WHOA. In the immortal words of Bill and Ted: that was bodacious.

However, I've just come to the realization that I am totally my mother's daughter. Mostly because my mom regularly has conversations with my voice mail. Observe:

"Laura? This is your mom. How are you? [short pause] I am fine. Do you miss me? [longer pause] I miss you too. Bye bye!" 

I'm always confused as to whether I should call her back because technically she just had a conversation with some facsimile of me. And frankly, my voicemail covers most of the pertinent details of a valid conversation—it's a hyper advanced voicemail that way. This is how robots take over the world: they start with voicemail.

So....what do you want to talk about now?

Incoming:


Lots of awesome incoming Holiday mail this week! I'm totally Grinch-y around this time of year, so all this Christmas mail makes my heart grow three sizes.

A surprise package of goodies from Cheryl, my favourite person in all of Scotland

A card from Lisa, my pal in Denmark

The cutest card from Mary

Rudolph and Santa walk into a bar....it's a letter from Jennifer!!

More Mail from Mary (no Magic Mushrooms though). I absolutely love the robot sticker at the top.

Santa in a card from Miki

Outgoing:


Snail mail (literally!) for Jessica

Up, up, up and away to Sukie!

Some immaculately dressed penguins for Nicole

And that's it from me! Have a great week snail mailers!

  1. How sad that you didn't receive anything from me! When I send you something on Tuesday it's usually posted on your blog by Friday... But I sent you something on Tuesday and THERE'S NOTHING HERE! Mail is so slow in December... Booh!

  4. Ohh, the postmark "Santa HoHoHo Père Noël" on Jennifer's letter is so fun! I wonder if we have special postmarks for Christmas in France. But well, I will never know, as I don't see my letters once they're marked :P

    1. Thanks! I like penguins on a normal day, but when they're dressed up in red coats... well, that's just double special, isn't it? :)

  6. I imagine your mother must have a hard time imagining "What if she doesn't reply the way she's supposed to? All my recording will go wrong!".
    Lovely Christmas incoming. :D

    1. Thanks Penny! You know, I never thought of it that way! She probably talks to my voicemail because my voicemail doesn't say smart-assed things back. Hee!

  7. Hahaha, I have the feeling that you inherited your coolness from your mom! ;P

    Have a wonderful week, Laura! ;D
