The Box by laurentye

The Box

If I were still doing my "things that are awesome" series, this would definitely be titled "Things That are Awesome: Getting Fun Mail!"

I was so excited when I checked my mailbox today and instead of the usual boring bills, and advertisements, etc. this box was sticking out with my name on it. So of course I had to quickly take a picture before I ruined the tidy packaging with my enthusiastic box opening (*note: packaging tape is very hard to get through- next time I should use a knife or scissors to help).

Having a very good weekend so far!
It is always nice to receive something besides bills, junk mail, and asking for donations.

How are you feeling? We should send each other photos...I still go to the mail box every day hoping there will be something good in there!!

@mngirl thanks for asking, I'm feeling much better, and I totally know what you mean. once i became an adult, it's mostly boring things in the mail, lol.

Yes indeed, getting a box in the mail is still one of the simple joys in life. It never gets old! Hope what was in the package was just as fun as getting the package :)
