Wool and the Postal Blues

I had a lucky thriftshop find this week! Two boxes of wool yarn!



It's mostly fingering weight, and so soft! I will definitely find good uses for it! I also found a bat Halloween costume for Joshua and several Isaac Asimov Robot books....gotta love 'em!

Speaking of books, I have started a reading/book review blog at www.bookstothesky.blogspot.com. I am challenging myself to read more, and watch television LESS! I went to the library this week and checked out some "cozy'' mystery books to fuel my efforts. :)

Joshie wanted me to take his picture tonight. Usually he hides his face, but today he brought me the camera and posed for me. lol. So....here's his picture:



That's his innocent look that he usually gets right before he gets into something, spills his drink or breaks something. :) Gotta love toddlers. :)

I have a big case of the Postal Blues this week. Today I got my 2nd shredded piece of mail in a week. Came in a nice envelope with an "ooops'' message on it. Last time, the letter came in a plastic baggie with just a little sticker that said "Damaged in processing.'' This time, I got a big white envelope with a long drawn out apology.



Sigh. And I have two boxes floating around no-where land in the post. One package to the UK is now a month overdue. And a priority package is floating around between here and Kentucky somewhere....delivery confirmation # just says I mailed it from here. It was never scanned again once I shipped the box. GRRRR. I knew I should have sent it UPS....from now on, I'm going to do just that with big swap packages. I'm praying the box hasn't been lost. *Crossing fingers* The postal clerks here are great, and they are trying to trace the boxes for me. Makes me really nervous, as I have a package on its way to Australia and a letter heading to New Zealand, not to mention 5 foreign postcards in the mail right now, plus packages I'm waiting on from Australia and the UK.

Anyone else having difficulties with the post right now besides me??
