More Little Things....

Just a quick note on the little things that get me all a-twitter. For example, having our own mailbox is just ecstasy. For the first time ever, I can put outgoing mail in our very own mailbox! All of my previous residences, from college onwards, have been in multi-family dwellings and I had to always go find a post office box somewhere in order to send mail.

Overseas, of course, we had to go to the APO on whatever base we were at. Mailing stuff always seemed like a chore. And I'd forget a lot. Sometimes I'd carry the letters or bills in my purse for days.

But now, today for example, I had two envelopes to get in Monday's mail. So what did I do? I sauntered out into the street and plopped them in our very own mailbox on its very own pole. Put up the little red flag. Yeppereee-roonie. AND one of them was a DVD in a padded envelope AND I didn't have to go somewhere and fill out a customs form.

Yes, I'm sure many of you, gentle readers, are looking at this with a blank stare. Eva's sniffed too much pool chlorine, you're thinking. No, just basking in the normal everyday American life...
