Finding the humor in my life's experiences.My Mesmerizing Mailbox 11-11-09

My family does not understand the enchantment I have with my mailbox. When I see the mail truck driving up the street, my family claims that I act as if the "prize patrol" was making its way to my door. They even taunt me with dares to leave the mail in the box for an extended period after its delivery.
I confess that the attraction I have to my mailbox is a bit odd, but each day it draws me like a hefty magnet would the tinniest grain of steel. Even on holidays, I cannot help but sneak a peek just in case I missed the news that the government has joined much of corporate America in robbing the workforce of their holidays.
Like a dishonest friend, at times my mailbox does let me down--like the time I received my homeowner's bill right after Hurricane Katrina. More often than not, however, my mailbox brings out the sun even on the most gloomy of days. The coupons and rebates it regularly delivers to my door may not be as big and fat as that "prize patrol" check, but pennies do eventually make dollars and dollars make me happy.
My family thinks I am strange now, I'd like them to see the display I would put on for the "prize patrol" if ever they do decide to visit.

You're blog made me smile. Thanks for making me realize I too share a true love for my mailbox. And I must say, that in the last couple of months, my mailbox has been VERY generous to me. I adore going to the mailbox for an unexpected surpise.
Thanks again for your blog.Posted 11-12-2009 at 02:40:10 PM by Mrs H
