I was home sick from work (again? still!) and had just laid down to take a nap with Phoebe curled up at my head when the doorbell rang and she went flying off the couch, barking like a maniac (this is standard procedure).  I waited a minute to see if she would calm down, indicating that the danger had passed (I assumed that it was just the UPS guy dropping off a package), but she continued, so I went out to calm her down and checked the door.  I was surprised to actually find someone standing on the other side.  It was the mail carrier &#8211; the nice lady, not the guy who jams packages of all shapes and sizes into my mailbox like a typical male.  I was shocked that she took the time to come down to the door, much less stand there for a little bit after ringing the bell (usually they take off after hitting the doorbell).  She very nicely told me that she had a registered package that I needed to sign for.  After I passed the signed slip back to her, she gave me the package and then extended her other arm and gave me the rest of my mail!  My jaw nearly hit the ground!  Then she proceeds to calmly walk the whole way up my front yard to her car!<\/p>\n<p>I was flabbergasted on so many levels.  1) She actually waited for someone to answer the door.  2) She was quite pleasant.  3) She brought the rest of my mail up to the door with her, instead of putting it in my mailbox first and then coming to the door with the package.  4) She actually walked down from the road instead of driving down the driveway.  So is the difference in the sex of the mail carrier or just the attitude?  Or does one equate to the other?  &#8216;Cause, you know all of us gals and just so sweet!  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the package turned out to be my SBEBB Valentine&#8217;s Exchange package all the way from Leena in Malaysia.  She stitched up a very pretty heart design from Lavender Wings and mounted it onto the top of a box.  She also sent some cute goodies, like 2 skeins of overdyed floss, a decorated pen and a little box covered with roses that I cannot believe actually made it from Malaysia without a single chip in it!<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Misc-BlogPics&#038;id=2006_SBEBB_Valentine_Exchange\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/albums\/Misc-BlogPics\/2006_SBEBB_Valentine_Exchange.thumb.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Misc-BlogPics&#038;id=2006_SBEBB_Valentine_Exchange_Plus_Goodies\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/albums\/Misc-BlogPics\/2006_SBEBB_Valentine_Exchange_Plus_Goodies.thumb.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>So, thank you to Leena for such a sweet Valentine&#8217;s Day exchange package and to the local post office for sending the nice lady out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know it&#8217;s not Valentine&#8217;s Day but yesterday almost felt like it!
