Am I Mail-Worthy?!

I don't think anyone has yet been able to identify the reasoning behind the excitement that comes with snail mail. It doesn't matter if it's a massive package, a letter, a post-card, or even a bill. There is some innate giddiness that comes from seeing your name evenly printed on what you take out of the mailbox. I just recently realized that the reason I enjoy shopping online so much is the fact that I get to look forward to the package. With the online tracker, not only do I know exactly what is in the package, I know exactly when it will arrive...and yet it's still the most exciting part of my day.
I did have a reason for bringing this up. With Talysa now in Utah, it's put an obvious damper on our 'Taylee&Talysa' time; However, it has unearthed an entirely new value to our Peanut-Butter-and-Jelly notebook. Not only do we get to wonder what the other is going to write in it, we also get to wait (impatiently) for it to arrive in package form. Even though we have technology that allows me to hear about her 'Stu the Anchor Man' Skype sessions immediately, and even though I can text her right away after one of my 'Josh the Lawyer' bed-time discussions...seeing it written out in a notebook that was received via mail makes it that much more fulfilling.
Right now it is in the mail and I can not wait to see my name written across the middle, boldly implying that I, Taylee Robinson, am an important, mail-worthy addition to society!





Without Wax,

Taylee
