The magic of the mail.
The promise of the post.
The beauty of the boxes.
Just in time for our trip to Bali (and my birthday) not one, but two packages arrived. When the doorbell rang at 6pm, I almost didn't answer. Then I thought, "What if it's the post man?"

| Thing two |
 |
| Thing one |
And.
It. Was.
Let's start with the treasures in box one.
Tank tops and bathing suits and breast pumps, oh my! And newborn onesies! And toothpaste (a tube of western toothpaste is about $7.50 here)! And a replacement container for my Cuisinart chopper! And contacts! And mysteriously wrapped birthday gifts!
Now onto the magic surely in box number two. That looks like the teal tote from Beauty Week at Saks!
And, what's this? LaMer!
And GIRL SCOUT COOKIES (Thanks, Sophie)!
And Dove soap (like toothpaste, western soap is very expensive if you can even find it), and diaper bag inserts, and a waffle maker for Kyle (24 pack of Eggos is like $ 16.50).
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mom and Dad, for sending these packages!
* Explanation of Title:
"The package is out in the open," is from the first Mission Impossible movie, and my sisters and I say it when we are covertly exchanging and transporting Jessica's shorties. Yes, we 're that cheesy ;-)

Love a good package! btw, can i start calling mine, shorties? love that term!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Jen, you should certainly call them your shorties...makes me smile. I don't know why, but I think it's cute. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you open your bday present??? Unfortunately, I HAD great intentions, but...my life doesn't allow me to be timely. Anyway, I really thought we should "spread out" the packages (yeah, right)! Sounds better than I couldn't get my butt to the post office. What will happen if it arrives while you're in Bali? Should I wait to send it utnil I know you'll be there? Love the post! You haven't been waiting for the toothpaste, right???? You have brushed your teeth recently, right??? j/k :)
