What is it about sending and receiving mail that so intensely satisfying?
I have an excitement about mail more commonly witnessed in seven-year-olds. I can not wait to get home so that I can check my mailbox, despite approaching a ten year history of receiving mostly bills (and Victoria's Secret catalogs, despite the fact that I have never ordered cheap, itchy lingerie from that company). Really, the last spate of interesting mail was my college acceptance letters. And considering where I ended up going, those were none too exciting.
I've never received a letter from anyone I've dated, but I'm holding out for it. Cat sent me a card with a lolcat joke, and that made my week.
I made a few choice purchases last week and mailed them out to friends yesterday, so if I know your address, expect something soon (cue malevolent laugh). Look out for a postcard from my fabulous trip next week, if I can figure out how to navigate the Chinese post office system.

I also love mail! I'm on more mailing lists, just so I can get catalogs.
You know what else is cool? Stamps. Bat stamps are the best ones I've ever had, and right now there are Star Wars stamps. Plus you can make custom stamps with your own image.
We aren't alone, Colleen.
You both should be getting packages from Pueblo, Colorado real soon.
