Yesterday was Lisa's birthday and since she's impossible to get a hold of I thought I'd try her at work since that's a fixed location where they actually answer the phone! She was working on her birthday! Amie and I met up at Stamp Attic to visit Lisa. That store is so tiny that we were breaking some fire codes by being there. It's seriously the size of a walk-in closet so to have Me, Amie, Lisa, James, Jessica, 2 of Lisa's daughters working there, and another employee just made for a serious crowd. (My kids were outside the front door.)Remember yesterday when I was so happy about the cloudy weather? Well it turned into hot sunshine for most of the day and didn't rain until evening. Today we have an officially rainy day (it's currently pouring) and I'm thrilled. The kids and I went to play in the rain yesterday, but it slowed down considerably once we got out there, so I ended up feeling foolish.
Yesterday I received a cute package in the mail from Rachelle. She sent me 3 very cute file folders from Old Navy (which I had been admiring just last week), some gum, ribbon, chip-chatter J's, mini post-its for marking passages in books, stylin emory boards, and a nice note. I just love stuff like that. Thanks Rachelle!
I scrambled to make it to the post office before 5:30 yesterday so I could get a couple of items out. I can't stand losing a mailing day if I have stuff ready to go. I have a good relationship with the automated post office machine and am still shocked that nobody is ever using it when I go to the post office, maybe they like standing in line to mail one thing. Who knows?
Tonight is our Ward Book Club to discuss The Giver by Lois Lowry. I stayed in the cozy and read this morning until I finished (delightful). I listened to this book on cd several months ago, but still enjoyed reading it. I had actually forgotten the ending! The discussion tonight should be really good because the lady leading it works at the BYU library and is a specialist in young adult/children's literature. I'm so proud of myself for finishing it early enough to have a peaceful day.
Has everybody signed up for Kristi's Pink Christmas Gift Exchange yet? You can sign up until August 10th. She has like 55 people signed up already! It should be very fun.

I love the rainy days.
I also love the automated machine, except that it doesn't have the media mail option. I was irritated yesterday that there were two people breathing down my neck to use it and of course I have four things to mail. I was in a hurry to I made them wait. Should I have taken turns?
No, you can finish all your business and then they can have their turn. How irritating for you. I haven't ever had anybody waiting on me yet.
I love rainy days! I am longing for some out here. We are currently on a water watch which means you can only water your lawn on certain days. The only thing they allow is if you stand and use the hose manually. I guess they figure you won't be doing that for so long. Glad to see you got some good weather.
Our automated machine always has a line maybe I should try another post office. I am never that lucky.
SO totally loving the rain!!
It's been so nice to have a break from the never ending string of sunny, hot days we've been having. I woke up from my nap, though, to a much sunnier sky and was thoroughly disappointed.
I don't think the Lehi post office has an automated machine. Too bad. That would seriously increase my ability to send good mail. Though my new double stroller has such a large basket that trips to the post office can be a lot easier. Especially if I can get Kaitlin to sit in it while we go in. Also, did you know that you can schedule package pickups at your home with the post office? You weigh and pay for your packages online and then the mail carrier comes to your door to get your packages. Pretty cool. I haven't tried it yet, but hope to soon!
Love love love rainy days. They do make me want to kick my heels up and shout. Although Mim called me to find out if we were alright because she saw on the news that the 90mph winds in Provo blew over a plane at the airport!
I also love the automated postal machine, and have only had to make someone wait to use it a couple of times.
I am surprised that that many people could fit inside Stamp Attic. That's fun that you tracked Lisa down at work.
I have been wondering how much you enjoy audio books of books that you have already read? I know we have no memory for books, but what about things like Gilead that you have read very recently? Just curious.
I love rainy days, but seriously cannot remember the last time it rained here in Texas. I especially love how everything smells.
I too love audio books. I get a lot more work done when I am listening to one.
I am all about the automated post. Why do people even wait in line- it is sooo easy.
I live in Washington, so rain during the summer is expected. But we have so little good weather I always feel a little cheated when it rains during July and August.
I absolutely love rainy days. It was so hot in California -- it was nice to come home to cooler weather.
Didn't we read The Giver for our "old" book club at one point? Anyway, I love that book. I'm a fan of children's/young adult lit. I hope that you have a good discussion tonight.
I love rainy days, I love the smell and the possibility that the heat will drop even one degree.
I've never seen the automated machine, but I've never looked for either. I'm going to love that if my PO has it. Thanks for the tip. I looked for Lisa bday on your list but couldn't find it or her last name or address, could you help a girl out? Thanks.
There's nothing I love more then a rainy day. Especially if I have no where I need to be.
i love rainy days!
love that post office thing!
that photo is so cute!
Rainy days are great, but they're not nearly as glorious here as in Utah where you can get a legit storm that comes and goes like normal. Here we either get a really, really wimpy rain or we get it for days until LA is being flash flooded and you're desperate for a break.
We need the rain in NYC. It is soooo hot here and the dog pee on the pavement has been nuclear.
I love those automated teller machines as well. Unfortunately, I'm usually mailing 72829 headshots out at once, so I have to interact with people.
Still loving the blog!
