Yikes!

Hmmm...it's been almost two months since I've been on here. I'm becoming like the people I pester about how they don't blog enough. Man, it sucks when that comes full circle and smacks you upside the head.

On a brighter note, I was inspired to actually blog today after a trip to the post office. So, I've ranted about the post office before. Justifiably so. This time, I was shocked and amazed at the level of customer service. The super nice lady with white-blond hair at the downtown Lansing branch rocked the house today. I went in to ship a care package to S, in Philly working on becoming a PA (miss you, by the way!!). Not only was Ms. White-Blond super friendly, but when I told her I was shipping homemade caramel-chocolate-nut brownies (which by the way, are neither hazardous nor a liquid, which is how the question came up...), which are affectionately known as Goo and Les Goux depending on which circle I'm running in, she complimented me on having friends so wonderful that I would take the time to ship a care package. She then asked if I had friends on the west coast ("Not yet, but one of my other best friends is moving to Sacramento tomorrow, and I plan on sending care packages to them, too!") and took the time to explain the flat-rate priority mail gig and give me several boxes to take home so that I would have them there, ready to go, for the next batch of Goo to be shipped. Ahhh. Such a refreshing experience at the one place that usually lets me down.

Rock on, Ms. White-Blond at the downtown Lansing post office! You made my day!
