the mail lady now comes around 12:15 instead of 1..... which makes the most exciting part of my day happen forty-five minutes earlier. i love this. i have considered going down to meet her since she does provide me with the best substance ever: my mail. i think i'm at least going to write her a note or something. especially since i spy on her as she walks up in her USPS shorts and mail bag, listening to her ipod and hopefully loving her life.
anyway.
today my neighbor val yelled up in my window: you have a package!
i literally ran downstairs,
to find TWO PACKAGES.
glory.
one from blaire, who sends me a present every month as an ongoing birthday present (WHAT!)
one from my friend rosanna's brother phillip.
blaire's june present for me was a sugar holder from her work. i love it.
i now need to go get some sugar packets somehow.
phillip,
he gave me a box of maple seeds.
which i am just realizing at this second are placed perfectly next to the maple syrup jar which i transformed into a vase. life is nice to us, mmm?
honestly just taking a nice deep breath right now and saying THANK YOU GOD! for such great people in my life. yes, i receive the delights of today.
thank you blairey,
thank you phillip.

(06.19.10 @ 07:09 PM)this is such loveliness, and you are, too!
(06.20.10 @ 10:53 AM)every time i discover an item with a slight crack or chip in it, i quickly bring it to a manager who inevitably says, "toss it." to which i reply, "may i have it, instead?" "uh, sure. i guess." "yes!" i think you will soon have one place setting-worth of everything we use at the restaurant, as i have begun searching for imperfections on every item i touch.
