I’m a total slacker.
I haven’t posted since the 7th and it’s now the 26th. I haven’t mailed my pay it forward prize yet, even though I’ve had it for over a month (I bought the stuff the week after the contest). I’m a complete slacker, I know it. And I do feel badly. Especially about the PIF prize. I SWEAR I will mail it this week. Gah! Can I use “I can’t find the right sized box” as an excuse? No? Ok, I don’t have an excuse. I just hate the post office. But I don’t even have to go to the post office. I can go to the place we pick up our mail. So no excuse. I just fail.
I have pictures to post (if I can figure out how…Ryan, this means you need to help me!) from our mini-vacation to New York state. We had a great time, and I was in one of my best friend’s wedding. It was a fabulous event. I drove out there on my own last Tuesday/Wednesday, and Ryan and I drove back to MN together, leaving NY on Sunday and getting here about 1:30 yesterday afternoon. We drove through Montreal and Toronto…they weren’t exactly on the way, but they weren’t too far out of the way, and when are we ever going to make it to Montreal or Toronto again? It was really fun. Too bad we didn’t have time to stop and enjoy visiting…although neither of us speak French, so stopping in Montreal could have been interesting. I didn’t even want to get off the highway, for a fear that I wouldn’t be able to get back on it again because I couldn’t read any of the signs.
Anyway, I need to get back to work (it didn’t do itself while I was gone, surprisingly!). But I promise to write more this week. I’ll have a whole ‘nother story after next weekend. We are going on our first camping trip on our own to Scenic State Park in Northern Minnesota. I’m super-excited!
Note-to-self. Get that package mailed tonight!!! And stop slacking!

You are totally not a slacker. It is August — and I am pretty sure that there is a law somewhere against doing too much in August.
And I’m going to be out of town for a week or so anyway, so there certainly isn’t any rush for the post office!

Dude, I HATE going to the post office too! I should make a list of things i hate in AZ and one of them is the post office! Ha!

Did you know that the inability to mail anything in a timely manner is totally genetic? I read in a family history somewhere, that one of the great “Old Ks”, from the Paleolithic Era, was 2 months late on his cave mortgage as he failed to drop the stone tablet check at the post office (and also had trouble getting the stamp to stick). So don’t feel bad. You inhereted the gene from me, and I got it from way back! Not my mother’s side though. She’s way good at mail.

Mary, I think maybe it might be the well water up in northern Minnesota, because my mother is horribly bad about mailing stuff and so am I! But then again, maybe it is genetics and maybe we are related in some sort of way since both our families did grow up in Baudette/Roseau area! Ha!
