just a question...if you will appease me for a moment...
a small observation of myself today and i wanted to know if anyone shared in this with me...
...around 4pm on this lovely december day...i was in front of my home on the phone with my mother having a lovely conversation about sewing some aprons for my daughter for a Christmas gift...when around the corner, i spied a milk chocolate ups truck headed down decatur street! my heart jumped a little and then it skipped a beat as i stood still.... i was ready for the angelic ups man dressed in chocolate( to match his truck of course) to park his delivery truck in front of my home on decatur street and sift through the many packages in the back of his truck only to find the one marked with my name on it...i imagined our lovely conversation and witty repartee as we exchanged package for signature and finally i imagined our salutations as we said goodbye and parted ways....
HE DROVE RIGHT PAST MY HOUSE WITHOUT EVEN A TAP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL....
...the funny thing is that i haven't ordered any packages and certainly have no reason to expect anything that would require delivery by ups!!...but i couldn't help but feel let down and disappointed when he didn't stop in front of our home...he just drove right by...now that i think about it...i don't even think he waved to me...
i was utterly deflated.
does anyone else out there feel such let down or a mild emptyness when this happens?...even if you have no reason to expect him to stop by your door...it still stings a little when your heart has already skipped the beat.

I have the same feelings.... maybe just maybe someone secretly is trying to send me a lovely brown package.... but no... darnit.. they just drive on by! :( Sissy... we should mail boxes to eachother... that would be fun!
I get that feeling when the Schwan's truck goes by. I quit ordering when the cute driver quit! LOL!!
