@trekkersangel, just finished your letter and it will be in the mail tomorrow!  I threw a little something in there for you...hope you like it!

 
Hahaha wasn't saying I'm not happy with letters I'm getting. I've loved all of them.

i know I was picking with you. Then I thought sbout writing a 5 page letter but, it would be so boring it would put you to sleep..lol
 
This probably isn't the time to mention that it's been so bizarrely gorgeous here this week that I kind of lost my mind at work today because it looked like it was about seventy degrees outside when it was really more like forty.  Spring fever hit hard and *really* early despite the fact that it was only about forty degrees outside!  On the other hand, this just means that February will be about ten weeks long and heavy on the torrential rainstorms.  It's going to suck even harder than normal.

Either that, MissJexie or the mailman is stealing your mail!!

I scared off one of mine and I never even got to write her!! She just *poof* disappeared!!!

 
I have a couple penpals who disappeared as well.  I hope to hear from them at some point but am really enjoying the letters I have received.  I'm starting a Sunday evening ritual of sitting down with some tea and writing.  I found some cute paper at TJ Maxx today so can't wait to write this weekend.

I got your package and it was SOOO wonderful and thoughtful! I wasn't sure if I should wait to respond since I had already sent out a letter to you, or if I should just go ahead and respond anyway LOL. I tend to get overzealous with the writing and start sending stuff before my pen pals can even reply!

That sunday night ritual sounds so awesome and I am totally going to try to start doing that!

Completely forgot that I've found cute paper at TJMaxx and Marshall's before. Thanks, I'll have to go there. And, I love the idea of sitting down and writing once a week! I get so excited when a letter comes in that I can't focus on anything until I write a letter but work has been killing me, making me work so much so I had to give that up when your last letter arrived.
 
Ah, I am the worst pen pal! Every time I set aside time to write/gather samples, something comes up. BUT I have the house all to myself today & zero plans so I'm running errands (aka spending hours in Ulta/Sephora/Target) & then coming home to work on my letters. Obviously I'll probably miss the post office today but at least they'll all be pretty & ready to mail out on Monday. Trying to make them extra awesome to make up for being so late. 

Also, like some other ladies have mentioned, a few of my pals seem to have gone MIA. So if anyone else is still in need of a pen pal, message me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA just realized I started this with 'I am the worst pen pal' and then told people to message me if they need one hahaha. I swear I'm not really a terrible pen pal, just super busy up until now!

I'm a super laid back person. The last thing I want from this is to stress about it or have my buddies (aka pen pals) stress about it. They can send me letters when they get around to it & I will send my letters when I get a chance as well. I usually write my letters at night after my kiddos are in bed since the hubs is gone to training for a few months. So to my ladies, take your time. No rush. This has been a blast so far. I have 4 pen pals & have received 2 letters so far & I know another is coming. I've written 5 letters & sent 1 package so far. Thank you all for keeping me busy while my hubby is away. This is so much fun so far!

 I'm going to try to start a letter to you this week.  I leave for a work conference in Anaheim, CA on Friday so I will be pretty busy getting ready for that, at home and work, but I'll try to get something out to you before I leave.

Hi I dunno if you missed it but I GOT YOUR CARD!! It showed up bizarrely, with no postmark, stamp uncanceled on I think Thurs.  Maybe it was the wonky weather on both sides?

 
Wow!!! That took a super long time!

Yeah I really dunno.  My only other theory is that maybe they sort square mail differently??? But it definitely had not been opened or inspected or anything like that.  It was weird. Either way I will write back this weekend!!

 
@Babs28, Your letter is written and will be in the mail tomorrow!  Can't wait for you to get it!
