That "awesome" idea sprang from the fact that...hee. That "awesome" idea sprang from the fact that when I was proofreading, I realized I used the word "awesome" twice. I was thinking of another adjective and then decided to just embrace the awesome theme and come up with several more places to put it. It made me laugh, but I hope people got it. My sister didn't. She was like, "Why do you think you're so awesome?"1UP RPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068793836666132237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867291480333356847.post-61619957526190835182007-12-13T15:14:00.000-06:002007-12-13T15:14:00.000-06:00That's when I would have angrily driven miles out ...That's when I would have angrily driven miles out of my way to go to another post office. I've had a lot of success in my life with "try someone else." There's a guy at the Buffalo Grove post office that ooohhh... I hate that guy. I go to Wheeling. But I know "out of the way" in Washington in something completely different.<BR/><BR/>Brooke, I just received your card and it is lovely. I was also amused to note the use of the word "awesome" in the family letter no fewer than five times.

And it looks like something...That card is darling! And it looks like something young kids could help with pretty easily. <BR/><BR/>I once made all our Christmas cards by hand...can't exactly remember the design, but I do remember that the thing that <B>made</B> the whole card was a small bead that I hot glued on to the front. After making a gazillion of these, I had them all stamped and ready to go, only to have the guy at the post office say, "We can't put that envelope though the machine. You're going to have to remove that lump from every card." I begged him to hand-cancel them, but he stood firm: "Nothing thicker than 1/4 inch on the cards!" I came home, ripped off the beads, and had to glue something I cut out of paper over the rip spot. Must say, after that whole affair, I haven't been brave enough to make Christmas cards since!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462234281181668215noreply@blogger.com
