stupid mail

i was so sad when i got home tonight..
most of you know.. jim and i arent great at checking our mail. its ALL the way down the street.. and its been cold and rainy and i can't find my key. it has been a week.. maybe two.. and i called jim on his way home from work and asked him to pretty please stop and grab the mail on his way home.. i knew i had a bridal shower invite and 2 new magazines (Real Simple and Coastal Living) I was really looking forward to curling up on the couch to read my magazines before Lost came on tonight.. but Jim walked in the door with a bright orange piece of paper.. they had taken our mail back to the post office.
this has happened once before and jim was promptly yelled at by the lady behind the counter. he said its my turn this time. so tomorrow during lunch i will be running to the boys town post office and grabbing a bag full of mail.. and receiving a stern scolding for not checking my mail.
its not my fault they make those darn mailbox slots SO tiny.. sheesh.
