My Mailman Kind of Hates Me

I live in a residential area where I am required to have my mailbox on the street on on my porch. We opted to have ours on the edge of the street to make things easier for our mailman...also, because my dogs bark like mad every time anyone dares to step foot in our yard.

All three dogs.

So, I've had a love/hate relationship with my mail man over the last year for a few reasons.

1. The mail route changed in our neighborhood last year. Instead of getting my mail by 11 am, like I have for the last 10 years, I now receive it around 5 pm and sometimes as late as 6:30 pm!
2. My mailman enjoys tormenting me by leaving my mail box open...even when it is raining. Being that this is Miami, it is ALWAYS raining.
3. When a package is too large to fit in the mailbox, my mailman brings it to the porch. Yet, he leaves the rest of the mail in the mailbox.

A while ago, I received a review item in the mail, the Bormioli Rocco Dedalo 7-Piece Liqueur Set. It arrived in quite a large box, so the mailman brought it to my porch. He left everything else in the mailbox...which he left open. One of the items left in the open mailbox was a check I received as payment for something. Guess what got soaked by the rain and had to be reissued because it was unreadable?

This Hello Kitty Earloomz bluetooth headset is so cute that even Angeline wanted to use it! It retails for $34.99 on the Earloomz website, which I think is a totally fair price for such a cute device!

And my Luke Skywalker USB drive from Mimoco? It's so cute! My favorite thing about it is actually that it's a 2.0, which is faster than my other USB drives. For only $19.99, these USB drives are actually the same price as I paid for Angeline's USB drive for school last year - and it's sooo much cuter!

There are lots of other Star Wars characters to choose from too, the entire Series 8 is part of their line! I think I know a lot of techie kids who will be sporting them this year for back to school!
