Outgoing For Today

This went out today, if I have any incoming today I'll post it later :)

Going to Melissa.

This was a new letter set, I fell in love with it because of the envelopes, and it's my favorite Sanrio character ever!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Last Low Key Weekend for Awhile. . . .

I've been doing a whole lot of nothing this weekend. I was hoping to go to Chargers FanFest (free event at the stadium) yesterday, but both the hubby and I forgot and when he got home from work in the morning he didn't feel like going. I was pretty bummed, but there's always next year.


Anyway, on Friday I had a special treat! My sis-in-law asked me to watch my niece for the morning, and my nephew Joey decided to stay with me too! I was thrilled about this because I hadn't been able to spend time with Joey in almost a month, so it was long overdue :)

Toast with jelly, yummy!

I have no clue what she was doing, lol.

Still don't, ha ha, but I love that girl :)

Mine and Joey's favorite thing to do, sit on the patio and have one of our conversations, always fun to hear what's on the mind of a five-year old :)

My nephew Reese made me this rose out of duct-tape. Isn't it the coolest thing? I need to have him show me how to make them!

And last but not least, outgoing from. . . uummm, I think Tuesday? Yeah, I'm a little behind, whoops!

Going to Abbye.  The two little flowers are rub-ons that were in my package pals swap, I have fallen in love with them, I'm going to have to find more!

So, that's all for now. I have one more letter to write today and then I'll be all caught up (for now). 


Just a head's up to everyone, my next few weeks are going to be incredibly busy, especially the next 5 weekends in a row (ugh). David's sister is coming down from Northern California with her three daughters, they will be here some time today, so the next 10 days are filled with all sorts of stuff, so I probably won't be around much.  So don't worry if I don't check in for awhile! And then I'll probably have several posts once things settle down to share adventures with everyone!


Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. I'm off to write a letter and watch more of the Olympics, I'm addicted! lol

Incoming/Outgoing 7/30

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I had hoped. I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I've been sluggish during the day.


Anyway, here's some mail.

Outgoing to Laney.

I recently won a give-away over at Make My Day! This is the second give-away I've gotten this summer from her, she offers such wonderful things! Anyway, my prize came today :)

Loved her mailing label!

She was offering 3 keychains and 3 magnets and split it between 3 winners, and then surprised us with what we got. I am thrilled, I ended up with the double decker bus magnet and the postbox keychain! I love them!

Well, that's all for today, I'm going to try and write the last two letters I need to catch up on and do some stuff around the house.

Mail Problems. . .

So, our neighborhood is considered an "extra route" by the postal service, doesn't make any sense to me since this neighborhood has been here for around 40 years.  But anyway, what this means is that about every month or so we get a different mail carrier, or sometimes we will have a different one several times a week.  The other issue with this neighborhood is that all the street names are different, but all the house numbers are the same, so there are about 6 streets with a "10047" house on each one.


What all of this means (if I haven't completely confused you yet) is that lately, we have been getting a lot of mail for other streets or our neighbor's. Now, I'm always good about making sure to take someone's mail to them myself, but I know other people don't always have the time. So, long story short, I have had a couple of letters recently not make it my way.


So, my dear penpals, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, when you send me a letter could you either leave a comment here on my blog, or send me a quick email (bethfinsterwald@gmail.com) and let me know that one is on the way so I can keep an eye out for it please? It would be greatly appreciated! And I'm going to try to be better about posting received letters as soon as I get them. Thank you so much!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Slow Week

I don't have anything fun to share. . . well, except for spending most of a $100 gift card shopping for clothes this week, that's about the most exciting thing I did all week.


The rest of the week has been spent searching websites for jobs. . . fun stuff. 


This weekend my parents are going to be gone, so basically I'll have the weekend to myself with the hubby sleeping all day, so I plan to catch up on things around here. I have three letters to reply to from Laney, Abbye, and Melissa, sorry it's taken so long, things got pushed aside this week. And then after those I'll be all caught up for a little bit :)


I've mostly taken a computer break today because my eyes have been screaming at me all week to stop staring at the screen, lol. So I've been doing laundry. . . see what fun I've been having? LOL.


Well, hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Putting Aside What I Need To Do

After three days of searching for a job and emailing my resume off and filling out online applications, I'm putting it aside for a day or two to catch up on mail!


I have three letters that need to be written. So I'm putting aside what needs to be done for what I want to do!  That and give time to maybe hear something from one of the places, and give my eyes a rest from the computer screen.


So, just a quick check in to say hi, sorry nothing fun to share today, my days have been boring since the kids went home on Sunday, oh, but my big brother did bring me a Venice Beach shotglass from their vacation, my collection continues to grow, lol.


Hope everyone is having a lovely week!

P.S. I forgot a little bit of a funny story, this really goes to show where my brain has been lately. I completely forgot I had a profile on Interpals! What reminded me? I got a message from a girl the other day congratulating me on getting married, so sweet! Anyway, thought it was funny that I forgot about my account :)

Happy Saturday!

I've had a busy day with my 3 year old niece! But now that everyone is around, I was able to sneak away for a few minutes.  She's usually all about sticking by Grammy or Poppie, but this weekend seems to be all about Bet-Bet (their name for me), which is a pleasant change, but at the same time she can be a little much. Very strong-willed little girl she is! 


Anyway, onto the reason for my post, first some incoming mail today (very rare on a Saturday).

Incoming from Melissa. I loved her beautiful floral stationery!

And a couple pictures from today.

Jillian being silly while eating some pizza on the patio :)

Wyatt and I made this today, it's "Dalmation Chocolate" and it was in the cookbook I got in my package pals swap, two ingredients and so simple to make, and it's so yummy!

Well, time for me to go wake up the hubby and get some dinner going for the two of us. Hope everyone is had a wonderful Saturday!
