The Postal Service

While one of my favorite bands is named "The Postal Service," I could not be more annoyed with the actual postal service here in Colorado Springs. We have had sooooo many problems with our mail taking FOREVER to get here, and FOREVER to get anywhere else, if you want to send us anything, do yourself a favor and send it UPS or FedEx. It's just stupid. We sent a bill payment out on the 6th, and the company still hasn't received it. And Sarah's grandma sent us fudge and cookies for Christmas... we got them last week. She sent the package a few weeks before Christmas. It's absurd.

Alright... enough ranting.

Sarah slept better last night. She's still asleep, and I hope that rest is what's gonna kick this flu. We're both a bit nervous about it's effect on the baby. (You know, I NEVER know whice to use. "Effect" or "Affect"... I think that if it's an action, it's with an e. If it's a past tense thing that's happened, it's an a. In which case, I've just done it wrong.) But we know that no matter what, God is in control, and knows what's going on.

No news about the jobs this morning. I'm sending my resume to that Wide Open West job I mentioned earlier.

Peace.

I struggle with the "effect" vs "affect" thing too. I think "affect" is a verb and "effect" is not.

Maybe little miss English (which I tried to spell "Elgnish") can help out a couple of dropout dumbasses.

I'm a tjpjy-hole.

Is this the canadian lala that once sang a fatboy slim song to a boy named Funk?

If so. You're welcome for the intro to the Postal Service. They is the bomb. I do like Death Cab. The song "Liscense and Registration" is top notch. The first time I heard it, I was like "noxqz!"

So here is the conclusion to have good mailing service is to live in Japan. No delay and it is always ON TIME :) Even when I mail from Japan, everything arrives there on time and it is much earlier to port things from Japan than any other part of USA!!! WHY DON'T YOU LIVE IN JAPAN???
