Received late due to a USPS snafu

Hi!

I think the USPS and I had a small snafu. I have a POB that I check at least once a week. For 2, MAYBE 3 weeks I didn't have a chance to check it. No worries, right? I thought It was odd that I wasn't getting much mail but I figured with the holidays and the fact that I'm often behind on mailing, that other people could be as well.

Today when I went, I have a tag in my box that said I needed to go to the counter because I had more mail than would fit in the box. Ummm.. ok? Even though my box was empty except for the notice?  Somehow or another, ALL OF MY MAIL was being put NOT in my mail box due. I don't know if it got full when i went 2 weeks or what. But there was no notice until now. And they handed me about 50 pieces of mail, so dating back to SEPT!

And I thought I was CAUGHT UP!?

It was a good, I know, but I hate I had mail from so many people and didn't know it?

So, today I received mail from the following:
Beatrice in OKC
Melinda in Denver
Patrica Landon- 2 items!
Tony Mc- 2 items!
Kim in Fall River
Kimmie Dearest
Anna in Germany
Petrol Petal in S. Africa
Nathan in MT
Uncustomary- 3 items!
Jeanne in Kansas- 2 kitems!
Jennifer in Kansas- 2 items!

Writing back soon,
Maggie!

Snail Mail Fail

OMG OMG OMG! So, I moved last January and I remember going to the USPS to close my old POB. I took all the mail out, read all the mail, put all the mail in the nearest box...and....and...

JUST NOW FOUND THE MAIL! FROM JANUARY! Epic snail mail fail. I am so so so very sorry. I can't believe I did that. Take 6 months to write back, oh yeah I could and have done that. But to just put the mail in the pocket of a bag and forget about it, then FIND it 9 months later? wellllll- crap!  I suck! And I am sooooooooooo sorry!

I'm writing to these folks ASAP.

Ugh!

My heartfelt apologies to Girlzoot, Purple Princess, hg08, Amelia, and Tasha for being so neglectful.

Letters and notes and "I'm sorrys" on the way!

Update- still behind

HI!

Okay, so I'm waaaay behind on my mail but I have high hopes to catch up on writing this long weekend. I hope.

I even went on the sendsomething web site and tried to update comments- letting people know I sent and received no matter how long ago I received or sent!

Hopefully I'll have a long list of "sent" that will appear here this weekend!

xoxoxox,
Maggie

Received in May

Annonymous
Mermeg

Thank you so much. I'm still so behind. No idea how long to catch up but I will!

love,
Maggie

Received awhile ago, sent awhile ago

I'm behind in responding to email and behind in updating this blog. I've got to try and get myself organized! Moving and a job that I work 60+ hours a week is still overwhelming me.

I received email from
Patricia Landon
Kimmie David
Shannah Quin.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND... I sent letters to all three as well!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND... sometime between January 25 and now I also sent mail to:

Brittnay
Denise
Anna in Germany
Annie Fortunato

Sometime. I can't remember when.

I suck.

Working on my mail pile.

Love,
Maggie

I'm sending!

Okay so my goal was to write 2 letters a day (or more) until I caught up but that didn't happen yesterday. BUT I did manage 4 letters on Tuesday so that helps cover my delinquency for letters I neglected yesterday. AND today I wrote 5 letters!!!!!!

 

Today I have mail out to

 Kimberly in Fall River, MA

 Jeanne in Kansas

Julie McLeod

Petrol Petal in S. Africa

Nathan in Montana

Slowly but surely the pile is getting smaller. Though I'm almost afraid to go to my PO Box... haha!  :)

Peace,

Maggie

The move and the new job are kicking my letter writing butt!

I moved at the end of January and then got a new job right away, on top of it. I'm very thankful for the new job- of course!- but the commute is killing me. I have an hour's drive in the morning and usually 60-90 minutes home, all because of rush hour traffic. UGH! But the commute is really biting into my personal time- LETTER WRITING TIME!

Thankfully, I did get letters written today, though. One sent to 

Adrienne in Pennsylvania 

Beth in Calgary, Canada 

Uncustomary

LR McArthur

Monica in Chicago

...and a postcard to Uncustomary...

I hope to write at least 2 a day (or more!) from here on out until I'm caught up. They might not be very artsy but at least it will be answering letters, which is the part I love most!

Peace,

Maggie

Received- the mail mana!

Thank you to everyone who keeps writing me. I PROMISE I'll write back- I swear!!!!

Received letters from the wonderful Anna in Germany, GEORGETTE, Jeanne in Kansas, Kimberly in Fall River, Kimmie, Tony Mc, and Uncustomary- who also sent me a postcard, too!

Thank you all!

Peace,

Maggie

Trickling sent mail

Sent a postcard to Kirk and a letter to Mermeg! I can't remember when exactly I did that, though! I really need to blog as soon as I do it!

Peace,

Maggie

Received one

I received a letter today from Nathan in Montana! Thank you!

Still playing catch up with the move and way behind on writing but sooner or later, I'll get it all together!

happy mail,
Maggie

Received at my former address

I received beautiful mail at my last address! I was promised by the lady at the post office that my POB was closed and all mail hence forth would be forwarded (she actually said "hence forth". I will miss her!)

BUT thanks for the fab letters and such from
Post Muse
Denise in SD
Emily in Milford
Annie Fortunato
Beth in Canada

Thanks all and with the move behind me, I hope to start catching up on mail this week!

Mail love,
Maggie

MOVED!

I moved and have a new POB with the USPS! See my profile on sendsomething.net or leave me a comment here for the new snail mail addy!

(If you leave me a comment here and want me to not publish it, say no- I'll keep it private!)

With moving, of course, everything is behind. I hope to get back to my letter writing in a few days, or a week at most! All my letter writing supplies (and papercrafting supplies and such) are all packed in boxes. UGH!

So you'll be getting mail from me at a new address soon!

And with all things post office related, I'll be keeping an eye out for forwarded mail! (Yuck- not a moving joy!!!)

Happy mail,
Maggie
