I Got Mail!
I love mail. Admittedly, I have ordered things from catalogs, eBay, and countless other internet sites, mainly just to get that special feeling of having a present show up at your door. Pathetic, I know, but true.
Last night I got home to see that I had received a package--yay! I hadn't ordered anything (the Hub's got the credit card in check since I had to put my ticket to SF on it), so even better. The return address was in Richmond, Kentucky, where I went to college and some of my best old friends still live.
It was from Jean, my old roommate and still close girlfriend. One of the most unique people I've ever met, I consider myself lucky to have Jean as a friend. She was able to come and visit me back the first week of March (on her college spring break), and I last visited her in Kentucky last November around Thanksgiving.
The yellow envelope was large and flat, giving no hint to what was inside, so I opened it with gusto to reveal a white padded envelope inside. The Hub was watching me in amusement, as I reached inside the white envelope like a little girl on a pagan holiday.
When I visited Jean last November, she and I tried to stop by the Student Store at EKU to browse for some alumni stuff. Unfortunately it was closed, but lo and behold, months and months later, Jean had remembered what I was looking for.
Inside the white envelope was an Eastern Kentucky University Alumni license plate and an EKU Alum sticker for my car. I squealed with excitement and did a clappy-clap (very fast clapping of hands), followed by the happy dance (called the retard dance by the Hub). Not only was I thought of by someone special, but she also remembered what I had wanted after all this time!
Thank you, Jean! I love and miss you!
By the way, the Hub is also grateful for the gifts. To this point, the license plate on the front of my Honda says "WICKED WITCH" and has the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz on it. Because of this, the Hub is always a little self-conscience of driving my car if I'm not with him. Problem eliminated!

You're lucky -- we Californians have to have our actual license plated on the front as well as the back!
