yesterday i got a call from dan's aunt who lives in iowa. i have never met her. she informed me that she had sent us a $75 baby gift... to our old address. apparently she has been sending us Christmas cards all this time and the new owners of dan's house never took the trouble to even write "return to sender" and pop them in the mailbox.
i stopped by the old residence and left a note for the people to call me. they did. they said they get a lot of mail for us around Christmastime. ugh. glorious mail that i never got! it chaffs. anyway, i arranged to pick up the package today and it was a very nice scrapbook for jack. glad i can now inform the aunt that the package has been received.
in other mail news -- i received a $125 gift card to target today from 5 of dan's aunts from his mom's side. woo hoo! what i think i am going to do is use my paycheck tomorrow and order tantalizing target stuff on-line (like the cutest red baby bjorn potty chair, a brown jj cole "bundle me" for the car seat, and some navy gingham curtains and diaper stacker!) and then use the gift card for household needs. clever.
