Thursday Threesome

::Surprises in the Mail::

Onesome: Surprises-- Hey, do you like surprises? ...and what kinds? Birthday parties, dinners out? ...or are you one of those people who absolutely has to know what's going on before it happens?

Well, yes, I like surprises. If they're good surprises. Usually they turn out to be ants invading the kitchen, broken pipes, flat tires, and other unpleasant things.

Twosome: in the-- nick of time: How do you keep track of birthdays and anniversaries and events you need to remember but only occur once a year? ...and where is your bailout place for cards and such when you've cut things a little too close?

This is why the good lord invented PDAs. :-) I also have all the birthdays and anniversaries written on my calendar at work and dutifully transcribe them to a new calendar each January. Cards? I get my cards at the Dollar Store. They actually have nice-looking ones, not cheap slick cards.

Threesome: Mail-- Mail Call! Did anything interesting show up lately besides the bills? ...and do letters and cards still make it to your place or have email and ecards taken it all over? Inquiring minds and all that...

Yes, I just got a book in the mail, Inventing Christmas, and have two more remaindered/used books on the way, Christmas at the New Yorker and The Readers Digest Book of Christmas. We still get cards on birthdays and at Christmas.
