[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd spent the previous weekend dusting and shining the mailbox and oiling the hinges. I even put a fresh sprig of potpourri in and lined the inside with cashmere. Saturday morning, I met the mail carrier at the mailbox with freshly made scones and let him know that we were anticipating some very important mail on March 1st. To my horror, he said that he would be on vacation starting Monday and that - gasp- a substitute would deliver the mail! As I tried to regain my composure, thoughts flooded my mind...What if my mail was misdelivered on March 1st? What if the substitute mailman delivered at the end of the day, instead of early in the morning? Would I have to miss my mid-morning yoga and latte with the ladies? The horror!!

Monday morning, I began making calls to feign sickness so that no one would know that I would lie in wait, all day, for the anticipated large, thick envelopes. The substitute mail carrier finally came at 2:33pm- I couldn't see down long driveway what had been delivered...so, I walked, then jogged with anticipation...I opened the mailbox, a long thick envelope - it was from from Neiman's!!! I tossed it to the ground, and then - I saw them two regular sized envelopes from our #1 and #2 schools and a thick large envelope from our #3 school...I slowly walked back not wanting to immediately know if the first two letters were rejections or polite wait lists...[/quote]

Nice touch with the potpourri and cashmere in the mailbox. ?[/quote]
