A Letter

Dear U.S. Postal Service,
Recently I placed an order from Dick Blick for my very own set of these.

In case you are unaware, these are Caran D'Ache Neocolor II Watersoluble Artist Crayons and just looking at this picture of them is making my heart rate increase to what quite possibly could be an unhealthy pace.  They have been out of stock and I have been patiently (or not) waiting for them to become mine.  I received an e-mail today from Dick Blick and they are on their way.
I know that money is tight for you right now and special requests are likely not in the budget, but could you please be kind to my crayons until you can place them safely in my hands?  I would appreciate it.  Also, when it comes time to deliver the box to my house, I might suggest sending a mailman who is slightly hard of hearing.  There might (probably) be excited screaming and happy dancing going on.  Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jolene

While I have been "patiently" waiting, I have done some work in my journal.

Don't you just love the image of the orange?  It makes me happy, even when I have a headache.  LOVE it!
