I requested a second address last night.
Germany this time.
With my first postcard, it only took three weeks betwixt requesting, writing and physically mailing.
The race is on.
How much can I shorten my processing time so as to allow this poor German student to receive a postcard sometime in 2007?
And good grief. What type of social awkwardness makes me freeze up and have to practice what to write on a freaking postcard for goodness sake? It is three inches by five inches. And with the address section, the part I am required to fill is significantly less than that.
So why does it loom so massively like a blank canvas?
I wonder if she would see the humor if I wrote much like a caveman?
Me woman
Me writing you
Me old
Me boring
Who you?
Me sending to you now
Bye bye
Yeah, I didn’t think so. But it’s fun to fantasize. And actually that silly little exercise gave me enough of a release to actually go write my postcard so I guess it worked its magic. It made me giggle, so for what it’s worth, that worked.

Fabulous and wild.
It entails such a long explanation of the mechanics, yet it is really very simple to put on. Rather than type it all out, I have typed it on my blog.

The Christmas we lived in Germany, it started snowing on Christmas Eve and snowed all through Christmas.
It was marvelous. Incredible. Wonderful. Amazing.
For a southern girl who grew up in a combination of the American southland (hot) and the Pacific Northwest (rainy), snow is such a novelty.
People keep trying to tell me that it’s going to get old and that I would hate it and so on and so forth. I just cannot see that happening. I love it. I love the cold. I love the nip. I love the wet. I love the melting snow soaking wet shoes. I love the chilled extremities. I LOVED the twinkling lights in the snow.
That was a magical Christmas.
