5Ws Wednesday–Who wants some mail?
Today was a day off for us. Thanks to Veterans Day, many of us had a day off in the middle of the week. Back to work tomorrow. I spent the day sleeping in and going to a couple of stores with Josh. I had a tattoo appointment at 4:00. Nothing new. It was a touch-up appointment. The artist who created all the crocheted pieces on my right arm went back over some places that needed more black ink. Not very exciting. Although I am happy that the place where color had pulled out during the healing process is much better looking now. Of course, that means that since he worked on places from the top to the bottom of my arm, almost my entire arm is now covered in the sticky saniderm plastic wrap. Also, one place he touched up was the piece on the bottom of my wrist, so bending it will be a little sore now.
As I was sitting in his chair with one arm incapacitated while he leaned on it and colored on it with a needle…I scrolled Threads on my phone with my left hand. It’s a good distraction. Totally makes me stop thinking about the pain of what’s happening on the other side of my body.
While I was scrolling, I discovered that a lot of people, older women especially, are very excited about the new stamps that the United States Postal Service will be releasing in 2027. I am joining the list of women who are excited by what’s coming. Although, admittedly, I’m not as excited as I was about the Betty White stamps.
So here’s what’s coming. First, unicorns:
I wasn’t necessarily a unicorn loving little girl. But I did love Lisa Frank and these stamps feel whimsical like Lisa Frank’s stuff. I can imagine one of these unicorns being boldly displayed on a two-pocket, cardboard folder.
Now, here’s the sheet that I saw the most excitement for. Mythical creatures:
These are really cool! People were even saying they would look good as tattoos. Which, funny they should say that, because these were designed by Texas tattoo artist, Nat Power.
I probably won’t get any of these tattooed on me, but I think what I am going to do is buy some of these, and the unicorns and send out some snail mail. I LOVE writing letters and sending things through the mail.
Would you like to receive something in the mail from me with one of these stamps adhered to the outside? I still have Betty White stamps left, you might get one of those. You never know. If you’d like to receive some fun, snail mail from me sometime in 2027, feel free to email me your address. I promise I won’t sell your address or do anything nefarious with it. And there’s no obligation to send me anything back!
