Of course, some home made cookies would be good too at this point!

OMG come on over to my house. We could be kin.
I have cheese and triscuts, popcorn and almonds.
I'm also stress eating, and I want cookies.

Oh hey... whatever happened with the bleu cheese honey thing everyone was talking about. I never got my hands on any, and suspect I'll just have to make it on my own.

Blue cheese and truffle infused honey. Yum. Now I need to go to Bristol Farms.

I think you need to bring some of those to the parking lot in 3 weeks. No tailgating allowed. Ok, we won't use a tailgate!

Tailgating does not imply blue cheese & honey so I think we'd be safe.

(It got plowed into my car... grr!) Took me around 40 minutes this time, which I consider an achievement given how this was so much worse than it was the last time. I ended up needing help on the last push since there was so much ice from the melted snow/ice from the last snowfall.

I am getting all-weather tires for next season.

What you need to do is stock up on the "flat rate" envelopes and boxes. The envelopes are 60 cents more to mail then the standard shipping rate that Amazon gives you. You can print your shipping labels from home. No more going to the post office! I think you can even order the flat rate supplies to be delivered to your home for free.

I still wouldn't trust it - I'm not sure why, but sending something important out of an apartment complex mailbox in this weather doesn't seem wise, especially given the rinky dink operation that is this complex. Plus, I'd have to walk through said snow to get to the mailboxes, which is only slightly more appealing. My big issue is that if it wasn't the post office, it would be something else and I'd be digging my car out tomorrow. Plus, it was nice to force myself to drive in the skerry snow.. I guess.

But, yes, I do use the flat rate envelope, since it fits most books, gets there in 2-4 days and the price is right on it. It's actually the same amount of time that the "expedited" option is, and that's what the person chose, so I sent it the way I would have sent it, anyway.

Sneaky, sneaky! Profits!

You can schedule a carrier pick up on the website.

That's what I do. Easier all around (and by the time you buy an envelope, you're usually already over the difference in cost).
