Jannie Funster did a girl a solid!

I received a notice from the post office the other day advising me that my six month PO Box subscription was due to expire 10/31 and to get my butt down there and fork over some cash or surrender my key under penalty of postal workers going postal.

Since I hadn't visited my PO Box for well over two months, you can imagine my surprise when, upon tossing a massive mound of supermarket flyers into the trash, and just in the nick of time, the telltale glint of postcard gloss hit my eye.

I reached out and grabbed my treasure a nanosecond before it came in contact with trash and thank goodness because, and I'm not sure about this, it may or may not be a Federal Offense to dig mail out of an official Post Office trash can.

Thank the sweet Lord above, I am glad I did because it was nothing less than a post card from the "honey of funny" otherwise known as Jannie Funster! Thank you, girl! It was a rare treat. I appreciate you taking the time. For those of you poor souls unacquainted with Jannie Funster, you are in for a rare treat if you check out her blog. She's a singer/songwriter, mom, lover (not mine), poet and humorist of the finest calibre.

Here's the card. Thanks again, Jannie! xo

(Word has it she hides in the bushes and waits for snowbirds to show up, then dashes naked across the beach shouting, "I have no Jannie Bannanies today!")

  2. Hi Julia! It was wonderful, made my day. I can only imagine what she was thinking in that it took me so long to acknowledge the gesture. *sigh*

    She's totally fun, you're going to love her. The two of you are two peas in a pod. :)

  5. I think I found Jannie through your blog, Heather, and I have to second that - she ROCKS! Hilarious woman - owes me two keyboards and a flat-screen monitor. (Actually, I take full responsibility, since at my age I should know not to surf her site while drinking liquids. I was able to clean off the damp Oreo crumbs, thank goodness.)
