A day in the life of me

My amazing mother had been putting together a love package for me which had many names; "Fun Box," "Giggle Box," "Enjoyment Chest," "Laughing Box," etc. You get the idea, it was suppose to make me laugh and joyful. She was very excited about this package that when she went to mail it she made sure it would get here as soon as possible.
It came in a week which is VERY surprising. I had to go to the center post office to pick it up which is about a mile or so from my flat. I found the "special package" post office which is down an ally, in the back, up some stairs and then you open a door and it is about a 5 X 5 closet that you stand in to get your special packages. :)
It took the lady about 10 minutes to find the package and I had to sign for it and then she showed me a piece of paper that said I had to pay to get the package since it went through customs so I handed her my debit card and she told me we don't except them. I ended up having to walk around to try and find a ATM, I finally found one. As I was standing at the ATM, it started pouring. After I got money I ran into a store and bought an umbrella and then headed back to the ally.
Package in hand, I started my mile walk back home, hoping that the rain would let up. It didn't. It just started raining harder. So here I am, in a T-shirt, flip-flops, and Capri's with a package walking down the prestige catwalk of Kaunas called Laisves Street, in the pouring rain. I wish I would have counted all the looks I got. I could only imagine what I looked like to the Lithuanian. Their looks just put me over the top, I started laughing. By this time I had to stop and put the box down because I was laughing so hard I couldn't move.
I was half way home and I stepped in a puddle and at the same time a car went by and splashed water on me. I ended taking my flip-flops off and walking barefoot the rest of the way because they wouldn't stay on my feet. Now I was a real sight. :)
I couldn't wait to get home to call my mother and tell her that her packaged lived up to it's name even before I opened it!

Flat Stanley

This is me and Stanley. He is a pretty good looking lad, isn't he? My nephew's class made flat stanleys and mailed him to different places. The goal was to see how many different places Stanley could travel to. He came and visited me all the way over here in Lithuania so I figured the least I could do was take the guy on a date. We walked around and I showed him some cool places in Kaunas. We even decided to document our travels.
He is a quite guy and a great listener! He flew back home a week ago. I sure will miss him!
P.S. I'M STILL ALIVE! Hopefully I will get a couple more posts on here about the last couple weeks!
