The box

Lately I've been feeling like every day is my birthday or Christmas from selling Lia Sophia. It seems that our condo door has become a rotating door which is great because it means business is good but it also means lots of deliveries. I love it because well, I like getting mail...unless it's bills but I think most people feel the same way. So with the all that has been happening, every day is Christmas here in the Cullins household. I have most of the items being delivered to my in laws because they have a place for UPS to leave the boxes. It's so exciting when Keith's mom or dad calls saying that something has been delivered. (And yes, I know I'm a dork). If I can, I rush over and my mother in law and I ATTACK the boxes like two five year old on Christmas morning. Oooookaaaay, maybe I ATTACK a lil' more than her but I know she gets a kick out of it too. :)

In amidst all the crazy fun, her and I have both noticed the ridiculous amount of waste comes along with the jewellery being delivered in a RIDONKULOUS sized box. It's like there's all thiiiiis iiiitttty biiittttyyy jewellery in this BIG BOX. Now I'm not saying I'm a saint and recycle left, right and center and I'm not saying that I haven't occasionally littered in my youth by throwing an apple core or banana peel out the window but I do what I can, when and where I can. I also NEVER litter anymore - who knew keeping a bag in my vehicle for garbage would make so much sense? lol. However, my biggest issue is when people waste. If I'm not in a room, the lights aren't on. When we're not home, we turn off the air conditioning. If there's leftovers from a meal, they get eaten. Either way, you get my point, waste not, want not.

What does this all mean, it means that today, I draw a line. It means today, I write a letter. I'm not trying to bad mouth anyone about anything, it's just that when I see waste my only option is to write a friendly letter saying, why oh why, couldn't you send this (the following picture) in a bubble wrap envelope?....

When instead, they sent it like this.....

A letter is in order, right?! RIGHT!
