More Postcards!

Hello everyone!

I got TWO postcards today! That's right, not one but TWO! I was so excited, especially since the postcards were the only thing in the mailbox! No catalogs, no nothing! Just my postcards! It made me a very happy girl!

As happy as I am, I am only going to show you one today! This is especially important because the postcrossing number is incorrect. U., if you are reading this, I can't register my postcard! Please either message me through postcrossing.com or e-mail me through the blog link for the right number!

I am also happy to inform you that I fixed the problem I had with my blog posting the pictures the other day! Hopefully it doesn't happen again! Therefore, the posts that were hastily put together in order to showcase the postcard are now gone! As you can all probably see!

Without further ado, here is the text on the postcard (I am only writing the part relevant to the project!):

Love is: Your significant other will love you, even if you look a mess!!

That is so true! I got my wisdom teeth out about a year ago. I am the biggest baby in the world when it comes to being sick, feeling funny, being hurt. Any of the above and I can no longer help myself. Anyways, my boyfriend came over and I was A MESS! He fed me chocolate milkshake (which I proceeded to get all over my face even though at the time he told me I did not have milkshake all over myself) and watched crappy movies with me (even though I would fall asleep every 5 seconds from the drugs I was on) and he even suffered through my horribly disgusting breath (which he told me about months later). If that isn't love, I don't know what is!

Thanks so much U., not only for your words but for your postcard as well! I love the scenery! If you're reading this, please comment, message me, or e-mail me with the registration code!

Until tomorrow, when I can promise you another postcard!
-Jill

UPDATE:
I was just e-mailed from postcrossing and they ID'd the postcard for me! It is registered on the website as of a minute ago!

Day Thirteen...And I've Still Got Nothing!

Hello everyone!

It is day 13 and I still have yet to receive a postcard or letter, for the project or otherwise! I am getting beyond impatient, whatever that possibly could be! I am very excited for the first postcard to come. Perhaps tomorrow. After all there is not any mail on Sundays. For all I know there could be a postcard in the mailbox right now. I'm not sure if anyone checked the mail yesterday! But it is far too dark out and scary wild creatures will be sure to eat me if I go outside now. I will check first thing in the morning!

Also in the morning I have to send out some more postcards and letters. Well, I have decided to only send out one a day, that way I'm only spending a dollar a day rather than 5 dollars a day. I'm trying to pace myself here, this is still exciting and new but a bit costly! All my tip money will be going towards postage!

Wish Me Luck! Or better yet send me a postcard already!

If I Only Had A Postcard

Hello everyone!

It has been over a week since this project has started. I am growing EXTREMELY impatient! I keep checking the mailbox, hoping for a postcard or a response from one of my pen pals. But I have gotten nothing yet! I wish that I had something to upload and share with all of you but unfortunately, I have nothing.

On the bright side, I have gotten many messages from people who find the project interesting. That is the only thing keeping me optimistic! Please, tell your friends, your family, your post offices, anyone who would be interested! I am hoping for a flood of postcards! I want my mailbox to be overflowing with postcards from around the world! I want my mother to give me strange looks as I get postcards in languages that I cannot understand! And I would like them soon! Tomorrow is another day, I will hopefully remain optimistic until then!

Can't wait to hear from all of you!

Still Waiting

Hello All!

I am still waiting on my first postcard! I keep sending them out but haven't gotten any back yet. Hopefully I will receive some soon. I have also sent out many letters to people I met on interpals.com that are hopefully going to be my pen pals. I have yet to hear anything from them.

I bought more postcards today. I just couldn't resist, at 10 for $1, how can you go wrong?

I promise this blog will get more interesting when I have actual postcards to blog about.

Until Tomorrow when I hopefully have a postcard to post!

Day Five...Nothing yet!

Hello Everyone!

Not much new to report here. I have some snail mail pen pals now. I am excited to hear back from them after all of the letters I've sent lately! It will be nice to hear from someone! I am still checking postcrossing.com to see if anyone has received my postcards about...every 10 seconds. The waiting is killing me! I am sure I will survive though.

On the address book front, I found one! And it's CUTE! Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Jane-Austen-Address-Potter-Style/dp/0307352382/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276260514&sr=8-1

So now, I will be busy putting my addresses in the address book hopefully all day!

I will keep you all posted (Haha get it...because it's the Post Project...I thought it was funny anyways).

Day Four...Still Waiting

Hello everyone!

I have sent out postcards and have yet to receive any back. Granted, I sent them out 2 days ago. I understand that sending things overseas takes a while but COME ON! I guess this is the problem with our generation. To quote The Black Eyed Peas..."I WANT IT NOW".

My growing impatience aside, not much new has happened with the project. I don't even think anyone is reading my posts. Hello? Anyone out there? Leave a comment or e-mail me if you are reading this! PLEASE! I won't be holding my breath anytime soon.

I hope I don't get any really mean postcards. That would be awful. I know I'm bound to get a few. And even those will be posted. Of course all postcards remain anonymous unless you wish to be identified. So if you really want to be mean, then I suppose you could be. But it would make me really sad.

Also, on the address book front. No one has address books ANYWHERE! Not CVS. Not Stop & Shop. Not A.C.Moore (not that they ever have anything I need). Not Christmas Tree Shop...NO WHERE! So I decided I have to go to Barnes and Noble. Which is one of my favorite places. I love being surrounded by so many stories that I don't yet know about. Plus the books smell so nice. But I know that they will have address books and even though they will not be the prettiest, I will buy one and I will post a picture of it on my next blog post because it will keep me busy and distract me from clicking on postcrossing.com every 10 seconds to see if anyone has received my postcard!

Enough with the boring space killers...I will talk to all of you tomorrow unless something urgent happens!

The Project Officially Begins...Now

Hello everyone!
I have officially written 5 postcards and will be sending them out shortly. I got those addresses from postcrossing.com. Which I am now obsessed with. I also have found snail mail pals on interpals.net. Which I'm also excited about because now I can write letters to people and buy more stationary! Anyways, so far, the project is going slow but it has been less than 24 hours since the conception of the idea. Snail mail takes a while!

So here is my idea for how this little project of mine will work.

I will upload the postcards to the blog and write about them. And then I will keep them in an album of some sorts.

That's as far as I've gotten. You all are just as in the dark as this as I am. But don't worry, my faithful readers, who are as of right now not aware that you are going to faithfully read my blog one day, I will let you know what's going on as soon as I figure it out. Who knows, no one may be interested in what I'm doing. But I think they will be.

Until later, tomorrow, or whenever something semi-interesting happens,
-Jill
