My faith is restored!
Today I went out to check the mail at 2pm. The post man comes between 1-4pm. There was nothing there... AGAIN! and today is the circular day. I knew something was a foot when I check the post one more time at 330pm. Still empty. So, my loving husband went to the Post Office and gave them the ol' 1-2 while I cleaned the shower. He came home...
VICTORIOUS!
The post office had collected all of our mail and was keeping it safe for us until we retrieved it. I was so happy. I got birthday cards from family, and the make -up I order for really cheap. It looks like good stuff. I'll use it tomorrow.
But the best news... no one pinched our mail. And now I know that we are safe. Huzzah... The human race isn't doomed after all.

A costly mistake.
So about two weeks ago I lost the mail box key, and the quest began.
I looked in the car, house, purse, house, car, car, outside, under our stairs, the car, car, purse, outside, purse, house and car. To no avail. So a week ago I went to the USPS and told them I needed a new key or lock. They said, "No, problem. That will be $15 for the new lock."
"Wonderful. I live here..." and they said, "Oh, we don't service that. But I'll send a tech out just in case."
Fast forward to Tues. Tech calls and says, "We don't service your post box because it doesn't say 'US Postal Service' on it."
So I hopped on the Internet and found 3 locksmiths in the area. All 3 said they could change the lock ranging between $80-100. -crap!- Sooooo
I wait to talk to Kyle about it and on Wed. night we decide to go with the cheapest agency. I called them and made an apt. for 1030. They have 1 hr to come and help us. Well 10 30 comes and goes... 1130 comes and we call, and they say that they can't find their tech guy. We say no thank you. Kyle and I are both going to be late for work. So we call the middle expensive and they are more than rude to us, so we bit the bullet and make an appointment with the most expensive company for 9am Friday. They assure us that the tech will call between 830-9am.
So poor Kyle gets up early and is sitting on the phone... waiting... and waiting... and waiting.... finally he calls them and the tech said, "Oh I got busy and can't be there until this afternoon sometime... Oh, yeah and I can't take credit card, only cash." RED FLAG!
Is this really happening to me?
So I call A Locksmith 23 7 in SLC order a locksmith for now, they say a tech will be calling you soon. 5 min later (I'm at work by the by) the phone rings "Hello this is your locksmith... where do you live?" I tell him, and he says that he'll be there in about 20-25 min.
I call Kyle and let him know. The guy shows up at 1110am.. and the job was finished at 1146am! but to the tune of a lot more than we wanted to spend.
And the really stink part of it... there is no post in our box. I think when I lost the key someone nearby found it and that someone has been pinching our mail for a week. I put a hold on the mail for this week, but I think last weeks' mail is gone.

I'm a laundry girl!
So we live in a smaller apt. and I am very grateful for the fact that we have a wahser and dryer in the unit... but it is a little fisher price washer and dryer. For example, I can fit 3 towels in the washer and it is full. And those same 3 towels can take up to 50 min to dry in the dryer.
And it's not getting any less hot here my friends and a dryer kicks out a lot of heat.
So I got a clothesline. It fits about 4 loads of my small laundry load and in the sunshine and hot air they dry in about 30-45 min. :)
That make us all happy. It's cooler in the apt. and saving engery.
I love it. It takes less time to do laundry now because I don't have to wait for the dryer to be finished.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I had a great birthday. It is so much fun to share it with America the beautiful. I really do love it.
Kyle and I went to the parade in the morning. In a word it was... lacking. But I am comparing it to Cody, WY parades that are very very nice. There was no grand marshal of the parade here, just prom queens. After the parade we went to the local grocery store that was giving free Popsicles. YUM....
Naps and talking with family took up the rest of the day. By the time fireworks came, I was ready to go! Kaysville fireworks were great! I really enjoyed them, and we could watch them from our neighbor's front yard. Very nice. Then we had sparklers. Kyle was nice to hold the candle for me so I could play.
