e-mail? no ...

so i love e-mail. i mean, i really love it. some of you may question that since i'm pretty bad about sending e-mail ... but trust me, i love getting e-mail. so, of course, my e-mail client is set up to make noise whenever an e-mail comes in because i want to know right away. granted, a lot of time it's junk mail ... okay, most of the time it's junk mail ... but still, it might be a real e-mail, and the very thought is exciting to me.

however, i have GOT to stop getting excited about e-mail showing up right after i post a comment to my own blog. because, of course, i have my blog set up to e-mail me all the comments so i don't miss anything. so i respond to a comment someone left on my blog, and then my e-mail dings because i have a new e-mail. i get all excited because it might be real e-mail ... and no, it's just my own comment being e-mailed to me. *sigh* getting e-mail from yourself is not fun.

on the bright side, my ups packages have moved. apparently it takes 58.5 hours to go from ontario to hodgkins, illinois. my boxes left hodgkins, illinois 50 hours ago and haven't arrived anywhere else yet. hodkins, illinois, of course, is exactly one hour from my house.
