1. What’s the last thing you got in the mail? A government letter on a minor matter three weeks ago, which I was able to fix up before the morning was over.

2. What’s the last thing you sent in the mail? Christmas cards and presents. I really don't post much anymore...

3. How many unread emails are in your inbox right now? I have more than one email account, but I tend to check them all fairly quicjly... so I'd say 4-5 emails all told.

4. What is your most recent text message about? A message to a friend asking of she wants to do lunch soom. She does :)

5. Do you have a favorite postage stamp design? I don't look at them that carefully, Australia Post tend to issue new ones a lot though and most are nice.

1. What’s the last thing you got in the mail?
A postcard from a friend, updating me that he "got the job"! :) (There was also a bill from the energy company, but I am not counting that.)

2. What’s the last thing you sent in the mail?
A "thinking of you" sort of card to a different friend.

3. How many unread emails are in your inbox right now?
There are 8 in my personal inbox, 2 in my school inbox, and 0 in my work inbox (thank god).

4. What is your most recent text message about?
A text to my sister about 70s music. :D

5. Do you have a favorite postage stamp design?
I do! It's the USPS's 1935 Connecticut Tercentenary Issue, which is pleasingly pink/purple and depicts Connecticut's "Charter Oak". (You can read more about it in one of my posts over at

the_postal_pub, if you'd like!)

1. What’s the last thing you got in the mail?
A notice from the breast center that my Frankenboob does not have cancer.

2. What’s the last thing you sent in the mail?
A birthday card to a friend...in December. But I'm mailing some shoes back to the manufacturer tomorrow.

3. How many unread emails are in your inbox right now?
Which inbox? I have like 7 inboxes. Probably thousands. I'm on a lot of lists.

4. What is your most recent text message about?
The aforementioned shoes! The whole exchange was: shoes that hurt, dumb shoes one's podiatrist suggests, how much time we waste trying to find shoes that fit and don't hurt.

5. Do you have a favorite postage stamp design?
Nope. But then I am unwilling to stand in line for stamps, so I just take whatever the vending machine has (always ALWAYS the US flag, never any choice).

Congrats on the good news!

I thought I'd coined the term "Franenboob" after my reduction, but I guess not! LOL I like your sense of humor.

OMG haha me too, I named it after my reduction. Frankenboob was the one that took forever to heal and was shaped...weird. During the surgery they found bad juju in it and long story short I ended up with a punch biopsy as soon as I was healed enough, to remove that stuff. So they keep a close eye on it now. Despite its less Franken shape.
