It’s that time of year!
Time for odd (almost) spring running tan lines!
Capri tan lines. That’s a new one for me. I usually sport the crazy back tan lines and shorts tan lines (and the good ole inner elbow ones).
I just had this feeling yesterday, when it was so sunny, that capris might not be such a good idea during my run, for tan line reasons, ha! (They actually were a good idea for warmth though, as were the gloves and face mask that I used for the second, windier half of the run.)
Something exciting happened before my run yesterday – the mailbox fairy came! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eventually we’d like a fance brick mailbox (with a big box for packages) that matches the style of our house, but this is PERFECT for now! I can’t wait to stop our mail hold at the post office, and just walk 300′ to the end of my driveway to get our mail.
I hope our postal person doesn’t mind making the trip down our driveway to bring packages to the house. We’re hoping to catch them sometime next week and introduce ourselves and talk about it.
At the townhome, we had a huge communal mailbox, and everyone had their own box in it, and key. When you got a package, they either fit it in your box (TWSS?), put it in the big package box (and left a key for that in your box) or brought it to the door.
We order quite often from Amazon, and a few times our box was stuffed too full (with Amazon orders) to fit in the next day’s mail and the postal person left some notes for us… oops. I’ll make sure to get my mail on the daily at the new house!

I’m getting my short-sleeved shirt tan line already – considering we run so early in the morning, it doesn’t seem possible, but there is a marked distinction in shading on my arms! Crazy.
Yay for a mailbox!!! I think making friends with your mailperson can go a long way in getting your packages up at your front door; hope it works out for you.
That is nuts! I wouldn’t expect it from the early am – is it more on the side of your arm that faces east, too? Or do you do an out and back?
I hope it does too! I will keep you posted – I know you understand postal issues!
I keep a bit of a winter capri tan line, which will morph into a shorts one. I have weird designs on my shoulders/back from different tanks and bras. Your mailbox is pretty! It reminds me we need a new one. Ours is kind of embarrassing actually. I hope you are enjoying your new house!
Does yours actually blend out? I bet you get interesting lines from skiing!
Thanks! I like how it looks! I hope you can get a new one!
Thanks – we are! 🙂 I still walk around like “I can’t believe I live here!”
I’ve never seen a flying squirrel before! Cool and a pain in the ass at the same time. We had a few critters in the attic (and walls) when we first moved in and we were lucky they decided to vscate (or die?) on their own. (It was pretty freaky to hear them scratching in the wall when we were laying in bed and also worried they’d chew the wiring and burn the house down!)
I am happy they vacated (let’s say they did that!). Yeah… I heard the squirrels above our living space the day I posted that and… yeah. Freaky!!!!!!
Yay mailbox!! Hopefully you have a nice mail person. Maybe bake them some cookies? Can government employees accept cookies? 🙂
If they are under a certain value. Ha ha ha. Actually, not sure what the USPS rules are! 🙂
Congrats on the mailbox (which I guess is old news by now). I’m glad the first piece of mail from me was a KPop postcard. ^^
Me too! Steven was asking me about what was on the postcard, lol!
