Wednesday, as I was flying home from Sacramento I started thumbing through the May addition of "Spirit Magazine". I ran across an article that made me think of one of our blog readers(Hint: It's a man) . I thought that maybe I should tear it out and send it to him. Then I had another thought, I wonder if I looked through the entire magazine (with the the thought of thinking of others) how many items would jump out at me and make me think of someone.
I decided to mail each of the pages that reminded me of someone to them as a little surprise. This is going to be a new thing because I had a blast doing this. There were some pages that I wanted to copy and send to a whole slew of people but you know postage stamps are freaking expensive (They are going up again on May 14th to 41 cents). One that I could have sent to 100's of people was "Workers Waste 1.7 hours per week looking for information they have filed but can't find"ARGH!
Rest assured that if you don't get something this month you probably will get something the next time I do this. The results were amazing....quite amazing. I tore out probably 1/2 of the magazine I also included my own little comments, written with my favorite Sharpie.
Here is a request: If you get something you have to come back and acknowledge that you received it. (You don't have to say what it was but you can if you want to, that would be fun). Otherwise, people will think I am full of it.....we wouldn't want that.
P.S. MTC and Jinjer, need addresses. Email them to me.

Hey Kim! Don't have your email address. I am sure it is in your blog somewhere back a ways when you wrote about your 30 different email addresses. LOL. Which one do you want me to use for your email to send you my address??

I received an envelope today with two pages of ads from Dillard's, my second favorite place to work!
I was so happy to see that I had some real mail today and that it wasn't a bill!
I think this is a great idea. I love that you thought of me Kim :)
Long live Bob Barker (and he has) and The Price is Right!
I must say that I am a little dissapointed that I havent received more feedback on this topic.
I sent out 22 items and only 3 people have commented about them so far. (Thanks, DP, Christy and James)
Sitting at work yesterday, there came a knock on the door. It was the mailroom guy with our Kim letter. Since Dora and I knew something was coming, we were ready. But the look on one of our co-workers face, said it all. The letter was addressed to Dora and Myself, and our co-worker just couldn't figure it out. Anyways, when the envelope was opened, it revealed a page, that had a picture of a pile of phones on it, with a comment that reads "Looks sort of like all those darn Treos!" Thanks Kim.
K_E and I have to share the page. So we are going to take turns posting it in our cubicles.
Too bad I can't post a picture of the box I have next me full of treos. R.I.P. treos. All hail the mighty Blackberry Pearl!!
Thank you Champ for thinking of us. :-)
Even though said blogger warned of the pending mail I was to receive, I was too pararnoid thinking I was receiving a letter from a stalker. However, curious as I am, I opened it anyway...to find out my husband needs headphones to drown out the noise coming from my mouth! Nice. Thanks a lot!! You can go shopping by yourself! Just kidding. Let me know when that big mall opens!
I am the luckiest with 3 sheets!!!
Treo 700 (great memories there)
Southwest Rewards Card (more great memories there)
Forever New Orleans (now there's a memory!)
PS Mr Smith is convinced that this whole event started for him, although he may be right (he usually is);his never arrived
Got mine this weekend! Combines 2 of my most favoritest! I never knew they made Texas Wine... that is the best thing in the whole world... thanks again Champ for another perfect discovery!
The US Postal Service finally delivered mine destroyed envelope and all in a plastic envelope. Enclosed is a note that suggests that I and the hint. How cool is that? I have always said that a Shiner goes particularly well with any smoked meat! Thanks for thinking of me!
