I sent off four letters today I will try my best to get all caught up before my vacation starts.
4 out and one in.
I received these beauties today. One from me went out this morning, and another will go out tomorrow.

1 out today. A love note to my princess is all ready & will be mailed to her @ work tomorrow.
Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.
Another 8 out yesterday & 1 more this morning - after buying a heap of international stamps.
More Royal family pictures !!!!!!! I'm sure our PostOffice thinks only old ladies who read Women's Weekly post letters these days, not old farts who'd prefer to see their letters adorned with wombats, galahs or even spangled drongos.
So close to the bottom of the reply pile.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spangled_drongo
The spangled drongo is the only drongo* to be found in Australia. "Drongo" is Australian slang for "idiot", possibly referring to the bird's uninhibited and sometimes comical behaviour as it swoops and perches in search of insects, small birds and occasionally, small skinks.
Whilst this bird is often silent, it sometimes makes astonishingly loud, complex and entertaining calls that may sound like a "sneeze".
* that should read only flying drongo found in Australia. There are plenty of the non-flying variety around.
Those crazy eyes would look great on a stamp.

Two out for tomorrow. Still recovering from my swoon at finding Clown Contamination in one of the incoming!

Trying to catch up after holidays and a very very busy domestic schedule, four out today, at that rate I might catch up, only seven awaiting, then what shall I do.....

Two going in the post tomorrow! None in for a while. Maybe I need to send a few more out!

1 in yesterday - how quick was that Kata!!
Seems like I only sent yours off a couple of days ago!

Three letters and six postcards leaving Ypsi in tomorrow's post.
Sometimes if a letter comes in at the right time (kind of right place right time thing), I'll pen a response right away. Your letters usually inspire me to do that, along with a few others. Thats not to say they are better than other letters in my to-reply pile. It just depends on what hits me to write that day I guess This time it was yours that came to me at the right time to respond right away! No rush on a response. I know sometimes I can reply really fast and others worry about taking too long. I'm not bothered by delays
Buried under small boy's birthday party and the Big Class Paper due soon. Will be writing regularly to decrease my pile in a week or so!

With the transition into another month, I have a new set of charts. Life does its best to keep things interesting and I am doing what I can to keep sending out replies. Thank you all for everything you have sent, it means a lot.
On to the charting:
Kinda sad looking on my side. 15 in, 7 out. First time in three months that the in, was higher then the out.
As a result, my reply pile is headed in the wrong direction.
