One In, A Ton Out, and A Proper Name

Hello friends!
It's a sunny day here in Las Vegas, NV.
I just got back from the gym.
What?
Oh, you thought I meant I just got back from working out.
BUHAAAAAH!
Actually, I haven't been in over a year and I forgot my member number so I obtained my number along with a ten day pass so my endermologist can come with me and get my butt in gear.
She's offered to be my personal trainer for a day.
For Free!
To be honest, I'm a little scared that she's going to over work me and I'll die of a heart attack.
So, if you don't see any posts within ten days, you'll know what happened.
 
Now, on with the mail.
I only got one Postcrossing today.
 
 
From the Netherlands.
The sender writes:
Hello JarieLyn,
I'm liesbeth from Amstelveen Holland.
I like flowers and work in a flower shop.
I like my garden and the little birds in it.
Best wishes,
Liesbeth.
 
Picture perfect for today's weather.
 
I worked hard today on my outgoing mail.
 
 
An official Postcrossing on the way to Poland.
 
 
A small gift for my beautiful sister.
 

 
Tucked inside this envelope is the Adventures of The Traveling Postcard R7 swap.
I also included a few extra items with a French theme for the recipient.
 
 
A pen pal letter.
 
 
A pen pal letter.
 
 
A pen pal letter.
 
 
A pen pal letter.
 
That's The end of Thursday's mail.
 
On another note, a pen friend asked me how I pronounce my name.
It never occurred to me that many of you probably don't know how to pronounce it.
It's something I have taken for granted and now I'm aware.
First, the spelling is quite different than most with the same name.
My first name is Jarie, pronounced Jerry. ( I was named after my dad)
My middle name is Lyn, pronounced just as it is spelled.
I don't like being called Jerry. It makes me feel too masculine.
So, put the two together and say Jarie Lyn. (Jerry Lynn)
It's a bit more southern sounding which I like because my heart belongs in the south, even though I've never lived there.
 
How were you pronouncing my name?
I'm curious to know.
 
I've been called sherry, terry, jerry, and numerous other pronunciations.

The Day After

It's the day after the last Christmas party of the year.
We had a great time and came home with a $50.00 Amazon gift card, which I am thrilled about.

Dinner was great.

Saturday incoming mail:

A letter from a new penpal.
I believe she saw my profile on sendsomething.net

I really like how she put a quote on the back of the envelope.


The most adorable Koala.
An official postcrossing card from Australia.

The sender writes:
Hello,
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia!
I hope you like the Koala on the front of the card. It is my favourite animal as it is so unique!
It is getting warmer here now, it is our summer here.
BEst wishes, from the Bedfords!

A really cute card from Taiwan.
I don't know what it is about this card, but it makes me smile.

The sender writes:

I'm 17 years old.
I love gogic, (not sure if I got this one right) kpop star and dancing.
I hope you like this card and than you have a nice day.

A large envelope from my penpal, Ally.
I was very excited to open this one.


Inside, a lovely Christmas Card.

And.............



A mail themed zippered bag.
I really like it a lot and it was very thoughtful to include this gift for me.
I could keep my best writing pens in here or maybe some paper or stickers for on the go.
I could keep an array of supplies to easily port anywhere.
Thanks, Ally.
This is a great gift and I will definitely use it.
(Smiles)

No outgoing mail on Saturday but I should have a few pieces leaving my house on Monday.

Happy weekend, everyone.
