Hey Mr Postman!
The last time I was this obsessed with the mailbox my hair was considerably longer, my skirts were shorter, and I was planning( my escape from) my wedding.
Diva Girl is supposed to hear about her arts school tryout this week, and waiting for that letter has sent me straight back to waiting for Grad School. The continuity of experience between the fourth grade and the fortieth. Just like when her mother tried to get into grad school, Diva Girl has jumped through all the hoops. She's done the testing, filled out the applications, and given it her best shot. And now, it's out of her hands and all she can do is wait to see if she's judged worthy.
These days it's a mad race to the mailbox. We both paw through the junk mail and the bills, eagerly searching for an official looking envelope with a school board logo. Each day, we come up empty. No letter.
While I really, really want the "pleased to inform you" letter, getting the "many qualified applicants" response wouldn't be the end of the world. The uncertainty though, the waiting to find out which one it is, is killing me. I just want them to put me out of my misery (and to accept her into the program).
All was not lost at the mailbox today, however. I didn't get The Letter, but I did get a package from Eden. She sent me "You Are Not the Boss of Me!", an hilarious momoir by Erika Schickel. It wasn't what I was looking for in the mail today, but I think it was just what I needed to take my mind off things. Until the mailman comes tomorrow, anyway.

fingers crossed!
I'm glad you're enjoying it. I don't Thordora is digging hers so much as I did and as you are. Tell me when you're finished and we can all have a virtual bookclub discussion :)
Hi there, still no news about diva girl, I can imagine you must be just about climbing the walls. Good luck Brina we have our fingers crossed for you.
Eeep! I hate waiting too!!! It stresses me out and gives me tummy aches! Now I'm getting all anxious for you guys! I'm keeping my fingers crossed too!!! Can't wait to find out what they say!
It wasn't THAT bad. The last essays were MUCH better than the first. And reading that she wrote most of it high but it into perspective.
