As bloggers we get a lot of mail. I've always loved getting mail, so for me I think Blogging is a fantastic fit! Right now is a busy season too, with product reviews, and samples coming in and more. Since I have my design business as well, I have a UPS box to collect my packages and mail. Partly to keep my home address out of the public domain, but also because my schedule is so random some days it's easier to have them collect the packages.
Today I got three alerts via email that I had packages waiting for me, one I expected the others could be anything - and boy could they!

When I went in to get my packages today, the girl told me one was large. This didn't surprise me since the one I expected was suppose to be bulky. But then she told me that I would have to pull it out to the car... I was confused!
First she brought me the package I expected and the other small package, then the large one. "I think it's a bike" she said... What the heck?!
I read the box and it "Women's Bike, Yellow" ... Where did this come from? It wasn't a review item, it wasn't a requested item, I sure didn't order it!
So I took it to the car, and shoved it in. (It barely fit). Drove it home and struggled with it to get it in the kitchen. It sat in the dining room while I made dinner and did the dishes. I swear it was staring at me while I was cooking.. I just HAD to know.
The packing information only had the company who shipped it, but not WHO told them to. Inside had no paperwork or any other information. I moved a few things around and the answer was staring me in the face... "Honey Bunches of Oats". I did a little googling and found that it was from a giveaway back in MAY! But I never received an email or anything else!
Here's proof that you should enter the giveaways on the blog :) I enter them as well - and sometimes you'll get a very very VERY random package in the mail! ;)
