jaclynday: Need a beach or shopping tote? Lands’ End has a 40% off one regularly priced item deal today with code MOUNTAIN/pin 4290. I suggest the large zip-top tote for $37.50. (Monogramming isn’t included with the 40% coupon.) Another great Mother’s Day idea (or just another great gift for myself)

I’d like to dedicate this morning’s run to Britney, Christina, Aaliyah and Missy Elliot. Also, the view wasn’t too bad either. Central Park, NYC

4 weeks ago I lost the keys to my mailbox. Being the mature adult that I am, I obviously put off ordering a new set of keys because I knew the second I finally placed the order (and cut the check) I would find the missing set…. Not even kidding, that is EXACTLY what happened. I should have taken ‘finding my original keys’ this morning as a sign that today was going to be a long day. At any rate, I just couldn’t wait to get home to crack open my mailbox. It is no secret that non-bill related mail is one of my all time favorite things… And let me tell you, tonight’s findings did not disappoint. No joke, I hit the fun mail jackpot. My winnings included beautiful baby shower invitations, a bridal shower invitation, save the dates, thank you cards and even a thinking of you card. I sat on my bed opening each and every piece of mail- it was like Christmas! I felt so lucky and loved. It truly was the best way to end the day. Thank you all for making my night…. And apologies for the tardy RSVP’s :-)
