About that mailbox . . .

I’ve never been a big fan of my mailbox.  However, it served its purpose till last night.  We woke up this morning to our mailbox laying on the ground.  Since a lot of my product reviews are sent by the mail, this is a very bad, bad thing.  Second problem, it snowed here last night, so the ground is frozen.  We think it was hit by the snow plow in the middle of the night (it was still there at 11 pm).  The beam that actually holds the mailbox is split.  We had to do a horrible fix job in about 20 degree weather today.  Bill took some industrial clamps and zip ties and that is the only thing that is holding the beam together.  The beam also leans forward pretty bad, so we had to take stakes and pound them into the ground around the base.  This looks like the worst white trash mailbox I’ve ever seen, and there is no way to fix this until the ground thaws out.  I am hoping to get some pictures of my sorry looking mailbox tomorrow.  If anyone has any ideas of how to get new a mailbox into the frozen ground, I am all ears.

Lands End Giveaway!

I love Lands End.  They have some of most stylish clothes at a good price.  They even have plus size items that look good, so they score 2 thumbs up in my book.  I also love that they have a virtual model on their site.  All you have to do is put in your height and weight (there are othere things you can customize too like eye shape and hair color).  You then can pick up clothing to put on your model, and know how that looks on you.  You can exchange out colors, sizes, and pretty much anything else you want.  I could literally spend hours just playing with that.

Now, if you are interested in shopping there for yourself or Christmas, use this coupon code:
