Halloween party invites sent out: CHECK. Channel positive vibes for good mail day: CHECK.
Assault mailman: CHECK (the poor guy is a sub and doesn't know this is typical behavior for me). Screech when stash of mail arrives: CHECK. First spaz: Victoria! Second spaz: Somerset Studio. THIRD SPAZ: DIRT IS HERE!!!! Didn't even see at first glance that there was a priority envelope in the stash! Wrote to Chris to assure her it arrived.....then talked to her so we could have a group spaz. Now I'm furiously working on the packing and journal that will accompany the box of bottles. (Journal will chronicle the tales of the collection process). It's HERE!!! Thanks for all your good vibes!!
THEN - I stopped by my P.O. box and there was an anonymous envelope from NJ.....with Walt Whitman dirt. COME ON!!!!!! This is awesome....more than awesome! I am using quotes from Dead Poet's Society in my little gift book so W.W. is perfect. BUT WHO SENT IT????? UNmarked envelope....but postmarked Camden, NJ which is where Whitman is buried. (Of course I looked it up....wouldn't you?) AND THEN, a sweet reader wrote and offered to get me Lizzie Borden dirt when she heads to Massachusetts this month. I'm telling ya....this has been an amazing adventure!
In 24 hours we'll be standing in line....breathless for the OPENING NIGHT of the new tour. Swoooon.
