I’m working annoyingly long hours (for me, anyway) this week and it’s been fabulous to come home to cards. If everyone could coordinate their cards’ arrivals so that I’m getting one card/day for the next week or so, that would be wonderful. 😃 Anyway, today I received a puppy from **dogbutler**. I was disappointed that it wasn’t a beagle. 😉 Meant to post this last night: I actually love it when the cards are spread out; I consider February to be Valentine’s season; makes a bleak winter month much more cheerful. Thanks! GT ---

Had three cards in the mail today, from **CutiePie** , **Doggio** and **Rosie**! Yay!! 🙂 It’s so much fun to send them and even more fun to receive them. And yeah, like **GT** , I do not mind when they’re spread out through the month. 🙂 Thanks again! ---

My printer, for the first time ever, decided to go all wonkety on me, but thanks to the good offices of the guys at the Apple store, I got it fixed today. Therefore, all my Valentine’s made it into the mail this afternoon! In my universe, that counts as “on time.” ---

Is anyone else finding the Hallmark site to be completely useless? I’ve been sent a few cards, and I can’t open a single one of them. The site just locks up. ---

I’m guessing the Hallmark site is just too busy today – I’ll try again later. Thanks to those who sent email greetings today! ---
