I was making dinner last night when a UPS truck pulled up in front of my house and stopped. I got all excited - I’m an ebay junkie and I love getting packages. I peered out the window and watched the Man in Brown get up and rummage around in his truck for a bit. Then I watched as he sat back down and drove away. They shouldn’t be allowed to stop in front of a house without leaving a package, damnit! If it turns out that they’ve stopped at the wrong address, there should be a consolation package of some sort. I think the dog thinks she scared him off by barking at him through the closed dining room window. ---

Did he rummage around in his truck with his back to you but in clear view? Because if _my_ UPS man pulled up in front of my house and rummaged around for a bit with his butt to me, I would consider that to be a large bonus. My UPS man has an ass you could bounce a quarter off. ---

I thought this was going to be about those shorts they wear. ---

Oh, what Brown could do for you…! 😉 ---

We get quite a few deliveries from UPS (DH loves shopping online). I swear the driver looks forward to ringing the bell so he can send the dogs up a wall. ---

My UPS man isn’t much of a tease, but once a FedEx deliveryman came by with his fly open and his winky peeking out (this was presumably accidental, since he wasn’t acting flirty). Oh, the thoughts about “overnight package delivery.” I still feel faint. ---

Delicious UPS man with his fly open? ::reboots self:: My packages go to a gigantic mailroom, and I never see him. I have seen the DHL man, but his red and yellow uniform is hard to miss. ---

I sometimes think that for any given topic, there’s a song about it. In this case it’s _Drive by Love_, by The Bobs, about the lingering flirtation between a UPS driver and a Fotomat clerk. No lyrics online, unfortunately. ---

A handsome UPS guy came to the door about an hour ago, delivering a wine shipment. However, I have a handsome USPS letter carrier on the couch here - my husband - so I guess I’ll stick with him. 😉 (Just teasing, hon!)
