Mail!
What a beautiful summer day it is outside! I had an eye appointment this morning (still 20/20 vision!) downtown, but instead of coming straight home, I decided to walk around the Sparks Street Mall and act like tourist in my own town. :)
It was really fun, walking around, and ducking into various shops. I always find it a bit weird going into "Canadian" stores, and seeing the things for sale that are suppose to represent our culture. All the native are, wood carvings and back to nature feel. I don't know, Ontario is such a big city province. I know we also have a lot of nature, but it's just not really the wild side that I associate with my home. I think more of farm land and suburbs rather than forests and mountains.
Which is one of the reasons I don't like buying post cards from my local stores, because they always have pictures of moose and the Rockies on them. To my surprise though, when I was walking around downtown, I saw a lot of Ottawa specific postcards, so I bought about 20 of them :P
So, since I have so many now, would anyone like a post card from me? Comments screened.

I actually... stalkerishly save people's addresses, and occasionally when I get the urge, I send random letters to the people whose address I have. Hopefully this makes them smile and not make them wonder if I'm a freaky stalker :P
I also keep a stock of cards that basically say *hugs* because it always makes me sad when people on my flist are sad, and I like sending mail to make them more cheerful. Although the stupid USPS returned the last two that I sent out back to me :S
