These are the things that keep me entertained.

So my husband and I moved to Missouri 5 years ago. We have lived in 4 different dwellings, one apartment, one townhouse, one duplex and now our very first house.

Clearly I am not easily satisfied with living arrangements but that’s a story for another day.

Now some folks absolutely hate moving but for me it’s an adventure. I actually like it. One of the funnest parts of moving for me is getting the previous owners’ junk mail.

What?

I know, just follow along, trust me.

You see when people move they usually change the address of their bills and then do a general forwarding of everything else and change addresses as they get things. Now the post office will usually only forward for 6 months or so. After that 6 months is when the fun begins.

I would like to share with you my most recent junk mail.

It came in a lovely little pouch. I mean this is not scary at all right?

The pouch was filled with all kinds of offers, mostly magazines or other written material, all revolving around the concept of “Country Living”. This is the first one that made me snort.

There were several normal-ish offers, then this freaky little girl. I mean, I don’t know of many young girls who love roosters that much. I also don’t claim to know much about roosters but I’m pretty sure they don’t really enjoy being held like cats.

I’m really not sure whether I’m amused or intrigued by this book. I mean who doesn’t want to know how almonds could improve their sex life. I have to wonder though if wine can really wipe out age spots or if you just get drunk and fail to see them anymore.

I thought I had found all the funny but then I came across this little gem. At first it looks like your typical supply catalog but read a little closer, look at the fine print.

Right there in between the white arrows it says “Sorry…no catalog offered at this time – visit online to see our full product line!”

Now correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t it seem a little ridiculous for this company to expect their target audience to shop online. I mean they clearly tout NON-electric products.

Think what you want of me but this one little packet of junk mail entertained me for well over a day.

So the next time you come in from the mailbox don’t be so quick to throw away the junk. Give it a little lookie-loo, you just never know what you might find.
