Fighting over the vanity sink

What kind of mailbox do you have?

Posted on December 22, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Currently, I have a mailbox that I hardly ever check. *smile* Reason being, I'm too lazy. All the important stuff goes to the Hubs office anyway. So if anything comes into my home mailbox, it'd be a Christmas or Birthday card. Or spam.......click to learn what next.
