There is something heartwarming to know people think enough about you to find the card that says....yep this is you.

One is a bday card....has 3 dudes on the front....a tall lanky guy with blondish hair, a short pudgy guy with dark hair, and a black dude with afro, facial hair and peace medallion around neck. Outside says,,,,happy bday from the Cleavers. Inside says....Wally, Beaver, and Eldredge.

One is a thinking of you card.....from has a toilet with a human leg sticking out the bowl. Inside says....finding oneself is not always an easy or well defined process.

Memories.

So am I the only sap who collects stuff like this?

...Nope I don't think so. I wouldn't say I collect cards but more along the lines of buying them with the hopes of finding either the perfect person or occasion to send them!

Spending countless hours in a card store is one of my guilty pleasures!
