Waitin’ for frankie….

So my super rad sister gave me a subscription to frankie magazine for my last birthday. How frikin’ awesome you may say, I sure did!

No more fighting the elements; clinging to lamp posts and street signs, battling the bitter winter wind to my local stockist. No more clutching frankie to my chest, protecting it from rain threatening to damage her wonder-ous pages! No more disappointment at missing out, walking dejectedly around other magazine stands, searching in vein for another to satisfy me, tide me over till next month!

But no! Even the best laid plans, or however that cliche goes…
For some reason Mercury Subs doesn’t think that the New Zealand readership is as eager to receive, or maybe they are just not as eager to give! Either way my sub always arrives a month or so late. Even the website is updated and active, and other bloggers are commenting, before I have even had the slightest whiff of pixels on paper!

I know I shouldn’t really complain, there are worse things. But as the weather has been progressively getting worse, and the evenings darker; I am finding my self somewhat obsessively checking the mail, ours and others! Large envelopes from banks and insurance companies, from a distance, look suspiciously like her! And each time my heart skips a beat, my pace quickens, a smile tugs at the corners of my mouth; but lo! Its not her! And I am a lil more crushed each time!

On the positive side however, I have found a couple of enviable letter boxes in my neighbourhood. Perhaps the weight would not be so painful if I could sand next to one of these beauties…

Cute hey!
And as for me, well I will have to make do with back issues for a lil while longer!
