It wasn’t the “to” that caught my attention. After all, it was in my mailbox. The “from”, however, took me by surprise: Bimbo Bakeries USA
I’ll spare you the images that ran through my head but let’s just say I debated whether or not to even open it. The debate lasted oh, about three seconds, when it was suddenly hijacked by my curiosity.
After carefully ripping peeling off the top of the envelope, I felt like Charlie in Willy Wonka. I’d found the golden tickets (okay, so they’re blue) — four $4.00 coupons for my favorite bread (Sunbeam 40 calorie, wheat – 1 Weight Watchers point!)
When I called the 1-800 number last week, Sunbeam told me to expect coupons, but they did not, however, prepare me to receive an envelope from Bimbo’s.
Can we judge the contents by its envelope? Apparently, yes — but in doing so, Brian almost lost out on enough free bread to make many, many sandwiches for dinner. 🙂
LOL — am I going to have to open all my junk mail now?? Yeah, that would've ended up in recycling at my house 🙂
You have no idea how close my coupons came to biting the dust…or should I say, becoming dust. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Susan!
Bimbo Bakeries? Who comes up with a name like that–or should I ask? I'm with Susan. It would've been in the recycling bin here too.
Good question, Ellen! ha…
Cathy, you continue to fasinate me in how you can find meaning and messages and metaphors, etc, in just about everything. You are a born writer and poet, my dear.
Oh, thank you, Deb. 🙂 I hope you have a blessed holiday weekend!
Wow. Bimbo Bakeries. Glad you took a picture. No one might have believed you without proof!
Ha! So true! Thanks for sharing, Mary. Have a great holiday weekend. 🙂
