A record

This morning, I was pretty excited to log onto my Hotmail account and discover I had only 6 new messages in my Inbox. Maybe excitement is a little strong for the feeling, since at that point I was thinking that I would have only six messages to delete. Maybe surprise would better describe my feelings.

I used to never get junk e-mail, and then, I guess one day I met the wrong website and made the mistake of exchanging my email address with it. My need to delete has never been the same since. I don't have the horror stories of my friends who log on and have to delete hundreds of emails at a time, even with their junk filters on. But I still get my share of offers for things in my pants and shirt, and fake degrees. I'm not a fan of the filters, because I'm a control freak. I prefer to manually delete, so a friend's email doesn't get screened out by mistake.

Anyway, this morning, out of those six messages, only one was junk! How amazing is that?! Five out of six emails were legitimate, from people I know. This could be a very good day ahead of me.
