~Gift Exchange~

Dawn came by today and picked up their Christmas gifts.

She surprised me when she walked in. I didn't know she was

coming, lol. Donald was supposed to call and tell me..well of

course he forgot. Men..lol..He is doing a side job this week so

he really cant get away..Dawn opened her gift and loved the

Kincaid teapot.was so cute..had Blueberry tea in it..Now..that

I wont vouch for..I like Earl Gray myself.lol.but she really liked it.

Donnie called later on after he got home and opened his..he

really liked the utensil set..all in one box..easy to find what ever

he needs to use with a grill..or in the house for that matter. I

hate digging through a drawer full of loose things like ladels..

and pancake turners etc..hmmm that's an idea..lol..He will put

it to good use..Im glad he liked it..He said he had Dawn hide

half of the fudge or he would eat it all.. which I knew that..lol...

Dawn came bearing a gift for me, which is REALLY neat! I

didn't know they had these.. Its like a chair cushion back and

the seat. There is heat,, and massage.. its electric.. THIS IS
GREAT!!! there is like a remote control that you can put the

heat or massage at different levels..THIS is SO GOOD!!! I

had to potty afterward..not that the thought of the cushion made

me lol..but.. I was thinking..I get in a hurry sometimes..and wait

maybe a drip too long you know? or I run into the wall and when

that happens and you REALLY HAVE to go..well. I am NOT going

into real details here..I know at some time in anyones life this has

happened, they say no ..they fib!!! anyway..I was thinking IF this

happened while I was plugged in? well the cushion.. my question:

Would I ELECTROCUTE myself? LOL.. I thought about that site

hair standing straight out sparks flying and me totally zapped lol..

that would be a hell of a buzz lol.. I told Donnie this we laughed

so hard lol.. It is funny lol.but well I need to think seriously about

this before I plug that thing in and sit on it ya know :-D

Penny came today and bless her heart painted the top of the

door frame..shes coming tomorrow for a while to fill in the time

she missed..and offered to paint the other door facing of the

bedroom for me.. maybe she can reach the top cabinets..She

was amazed at what I had managed to paint! lol..asked "HOW

did you do that?" ..well shes getting to know me..that I cant just

sit and look at something that needs done if there is any way

that I can figure out how to do it lol..this livingroom is going to

be the challenge..specially the ceiling. I really may not be able

to do it..but if I can figure out a way to I may try it. :-D..

I splurged today and got Wendys..well Penny went and got it..

Got a classic..chili and fries.. I dunk my fries in the chili..some

restaurants now are serving chili fries..just like the cheese ones..

or like mine..gravy . Wendys has the best fast food French fries

of all of them. Ive tried them all..The King and McD's fries have

gotten so salty I wont get them anymore..ive even called and told

them about it..does no good..I don't like a lot of salt..and I had

thought they were only sposed to use so much but I don't know

for sure..I know too much tho..I am not a salt adder person.. I

use it you have to..but some people like salty..like those salt

and vinegar chips..wow..those will make my mouth just pucker

right up ..Penny got a sandwich too..I forget what kind..She is so

tiny, no bigger than a minute..she is Irish..but you can tell by

looking at her ..they would say shes a "Wee Lassie" :-)

Was a nice day today no mishaps at all..Penny has been shining

up my brass pieces..I have a really old huge tool looking thing

from a brass company that my ex's grandfather worked at I think..

its really heavy.. I wonder if brass is valuable? I love how shiney

my things look.brass is so pretty..I tried to polish some yesterday

and had to quit..my hand just gave out..and my thumb totally

refused to hold anything..so I had to stop..she finished that tool

thing ..looks wonderful now..and a pan that was on the desk..Looks

so nice with all of them shiney..the candle holders etc..

There is some chili left..and its still kinda early..so I can eat yet..I

don't like to eat real late that can cause nite calls too lol..I just love

it.. I used to be able to walk to the bathroom and not even open

my eyes.. I have to now cuz I run into stuff even with them OPEN!

and just the turn turn turn..back up.. lift..back..pull ....back.. THEN

I am in my chair..its alot..then the same thing ..except I have to be

awake to get on the potty this one is not safe..I found that out

already..the riser is white plastic and its slippery..there is nothing

on either side..just the tub on the right which is a good 8 inches

lower ..If I fell over that way I would hit my ribs..then the floor.. I

don't think that would stop me from hitting the floor..if I slipped to

the left..well its direct hit to the floor.. its not safe and I DO HAVE

to be very careful ..which I am ..which wakes me up if I have to

make a call during the night ..How things change..I wish I could

even just roll with my eyes closed so I don't wake up..but I cant..I

never know what the cats have drug out that is in the way and I

have to clear a path..and if Dutch is in his escort mode he will

walk ..at HIS PACE, directly in front of me going side to side as

if to let me know I am to follow HIM..lol. Im telling you I have two

strange kids lol.. He will deliberately do this if he sees i am in

a hurry and the whole time i am yelling at him "MOVE!" If I

tap my rings on the silver wheel its like a horn and they know

they better move..they found THAT out the hard way. lol..

Anyway..Im tired..and hungry Im gonna try to watch tv..Hell last

nite I laid down and fell asleep before I could pull the covers up

now that's TIRED!! lol..I woke up about 2 really cold ..well ya..

covers were still at the bottom of the bed.. lol I laid down before

I pulled them up..usually I get my pillows set..then sit back up.

then pull the covers up..we all have a routine :-) well I didn't make

it back up after the pillow set up lol. I honestly really cant

remember the last time I saw anything..ohh ya ..cops..that

was Saturday lol.well some TV for me tonite..I hope..but then

again..im tired. Nitey Nite.. :-)

Y'all have a good one Y'hear? Love ya..and Thanks.. :-)
