Its a Monday and I’ve already had issues with some software, so that’s typical.

Jennifer called down to say there was a present in my box.

So….dropped everything and went downstairs.  It was wrapped like a firecracker.

Its LuLa Rue UNICORN leggings!

They are black with ivory unicorns all over….how special will I fell when I wear them!

AWESOME!  (Just like my admin staff that purchased them for me!)

Of course, now I need a new shirt and possible new shoes, but this will be fun!

There is no better way to start the week than with Unicorns!

Love,

Mom

This week is finally over.  It was very hectic.

Blue Apron was on my porch – a good thing.

So…it must be winter, which translates to KALE for Blue Apron.  I got 3 meals and kale is in 2 of them.  The 3rd one has too many ingredients to add kale.

I decided this week warranted a glass of wine in my crystal wine glass.  Good decision.

Until I hit the crystal glass with the wine bottle….there goes the crystal wine glass…evidently not made to withstand a beating from a wine bottle.  Who knew?

I decided that this event was not a sign that I should not have wine; rather, I should stop being so clumsy.

New glass….more wine.

The shrimp/kale/pasta creation was rather tasty and I’m thinking hard about another glass of wine.  You just can’t go wrong with Blue Apron pasta.

Oh yeah…yes you can…that potato pasta was all kinds of crap.  Sorry Vietnam.

So…after this week, I am all sorts of ready for Christmas holiday!!!

Love,

Mom

So…there was just a commercial about Lindor Truffles.

I guess there is a reason why I’m not in the 2 hour delivery window with Amazon!

Yes, I would totally just order truffles and I’d wait up for the delivery!  I’m already in my jammies, so going out is not an option.

This chocolate deprivation is tough!

Love,

Mom

Greetings!  I just read that deaths are on the rise from people taking ‘selfie’s’.

One of the biggest issues in the US is taking them on train tracks…I can only assume that a train came.

Anyway…evidently it signifies true love.  However, I think it signifies stupidity and trespassing, but that’s just me.

So….Please don’t take selfies on RR tracks or at the edge of cliffs.

Thank you so much!

Love you too much to lose you over something stupid!

Love,

Mom

Finally!  I knew it was going to rain tomorrow, so I decided to try once again to ignite the burn pile.  I gathered the sticks, limbs and tree parts from the back yard – including behind the barn.  Using my junk mail – I GOT IT GOING!  This is good news.

I really want it to burn down so I can scoop up all the ashes that are quite the pile on their own and distribute that elsewhere.

The neat thing is….some flowers started blooming right by the fire pile that I didn’t plant – but they have expanded and they’re so fun!  They are daisy-like.  I am horrible with flower names, but NO, they aren’t weeds.

I had already walked Lillie, so I decided to get a jump on the new leaves and made 4 passes along the driveway – then…it started sprinkling.

Of course it did…go back to the headline….I finally get the fire going, and it starts raining.

Please send willpower my way.  I fixed dinner, but the freezer is calling me to eat the last ‘Dark Chocolate Carmel Magnum Ice Cream Bar’.   I already ate the other on Sunday and Monday.

I have to weigh in at the doctor tomorrow, so I REALLY can’t have the ice cream!

Love,

Mom

OK.  I read an article that this company makes the best hoodie.  Ever.

Go to American-Giant.com.  All the clothes is made in the USA, which you know is a big plus for me.

So…if there is anything there that you might be interested in for a Christmas gift – please let me know!

And….be rather specific!!

Thanks!

Mom
