Well my friend Doris and I just had our xmas.
We went out to dinner at one of our favorite local haunts-"The Driftwood"-and had a nice dinner and then we decided to go hunt for "after xmas" sales at WallGreens.
I picked up a few things that were 75% off....mostly xmas trinkets and some lights for next year.
We then bopped over to my "cave" and exchanged our little gifts.
I got her a bunch of baking cookbooks and a gift certificate to one of her other favorite restaurants and a few other stocking stuffers.
My "take" this year was something I have wanted for ages and hinted about to a few different people in hopes of Santa being good to me this year....and she came through with.....a "queen size feather bed mattress topper". It is filled with "Down and feathers" and looks (and will hopefully feel) just heavenly.
The bed linens are being washed right now in anticipation of "Sugar Plums" dancing in my head tonight.
I also got a "Scooby Chia Pet plant"....I sppse now I have another thing to water and feed besides Scrappy and the two fish. Hopefully Scrappy will not eat the "hair" once it is grown on the Chia's head. Does anyone know if "Chia grass" is ok for cats to much on??
I am contemplating getting a "NetFlix" subcription for renting movies online. It is sppsed to be a pretty sweet deal if a person watches more than a few movies a month. For 17.99, a person can rent as many movies a month that they want (having 3 out at a time). They send the movies via mail and then when done watching, you put the movies back in a prepaid envelope and send them back and they send you your next selections....in usually one business day. I am going to try it on a trial basis and if it works as good as it is spppsed to...I may just drop my "enhanced cable". We will see.
Off to check on the news and see how those poor people are fairing with the after effects of the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean and then maybe watch one of the 1000 movies I have in my collection that I should probably start getting to.
Happy Wed.
