whew. last night, lots of food. lots of food. a few gifts. this morning, more food. more food. many many many more gifts.
we finally came home and set up our two BEAUTIFUL NEW RED LEATHER CHAIRS that kevin bought me and then we tried to take a nap but i couldn’t sleep even though i’m too tired.
soon we go to amy and jim’s house for yet more food. i can’t imagine eating any of it.
tomorrow i’m going to go give blood. i’m going to ask if i can give a little extra, because i’m sure there is lots of extra blood in my body now. lots.
i gave kevin all of the blue shirts i bought him. they’re not identical at least, but i was looking for a sweater for him and i had trouble finding one i liked but i kept seeing other nice shirts so i kept buying them. a button-down microsuede, dark blue. a dark blue cardigan. a dark blue henley. finally, a blue sweater.
after the few weeks of buying stuf i had it all at home and realized it was ALL BLUE. i could have bought him one item in another color.
but i didn’t.
that’s the way it goes.
i bought him some new ugg slippers but they were the wrong size and also the wrong color and style, so i pretty much struck on all levels. i just spent 45 minutes trying to find the kind he wants. ugg boots are SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE.
except at some place in idaho, called snow river. yeah, snow river!
i got many lovely gifts, but i can’t remember any of them right now except the chairs because i’m sitting in one of them.
maybe i’ll feel more alert tomorrow.
i hope your holiday has been bright.
it would be a good idea to give blood tomorrow, too, if you’re not busy.
you’ll lose one of those holiday pounds. i’m fairly certain i’ve gained about 35 of them in the past 24 hours.
ok then,
christmas grace.
