Two or three years ago, April and Andrew gave me a fantastic birthday present. They gave me a beautiful card and in that car was a Keg gift card worth 100.00 dollars. ONE HUNDRED!! And they were so poor right then. I was so impressed and delighted and loved it. And...then I lost it. I tore this place apart looking, several times over the years.
After about six months to a year I realized it was not going to show up. I went out and replaced it and we took them with us and went out to the Keg for a lovely dinner. End of story. I never told her.
Today....I found it. I was cleaning out one of the drawers in purple room and there it was. I couldn't believe it. I showed Bill and we decided that a break from the juicing would be nice so we dressed up and off we went and had a fantastic dinner. Escargot, Chicago charred rare rib steak, baked potato, garlic mash (by accident), onion rings, passion fruit brule, cheesecake and a bottle of See Ya Later wine. Awesome. And tonite I came clean with April...she laughed.
Another thing I have been meaning to mention. I love sleeping with my usual ton of pillows and blankets etc... But....I like having a small blanket up around my head. I have always, from the time I was little, liked having a small blanket.
YOU WON'T SEE ME DRESSED UP LIKE THIS VERY OFTEN
MY BLANKET, ISN'T IT AWESOME?
I have a bff. An amazing really good one. She and I have known each other since we were 15 years old. And, my luck totally, she quilts. She has made me two amazing quilts. The big one I keep for company. In my house with dogs, and messy boys etc... I can't just leave it out on the couch to be used. So it gets taken out on special occasions. But the smaller one, yup! you guessed it...it sleeps around my head every night and I do believe I am going to start to take it with me to Maui and on our trips. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my blanket. I already take a small comfy black pillow I stole from Monte (he paid 5 bucks for it at Zellers) so I think I am going to put it in my suitcase from now on. Thanks Cookie!! I love it. TTYL
You look great! and I am glad that quilt has such a good home!
