Welcome to Whatsit's Wild World. |
I just called work and told them I'd be late. I needed to put a breather in between this busy weekend and getting to work. One thing I am going to do is actually sit at my kitchen table and eat breakfast - a rare pleasure for me. You see the other thing I'm going to do - a blog entry. My first class isn't until 10:00, so I have a minute. I didn't get Em the lava lamp, but I did LOOK at them. Right there next to the lava lamps was something I thought she'd like better. It's a little electronic light display thingy - pretty hard to describe, so I'll give you a link: http://www.zerotoys.com/newsite/products/StringinIt.htm Also, one day in church recently, my mind drifted off to what I could get for Em's birthday, and the following idea came to me, and I wound up doing it. My mother and grandmother both contributed, so it was from all three of us. We got her one of those round folding chairs with a pink cushion. I wasn't sure what they were called, but the tag said "Dish Chair" - my thought was because it looks like a satellite dish. To go with it, we got one of those extremely furry and fluffy rugs, as well as a throw blanket - both purple - and a whimsical lamp with a pink shade. My grandmother had a low glass-topped table she was no longer using to put the lamp on. Also, a little stuffed dog picked up at Dollar General for $2.00. So, now she has her own little personal space to sit and read, or whatever.. She loves it, and now I feel smug for thinking it up. Also, we had homemade chocolate cake - - and ice cream. Plus she got two outfits, some pants and a shirt, and a purple windsuit. Oh, to be eleven years old and make out like a bandit on your birthday. |
