• Surprise! Surprise!

  I'm not sure how a log sleeps, but I'm pretty sure I slept like one, last night!!!

  I woke up in the middle of a dream where Jesse's sister, JoAnn, and I were elbowing each other out of the way to view a small TV screen.  I woke up with Sushi in the middle of the bed nuzzling me and my arm was elbowing *her* away.  That's a good reason why I don't put too much stock in dreams and what they "really" mean!  I would never push JoAnn in real life.  She hasn't been "pushy" - not EVER.  And, watching something on TV isn't all that important to me.  So, what did my dream mean?  It meant the dog was licking me and I was pushing her away.  Not to mention the fact she isn't allowed up on the bed!  END OF DREAM INTERPRETATION!!!! LOL

  I had a nice surprise this morning, after my surprise rude awakening!  I came out to the kitchen to find Jesse cooking breakfast.  (it rained last night, so he's home, unable to mow lawns)

  I only photographed Jesse's legs - he HATES having his picture taken!
                                           
  Yes.  Chirper was right there in the middle of everything!  I always laugh when I see my photographs later on; inevitably a pet shows up kind of tucked away, here or there, in the picture!.  It's like those "Where's Waldo?" pictures!

  What was on the menu?
                                          
  

  Sausage patties and apple fritters from the bakery.  No, the glue stick by my water glass wasn't on the menu!
                                       
  
  Since I only eat turkey sausage (others upset my stomach), I replaced the beef sausage patty with a second apple fritter.  Then Jesse brought me a glass of orange juice.  I was stuffed as a result of my over indulgence in apple fritters!

  Rissy has had a cold and Luci & Annamarie started with drippy noses last night and woke up this morning all stuffy.  They ate breakfast, but I doubt they had any sense of taste.  Rissy is just beginning to taste things again.
                                     
  Rissy still doesn't look very chipper, does she?  Poor children!   I've recently retrieved our "industrial size" bottle of hand sanitizer and will be keeping it out in the open.  I NEED to stay healthy and not catch children's illnesses.

  I had another lovely surprise late yesterday.  I've ordered some things for Annamarie's birthday and a few books for myself.  Packages have been arriving over the past week or so.  In my mind, everything I have ordered has already arrived.  Imagine my dismay when we arrived home and there were 3 packages on the porch!  Jesse was right behind me and I was saying, "I have no idea what that could be!"  He, jokingly, asked, "What have you been spending money on this time?"  I drew a blank and truly had no clue what I had ordered, which led me to wonder if I had a disorder or addiction of ordering and spending money on the Internet!!!  I was so relieved to find the one box was a pair of shoes JESSE had ordered!  The second smaller one was a DVD I had ordered for Annamarie's b-day gift (at a discounted price).  Finally - the last package.  FOR ME!!!!  A box for me!!!! 

  My sister sent me a box!!!!  My desk is full of cards, flowers, and now gifts from my sister's box!
                                  

  See that red "thing" standing up amidst the cards?
                                 
  It is a package of LINDT MILK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES!!!!!!!!!!!

  CHOCOLATE!!!!!  Oh, yum!  I've seen them, but never bought a package, because I'm cheap, I guess!  Of course, I did the only polite thing one does when they receive a gift, I opened the red sack and ate one.  Oh, DOUBLE yum!

  This morning I ordered Annamarie's birthday cake, white cake with purple and yellow flowers on white frosting.  I just absolutely have to wrap her gifts.  I think I'll get off of here and do that before I do anything else.  I know here birthday isn't until Sunday, but this procrastination of gift wrapping is making me get on my *own* nerves!   LOL

  Since it is too wet to mow, I think Jesse plans to go have his mower blades sharpened.  I plan to make friend Emily's banana bread - two loaves!  Rissy wants to watch and learn how to make the bread because she loves it.  Well, the truth is, ALL OF US love it!  It doesn't last long and I cringe at the calories I'm consuming, since I spread butter on the hot bread. 

  Well, let's just not go there.

  Change of subject!!!

  LOL

  Jesse's good friend's (Camilo) wife sent home a beautiful table runner, looks like she crocheted the ends.  I hate to use it on the kitchen table because we are such slobs when we eat.  It's too small for my massive dining room table.  But I'll find a place to use it.  It's too pretty and so thoughtful of her. 

  Today's TO Do List:
  *  Order Annamarie's cake   (done)  
  *  Clean our bathroom and have the girls clean their bathroom
  *  Bake banana bread
  *  Put country ribs in Crock Pot
  *  Order black out drapes from Penney's for Rissy's window  (done)
  *  A bit of laundry - maybe my own and towels
  *  Some school ?????  (we really should do some)

  And that's it for today on the home front.

  Be Blessed  ~
