i slept!!!!

i am so so so happy this morning because i slept....and when i woke up like i have been around 3:00 a.m. i went right back to sleep quickly. today i have an appointment with dr. blackburn who is my family doctor. i see her for the pain medication rx and other things.i am not happy about this but i am going to ask her for an rx for walker that is more durable and has a basket on it. i think it is time when i am having a rough day with pain for when i go outside my home. i have one that was paul's but it is not as sturdy as i would like and it does not have a basket which i really need to carry things.

mom is making desserts for our family gathering on christmas eve. eveything she is making sounds so so good. i think it will be one of thsoe times when i will just have like a bite or two to try everything....she is making date nut pudding....pecan pies...aunt lizzies sugar pie which is very similar to pecan pie just no nuts....non dairy chocolate cake due to my young greaet neice who is 2 and my sister are allergic to lots of things...and oreo balls.........dark chocolate and white chocolate and mom is worried that will not be enough! i told her that with the variety most people will want to try all of them and most likely just a bite or two.....

i am feeling so much better now that i slept! i know that i got good nights sleep when i woke up and in my living room light was on and so was the radio. tonight mom and i are getting together so that i can write up the tags for the gifts and run some errands and then am frosting graham crackers for sunday. i think that at our holiday celebration at church kids will enjoy the simple cookie that is just graham crackers iced.

lj's for the past couple of days....giving the center where i go for counseling and psychiatric doctor being able to give them some treats....having a good nights sleep...mom going to pay for me to get a haircut...gracie being in the mood to play more lately and is doing better at not barking much when outside....talking with my frieind michelle last evening...having good experiences with both of my doctors and liking them both and they are both very wise....email and my computer......mom paying for my cable bill.......blogger buddies and happy that things seem to going on with andrew and others.......gum it helps my stomach lots.....

oh a bj (big joy) is my counsleor nan was going through her things at home and getting rid of some things....well some of you know that i have not had an oven or stove for about a year now. i do have a microwave that works well. i will most likely get one in the 2008................so nan was getting rid of things and knew that i was tiring of microwave meals so she gave me the small size george foreman grill!!! i am so exited! i was blown away with her generousity! when i go to the grocery store tonight i am going to get ground beef to make a hambuer and some chicke or veggie burgers...also to me a bj is getting to see all of my nephews and their families on christmas eve.....oh also i heard from my cousin who we were really close to each other when we were little and then as adults in our 20's we were close and then life got busy and i think we had a disagreement years and years ago like in our 20's and kind of stopped communicating so we are staring to email some which i am so so happy about. it is interesting how as one gets older things like family get more important. i also get sad that there years that brad and i were not communicating....in his immediate family he was my favorite cousin.

hope that all who read this are having a good week full of peace and joy in this what can be hectic time of year. remember the reason for the season. o.k. kind of a funny story....years ago mom and my friend david and i were driving someplace i think to volunteer on christmas day well we passed an adult bookstore and mom said i cannot believe that they were open and david said "right i am sure that the people who work there and their customers really belive in God as their savior and lord...david has such a great and dry sense of humor.

I'm glad you got a good night of sleep.

George Foreman grills are great. That is so nice that Nan gave it to you. I had a roommate once who had one, and we actually used it to make lots and lots of bean, cheese and jalapeno quesadillas. They were really good, and pretty inexpensive.
