A Special Gift

I'm always stumped at what to get my grandma when it comes to gifts. Her condition is worsening so that makes it even harder, half the time I'm not sure if she even remembers who we are. One year I had No-No paint her a canvas and another year it was clothing she could use, not incredibly special. This year I thought I'd try something different. She was born in 1927 and always liked to collect any sort of special coin, so I thought I'd get her some 1927 silver dollars and see if they could spark a memory or two in her. I think she would appreciate them regardless but it would be fun if she started to recall things along with it.

Packing Up!

We're busy bees over here this week...we're headed to CA on Thursday! I'm so excited, I can't wait. I miss home and turned out to be a lot more homesick than I had originally thought I would be.

So far we've had to order almost all of the presents online, decide what is going where, and now it's cleaning and packing. Just trying to eat is almost a challenge right now since we don't want to overload the fridge with things we'll just have to throw out later. Things have been crazy and probably won't calm down until we are headed to the airport but knowing I'll finally be able to not have to worry about cooking is totally worth it!

Hoping for a Redo

It's kind of sad that our first holidays together haven't been all the best this year. With money the way it is, we've just been trying to make sure the kids are happy. I have a feeling that my boyfriend has been stashing money away for a gift for me though. I'm not sure what it'll be but being a girl, of course I'm hoping for jewelry LOL. At least he's in luck, I'm not at all picky and just about anything to show he cares will do. In my opinion, he does more than enough on a daily basis to begin with.

TV!

I am SO happy! We finally have TV in the house. I never really realized how much I took watching TV for granted, but I did. Before I moved, the only reason I would have one on was to have some sort of background noise. Being here and not having that was starting to drive me crazy LOL. Added to that, there are lots of shows that I would have liked to watch but they weren't available online. Now the one thing we need is a TV in the bedroom so I can relax a little when it's just me. No-No was lucky enough to have a TV in her room already and all we needed for her was some tv video cables to rewire everything for her. It's so nice to be semi back to normal.
