At my favorite convenience store a sign went up, “Drive through OPEN 24 hours!” I was thinking, “How nice of them to consider that I may need a drink in the middle of the night, now I know why they’re my favorite.” I felt a sense of comfort in the back of my mind.

On my late night drive to pick up Flexy from work, I was excited knowing that after picking him up I could make my way to the drive through.  I pulled up and there were no lights on. What!?! The nerve! I saw someone inside, so I motioned for them to come to the window. I said, “You’re not open? I thought you were open 24 hours?” She told us that they didn’t have enough business to stay open all night, apparently I’m the only one that was excited about the new hours. So I pulled away and went to another convenience store.

The next day, I went in the store to get my refill. The manager was at the front of the store. I said, “I’m very disgruntled that your drive through was closed last night when I came!” (I was disgruntled in a none threatening way) He said, “We have Dr. Phil on speed dial, if you want to talk to him.” I said, “No.” He said, “How about Dr. Drew?” I said, “No thanks, I’m gonna go back here (I pointed to the back where the fountain drinks were) and have a chat with Dr. Pepper! I know I’ll feel better then!” Everyone listening laughed and I got my drink. “It’s just what the Dr. ordered.” Right?

One of my favorite Christmas decorations is the

Fisher Price Nativity.

I love to watch the daycare kids play with it. They have so much fun with it, and love it. The other day as they were playing with it. They were having a ball putting the different characters in different locations. They pulled all of the other Fisher Price toys out. Within minutes the kids were putting all of the characters together on all of the different Fisher Price toys.

My very favorite thing was when they put Baby Jesus on the roller coaster and on the Ferris Wheel to go for a ride. How darling! They would say, “Let’s let Baby Jesus go for a ride!” They had so much fun with the Nativity. I’ll put it away now till next year. They will enjoy it more if I don’t have it out all year.

I’m glad that Fisher Price made a Nativity that children can handle and play with. They usually don’t get to handle and play with a Nativity. I love it!

I’ve been wanting to paint our bedroom for some time now.

I found a beautiful golden honey paint and we got to work, no drop clothes, and no tape.

I said to my darlin, “Are you sure you don’t need a drop clothe?”

And he said, “Drop clothes are for sissies!”

Well, alrighty then.
