AM I CRAZY OR WHAT?

I must be crazy! I never grew up! I am collecting the very miniature tiny little SQUINKIES. They are adorable. They are tiny little plastic thingies. Anyone interested in seeing what they are can go to Squinkies.com. I bought them at TARGET. I don’t know if they are available anywhere else. There must be over 100 different ones. I have about 75 already. I know I’m still a child at heart. I have them on the first shelf all lined up just in front of my computer!!!!!! Did I say how adorable they are? I am sending my grandchildren one each to see if there is any reaction. Of course if they like them I’ll send more.
Today is a day for messages. Hubby is suppose to play golf so I’m free. First I want to go to the clubhouse. They are displaying senior’s artwork so I want to see if they will show my two paintings I have here ready to go. If not I’ll have to put them in the storage room and take them back home as I don’t want them ruined.
Then I want to go to the Boca senior community center to pick up their brochures for activities going on there. Then I want to stop by and mail stuff to my grandchildren. I need to buy a Hanukah card for my son’s girlfriend. It will be late but better late than never. I want to go to AC MOORE and look around. I want to go to Barnes and Noble and relax and browse. I want to get a card for Michael Behenna the soldier the US has behind bars for killing the enemy. So I will be running around all day.
Yesterday it rained. I did the Wii for half hour. Hubby and I worked on the puzzle. He works a lot more than I do so we’ll soon need another one. I took my SIL to return her rental car. We stopped by Barnes and Noble for coffee but it was so crowded we sat in the window’s ledge. I didn’t look around at all. That’s why I want to go back today. Then we went to my SIL’s sister for a goodbye supper. My SIL and her daughter return home in the early morning.
I spoke to my son and his girlfriend last night. I was a bit disappointed as they will be going on a cruise in February. It leaves out of NY so we won’t be seeing them. They will drive to NY and save the airfare which is about 400 each or more. I think the cruise stops at Cape Canaveral so maybe we would drive there if they will be in port long enough to make it worthwhile.
I am busy planning our Hanukah party. We are serving dairy. Yesterday morning we went to BJ’s and made an order – appetizers and more. I will start making a variety of latkes and freezing them. Some friends are bringing food so it will be a help.
Hanukah starts Wednesday. Tuesday I will decorate. Maybe I’ll invite another couple for supper and to light the candles. I have to discuss it with hubby. He is not always in the mood for company and I agree but I think it would be nice to have someone over for supper for the first night.
So I guess I better think about going back to bed. I could have driven my SIL to the airport as she’s leaving 4:30 and I’m up at 3:12.
Have a good day and hope it’s not too cold in your neck of the woods.

I remember the Beanie Baby craze – I ended up with way over 100!!! I’ve passed many of the “normal” ones along, keeping things like the octopus, and the fantasy animals (dragon, etc.) Whatever makes you happy!!!
