Ohhhhhh, she sooooo gets me!

I love this card/magnet that my wonderful friend made me for my birthday! It hangs on my fridge with great pride! In fact it brings a smile every time I see it! The ketchup packet, beside my hallowed card, has a story. One day I was taking a nap, something I have gotten into a habit doing, and the door bell rang. I wasn't going to answer it, but I thought to myself, there could be a fire or some sort of emergency! (I really didn't think that, but it sure makes the story a little bit more exciting!) Anyway, I jump out of bed, with my wild hair going this way and that and try real hard to wake up before I answer the door because I didn't want the person on the other side of the door to know that I was sleeping. As I spring open the door as energetically as I could, I see my dear friend's daughter standing with a giant smile on her face holding the coolest packets of ketchup ever! Only this friend would know how much I would love these!! She told me that she saw these a week prior at a restaurant and was going to bring them to me then, but forgot. So when she went out with her daughter that afternoon she picked some up just for me!! You gotta to love her!! You can either dip or squeeze the ketchup out! Now that is innovative!! It was definitely the coolest thing that has happened to me that day! If you notice I said packets. Yes, she brought me two. In the pic there is only one for a reason. My darling daughter M. was fascinated with them when she arrived home from school and started to play with it. Unfortunately, she ended up squirting me all over with the other packet of ketchup. "Touche", I think is the correct term here!

Ha! I found those fun ketchup packets or dipping ketchup things or whatever they call them! So excited! Oh by the way...did you know that they make potato chip icecream? You can find it at Wally Mart. I thought of you and thought you might want to bring the ketchup bottle along to put over icecream!!! LOL

Maydra can I just say I MISS YOU!!! I've never seen this blog (or anyone's) before. I'm thinking of jumping into this century. I was thinking of starting a blog, which is funny since I don't even really know what one is, so I opened blogger & this shows up! You are so funny, creative & totally refreshing and I wish I was your next door neighbor/stalker. I know I'm the worst sister-in-law communicator ever but I SO love you! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
