Wow, I just finished listing the Holiday Activities and gifts (below). EEK! How did Christmas get so hectic? Next year, just take me dancing or to karate/kung fu lessons ...then feed me cause I'll need some tasty treats afterwards. How about a nice massage and day at the spa. I could float around in the hot tub.. like fat lady soup, and get chow ming to paint my toes. Put some cucumbers on my face and try not to eat them. "Where's the ranch? Who's got the carrots?" Sit in the mud and wonder if the person before me was a man and be grosed-out at the thought that he was just in here blowing mud bubbles. OK! I can live without that...anyway Christmas was good but now I'm zonked. There should be a "Recover and Relax Day" who's with me?

Thank you
megiloth for the awesome gifts. I fear
adonijah74 has been enjoying your gift too much, diabetics aren't suppose to have too much caffeine (circulation/heart disease and all) but good coffee might be worth losing a foot (who cares...it's not MY foot) *insert evil laugh here*
More importantly, thank you for your gift of friendship. You are a true friend, and that's harder to find than a Wii ;P
