Max and SAO, May 22, 2008, 20th Anniversary and UFOs
Posted By drsao on May 22, 2008
Here is my follow up report on the fate of my HEART HEAT BUDDY anniversary gift to Max.
Max loved it……he even CREATED a fake need for using it. It smelled so good warming in the microwave and it stayed warm for quite awhile. Now I need to make myself one, my daughter wants one, and my parents need one too! A new quiltville friend, Amanda, from the UK suggested using a small scented one for migraines (sounds good to me.) I am going to try to find both a lavendar and a rosemary plant so that I can dry them and then add to the rice – both of those aromas are fantabulous – oh yes, and in addition to the cinnamon, I must try cloves too!
What have I gotten myself into!!!! A simple little anniversary REVERSE APPLIQUE anniversary gift and now I am PLANNING an array of multi-fragranced HEAT BUDDIES. Now I will have quilt UFOs, HEAT BUDDY UFOs, and I am TRYING TO IGNORE the knitting UFOs lurking behind closed doors…..I think I have 3 sweaters and one afghan in various stages of completion, and a couple of crocheted rag rugs……..oh yes, and my scrapbooking UFOs for the grandangels pictures……..yes, I will have plenty to do for fun this summer.
Who said UFOs were a BAD THING anyway? I am going to declare it a sign of enhanced intelligence and creativity. I should do some research. I wonder if there is a correlation between number of UFOs and fantastic personalities. (I am starting to convince EVEN MYSELF! LOL)
Ok – so back to our 20th anniversary. 🙂 My daughter took a picture of us – and she got a close up of my new anniversary earrings….I LOVE hoops and the sparkly diamond chips in them aren’t bad either!
We had dinner at the HOT TAMALE and the dessert was the best part…..Max had flan and I had fried ice cream – the best that I have ever had….the ice cream was covered with coconut, chocolate syrup and was sitting on a fried flour tortilla sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
Fried ICE CREAM (or any kind of ice cream, for that matter) is on my LIST OF FAVORITE THINGS!
Here we are enjoying dinner!
I hope I didn’t gain 20 pounds at dinner tonight – but then I just had a few bites of each of those desserts and Max took care of the rest…..and even if I did gain 20 lbs, it was worth it! Life is too short not to celebrate once in while! I try to celebrate daily!!!!!
I’m so glad that Max enjoyed the present and that you had such a lovely evening together. Unfortunately, I can’t eat puddings because of the sugar, but I’m sure I gain extra pounds just drooling over other people’s, so go for it! I’ve decided not to have an UFOs – mine are all WIPs, it makes me feel much more productive and less negative about them – I’ve just put them to one side while I work on something more urgent!
