Last Nov. SUNDAY @ the MSC

[springparrot]

So, today I didn't accomplish too much. I folded laundry while sitting on the bed. Call to doctor tomorrow figure out what's next with my back. It keeps 'popping' (and E can hear it), and I can barely walk in the morning.

But we had a tasty 'brinner' for dinner. My favorite foods.

Call from Mom tonight. (Thank goodness she doesn't have her own phone anymore. I don't miss the 5-20 calls a day).

1) New underwear would be greatly appreciated. I asked where they were going? I don't know. Well, be careful cause I've sent 30+ pairs in 2 months. More will be there tomorrow. "Oh, okay, thank you!". (actually sounded pretty good).

2) Need tissues. Reminded her there are 4 boxes under her sink, so she should be fine.

3) Would like more Skittles. Told her if she has eaten the entire bag I brought on Thursday, she's eaten too many, and we won't get any more. Yet.

4) "You're not gonna like this".. said she was throwing up after eating fruit when she got back to PeakView on Thursday. Told her it's not the fruit, she probably just ate WAY too much at Thanksgiving dinner. You're fine now. "I hope so".

5) Has to go "upstairs now to go to bed, and it's cold". Reminded her that the room was very warm when we were there a few days ago, and she'll be fine. It's plenty warm. (Her room USED to be upstairs from the 'common areas', and that's all she relates it to).

Overall she didn't really SOUND bad, just the usual complaints.

Had an early showing today, then went and cut down our tree. Just finished the decorating, well most of it. I still need to hang the garland and stockings on the banister. But I'm done for today! 2 glasses of Moose Milk while decorating has made me warm, fuzzy and full.

What's 'moose milk'? Eggnog?

Nope, not eggnog. Moose milk is like a frozen mudslide on steroids!!! SO yummy and we only have it during the Christmas season so it's a special treat. The original recipe makes a huge quantity for a punch bowl. Great for a party! But we have cut the proportions down to a manageable pitcher! It calls for Rum, Creme de Cocoa, Kahlua, milk, half n half. You drizzle the glass with choc syrup, put in a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, pour the Moose milk over the ice cream and top with freshly grated nutmeg.

Yum, that does sound good. Worked at a bar back in the day where they made frozen drinks like that and they tasted like Good Humor popsicles, like Chocolate Eclair - or with Amaretto was a toasted Almond, stuff like that. Delicious.

I’m not a chocolate “person” but I’m guessing for those that are this is heavenly.

There aren't too many people out there who don't like chocolate. I love it, but in very small quantities. I'm just curious what about it that you don't like?

Can’t pin point it but even as a kid my chocolate trick or treat Candy was still hanging around at Easter.
