Family Matters

Positive Thinking

In all the hoopla of our health-challenged holiday (I heart alliteration), I failed to tell you about some of the great Christmas gifts I received. Steve spoiled me rotten and went with a “Pimp My Ride” theme and bought me a seat warmer and a new stereo for the van (at present my ride only rocks an AM radio that cuts out when I drive behind a mountain). My parents know that what I like more than anything is money, so they got me some great gift cards for me to spend as I please. And I was showered with some really nice jewellery, scrapbooking paraphernalia and clothes from the rest of the family members.

The best gift I received on Christmas morning was something a little more special, however. I wish I had a picture of it, but I threw it in the garbage after I peed all over it. It looked a little something like this:
