My folks always give their children a little $$ at Christmas that I call my "fun money." It goes for clothing or anything else I want, and I make it stretch - sometimes most of the year! I have wanted a triangular pie server for years, and a rubber spatula, and I always like new dishtowels, so got all of that last week, as well as several pairs of shoes. (Sounds pretty mundane, I know, but hey - it's me.) I love the fun money from Dad and Mom!
A couple of other things:
My Christmas present. It might not seem like a very romantic gift, but if you could have heard the sounds the old one (20+ years) was making, you'd know that life is much quieter and nicer around here now!
The blanket I made Mike for Christmas. He's taken quite an interest in the Gamecocks the past two years. Fleece is so easy to work with - it doesn't take long to sew up, and it makes a wonderfully warm blanket.

Hey Ann. I laughed at your wanting a pie server. Everytime the kids are home and I have a desert to serve, I say "sure wish I had a pie server instead of this square one that just makes a mess" and Angela always says "why don't you just get one!" I think you've just inspired me to go get one. Problem is, I won't think of it again until next time I have pie to serve! --Ada
A dishwasher is a great gift! We depend on them so much, it's a pain when they're showing signs of running down.
I always have mixed emotions about vacation being over -- glad in one way, wistful in another.
I'm not so sure about that blanket. Shouldn't it be orange :)? Love reading your blog. Happy new year. I should post something soon....one of this days!
I hear you, Carrie--I've got mixed feelings myself! Throw in that "Roll Tide" background from my childhood and I'm really conflicted!
