Red Rudolph

Have you thought about Rudolph in awhile?  Since it’s been a whole month since Christmas, probably not.

Well, I thought about him today.  Why?  Here, let me show you.

Melinda, the red nosed dear

 

Is my nose blinking and glowing?   Or is that just me?

If you think toilet paper is all the same, and why bother paying more?  Just remember the lesson of my nose.  It knows! the difference between soft and scratchy toilet paper.   (Why was I blowing my nose with toilet paper?  I had already “blown” through all the Kleenex.   Bwahahaha, I crack myself up!!   3 outta 4 selves agree, that I’m the funniest of them all!  Me, myself, and I agree.  Melinda is the odd (wo)man out.)

Don’t let the quilting fool you:  All tps are NOT created equal!!

 

The one is soft, and soothing.   The other feels like I’m using sandpaper to buff out my face.

Are the swirls the softest??

 

 

Now, if I can just remember which is which, BEFORE I scrape off my nose to spite my face!!

Tilt-a-whirl

I just had the sickening feeling of the world tilting on its axis.  Horrible feeling!  Anchored to nothing, about to spin out into space!  Anxiety riding high!  Whatever in the world is wrong??  What’s happening??  Questions churning through my mind, even as my body is spinning in chaos…..

I quickly ran thru scenarios in my brain…..

Ahhh- that’s it!  I haven’t seen PP in over 24 hours!

what IS that HAIRY thing down there??? Oh, whew, it’s only my leg….

 It was grand baby withdrawals!  Baby DTs are nothing to sneeze at!!

But, now that I can rest assured I’m not dying, and the world isn’t ending…. (at least not this minute)……

I take a deep breath, and repeat after myself, “It’s okay. I saw her 30 hours ago, and I will see her again soon.  I will see her again soon.”

A comforting chorus of “PP loves me so much!!!”  softly playing in the background, lulls me off back to sleep, with a contented smile on my face.

Of course I sleep sitting up!  Don’t you??  Oh alright, I admit it.  I adapted these photos that I’d taken for something else.

Pudding Pop’s Playful Pastimes

PP loves to come to my house.  Whenever I visit her, she asks, “Howzz, howzz?”   (And who can blame her??? I’m an awesome Omie!!!  If I do say so myself, who shouldn’t!!)

And, I love to have her!

One of her favorite activities:

Playing with rocks!  When DD1 told me that, I couldn’t believe it!  But it’s true!

Picking them out of the garden, throwing them,

hiding them,

The Hidey Hole

Sleeping (!!!) with her pet rock!  No pix of this, because she was in the bed with me, as I was trying my best to sleep too!  In a twin bed!!  But here’s the rock.  At least it is smooth, and no one ended up with a goose egg!  Yay!

Night-night lovey

More of her favorites: Taking a bath.  A daily must do!!

Enjoying herself at children’s Museum.

Picking perfect periwinkle posies.

Purple Periwinkles

 

Ring around the rosie, with a pole as partner.

Decorating Omie:

Decorating Omie

I’m a more than willing canvas!

 Chalking a masterpiece.

And last but not least:

Eating is an all time favorite!

No pix of that either, since it would require showing her face.  DD1 nixes that for security reasons.  I certainly understand after hearing some horror stories.

Hope you enjoyed seeing how my precious plays!
