Welcome, Olivia

We have a new member of the pink turkey household. She is a big softie with a firm core, has a bit of a muffin top, is an expensive date, and is a pain in the butt to get up the stairs.

Meet Olivia:



Olivia is now residing in my room. My old mattress -- un-named, by the way; we checked -- is now in Turkey's room. The Turkey's old mattress with coils poking through the fabric is hitch hiking its way to the county recycling center. I have it on good authority it will have a ride by 8 tomorrow morning.

While Turkey's old mattress waits for its ride we have been busy moving beds around, cleaning, washing dust ruffles and comforters, and generally getting ready for the first night with Olivia in the house. It is very safe to say the Turkey and I are both looking forward to tonight's journey to Dreamland on new and new-to-you beds.

Thanks to my parents for the early Christmas present for both of us! And welcome, Olivia. I sincerely hope you enjoy your new home.

P.S.  Um. When did mattress companies start naming their products?! Does anyone else find this just a tad bit weird?

Hi Jess!

Love to hear you are still making your famous Christmas CDs. I have two favorites to offer up. On the fun side - Elivs "Santa Claus is Back In Town." He rocks it! On the traditional side - O Holy Night. This is best sung by Bing Crosby or Aaron Neville.

Happy Holidays!

AIMEE!
Love those suggestions. There have been several shout outs for "O Holy Night" over on facebook so it sounds like it's a must for this year's mix. Look for it!

Hope things are going well in your world. We must catch up some time soon. Hugs! :-)
