DD gave to me a neck/shoulder messager. IT's soft and cuddly. Ive used it and it works beautifully.


What did you receive for Christmas that you could put right to use?

I got three sets of Q sheets for a bed that is being made for us. One set (fm SO's mother) is lavender jersey. One from my mom has sock monkeys on ivory flannel. The third from SO is extra soft German flannel in sage. They all match each other and I have extra pillow cases. And, SO gave me a Q mattress cover.

Also:
Good chocolate.

Good coffee.

Grocery store gift cards: Trader Joe's and local grocery.

And PJ's from Mom.

All useful.

I had an inkling that yours would be another gadget. Is the ipad mini anything like the maxi?

OK finished making fun, sorry Erin, couldn't resist.

I think I'm a little late o this. I got my Sleep number bed!!!!!! Sometimes when I get out of bed in the morning my sheets and blanket were all over. Now the bed is practically made when I get out cause I didn't move much!

I received and mother's ring, with the birth stone of both kids and our anniversary. It is on the opening heart charm.

I havent noticed much difference in the iPad Mini from the iPad3. The screen is different. (iMini has the same screen as the iPad2 did, it's basically a smaller version of the iPad2). I compared the video on the iMini to the iPad3 that I got earlier this summer, and I really cant tell the difference other than maybe brightness.

I love the size of the iMini tho. It's what I was hoping for in size and capability when I got the Kindle Fire last year. (I may be selling the Kindle Fire...or giving it to a relative). The iMini fits in my purse (oh, also got a new purse for Xmas). I knew the iMini was coming, so I bought a really nice blue leather cover for it. Really love the cover and the iMini. I really like the iMini for reading. I've actually finished a couple of Kindle books that I hadnt been able to get interested in for awhile.

My hands are still numb from that flare I had earlier this summer, and the weight of my iPad3 was kind of annoying. I always had to sit the iPad3 on a table or my desk to get any reading done because of the weight. The iMini is nice and light and easier on my hands to hold. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
