Mexican Christmas Gloves

As you saw in my previous post, we’ve had a mighty cold snap here. I needed to find a pair of gloves. Any of you who have children will know that they lose a lot of gloves. So when I went on the Great Glove Hunt I found one infant mitten and one black glove with no thumb.

So I had to buy a new pair.

The ones I got have these little rubber appliques on one side, which are supposed to make them “non-slip”. The little rubber dots do help grip the steering wheel, but they feel really creepy.

So I show the gloves to Husband, and tell him that the tiny knobs on them feel weird. Without missing a beat (clever devil that he is) he says, “They’re your Mexican Christmas gloves.”

I give him the blank, blonde stare.

Then he said (and I totally fell over laughing) “Yeah, Feliz Knobby Dots”.

I hope all of you had a joyous Christmas! Sending you best wishes for a fabulous New Year!

Ice, Ice Baby

Just a quick post to update all my blog buddies.

We got a fair amount of ice but not as bad as many areas. Here’s a couple of pictures - - our driveway,

Ice Storm Driveway

and my car.
Marti's PT Cruiser

One of the nicest and smartest people on the Internet is Susan Reynolds, and she recently discovered she has a very aggressive form of breast cancer. She is blogging about it at Boobs On Ice. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Her friends are supporting her through the Frozen Peas campaign (a bag of frozen peas applied to tender areas provides soothing relief) so if you see my avatar or other folks on twitter, and we have pea-brains (or eyes, backgrounds, or some other photoshop magic to include peas in our photo) you’ll know that we’re thinking of Susan and sending her our love.

Hope this finds all of you well - looking forward to the time when I can write again and visit all of you!

Hugs and love, peas and joy,
Marti

Silly Christmas Redeux

Hi there! I hope all of you are doing well. Things are better here, and again, I thank all of you for your love and support. Still very busy with helping grandma out with the eBay stuff, so I’m re-running a post I wrote last year. Hope it gives you a smile - one of the best gifts!

I got a laugh from Christmas yard decorations gone awry. Saw a Santa and reindeer, made of solid molded plastic, in front of a house. The wind had blown Santa over though, and he was lying across the back of the reindeer, Since he was unbalanced, the wind rocked him back and forth. It gave the appearance of Santa gettin’ it on, deerie-style.

Furthermore, there is a large inflatable snow globe thing down in town that has made me laugh for weeks now.

Inside the inflated clear plastic spheroid (thank you Thesaurus - lol) is an inflated white snowman. There is an air pump that circulates fake snow, to give the appearance of a real snow globe. Except they set it on a bit of a slope, so the pump doesn’t spew the white flakes up to the top of the clear outer globe, but instead spurts them out about butt-high of the snowman. He looks like he has severe flatulence. We absolutely roar with laughter every time we go by it. We even laugh when we see properly working ones, just thinking of Farting Frosty.

I am easily amused.

And just for giggles, here are the latest additions to my funny t-shirts:

Happiness can’t buy money

Subliminal Message Experiment

Too subtle? There’s a lot more at my Cafe Press Shop - check ‘em out!

And don’t forget that books make a great gift!

Let’s see, is there anything in the universe I forgot to plug? LOL!

So…have any of you seen some funny Christmas stuff?
