A Surprise In The Mail And I Think I Am Addicted To Ice !!!

My bff sent me an email the other day and she called herself my *fairy godmother*.  She said I should look for a surprise on Tuesday (today).  She does this to me on occasion and there's no stopping her.  She flat out told me not to try to tell her to stop because she would do what she wanted to do and that was that!  She is such a sweetheart and so very thoughtful.  I love her for that but I would love her even if she didn't surprise me with her gifts.

Today she sent me the Amope Pedi Perfect that I had wondered about until I found out how expensive they were (for me it was expensive).  She sent me the rechargeable one so that I don't even have to buy batteries for it.  I damn near cried when I took it out of the package.  It came with a partial charge so you could try it out without waiting what might be hours for it to charge.  I am so touched by this, I can't even describe it.  I had found a knockoff at a much cheaper price that would do the trick (but in two steps since the primary roller was much coarser so it required a second roller with a finer grain to smooth things out).  I guess I will give that one to Cee now since she has some spots that could use it she told me.  That way, Cee won't have to buy one for herself which I think she was considering.

I made our dinner tonight.  It was from a recipe that I saw on FB.  Shrimp and pasta baked in an Alfredo sauce and topped with fresh parmesan cheese.  I know that seems like overkill since the sauce itself is made up of fresh parmesan cheese but it was delicious.  I used penne pasta for it but that was perfect.  The salad was kind of overkill....LOL.  We both were so full that there was no snacking later on.

BUT....I did get myself a large glass of ice after dinner.  Our ice is shaped like little canoes and sometimes the cubes break when dropped into the bin.  I like to gather up as much of the broken ones as I can because those are faster to dissolve.  As they get smaller, I love to crunch them.  I find myself filling up glass after glass every night.  If my glass gets empty, I just hate it and I have to go fill it up again.  Some of it melts and I drink that when I finish with each glass of ice.  I have no idea how I can convert the ice into volume of water consumed but I tell myself that I am just *keeping hydrated*....LOL.  I just hope this is a summer thing since my computer room isn't air conditioned and does get rather warm.  But I worry....can you become addicted to eating ice?  **Hi!  My name is Bratsis and I am addicted to ice.** LMAO!

Time for bed for me.  Love you all.  I hope you have sweet dreams and peaceful days.  ***Hugs***
