What’s The Last Thing You Got As A Gift That Really Excited You? – #TQOTD

So for Christmas this year Alicia got me a riding mower. Now I must say this is something I have really really wanted for awhile but have been to cheap to get it. With the year we had last year … her breaking her collar bone, Covid and of course the big one Connie passing she decided it was the perfect time. With Mother’s Day and Father’s day coming up I thought this could be fun.

TEXT QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What’s the last thing you got as a gift that really excited you? Why?

• A dozen eggs from a friend’s chickens. Because they are organic and tasty! I used some to make my daughter’s birthday cake last weekend.
• A 65inch tv lol

• Keurig Machine
• A diamond heart in motion necklace from my husband, for our 30th anniversary.
• An antique instrument known as a Concertina. It was handmade in Germany in the 1890s!! My mom found it and gave it to me as a 23rd birthday gift. It still sounds beautiful! It's a wonderful thing to pick up new hobbies while lonely during Covid.
• A rock from one of my daycare kids. Best present ever....
• Framed wedding pictures from my daughters wedding!!!!!
• My family is stuck in quarantine. Today I finally had a mental breakdown with more tears than I've ever cried. I was right in the middle of this when my neighbor drove by, knocked on the door and left. I composed myself after crying for 20 minutes. I opened the door and she had left a bouquet of tulips on my doorstep. I texted her and told her her timing was perfect. All she said was " your welcome, call it mom's intuition" it was so thoughtful and came at the perfect time.

• Best gift was on Easter of this year....I finally got to see my grandson who had been kept away from me as I guess I ticked off the parents and the last time I had seen him was last July. And we only live 5 blocks away from each other
• The last gift I got that I was excited about was my Abercrombie 8 perfume. I love this perfume and have been buying it since 99, but it's so expensive I only want it as a gift lol. So I get it for Christmas from my fiance or his mom.
• My sister gave me a subscription to Sketch Box so every month I get a box in the mail with new and unique art supplies to create a small piece of art. They provide you an example of how to use the supplies and a list of everything on the box. It is awesome!!!! And I get it every month!

• My friend and also my boss gave me a balloon animal toy Totally caught me off guard causing laughter and red face when I saw what it was! But, yup, last really good gift
• My wife bought me a portable drink and food smoker. It is this little dome that you put over food and smoke it up. Gives me the heebie jeebies talking about it. Christine and Steve would prolly use it as a sweet space helmet bong thing. Which really wouldn’t be a bad idea.
