Toy donation solutions, KeeKee, me...

Christmas Donations:
Toy donation problem solved!  Thanks to  Flyingwolf on LJ,  Brian will be donating to http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ !!! Sick kids stuck in the hospital for Christmas surely will appreciate those video games plenty.  Being sick sucks.  Being so sick you're in the hospital at a young age during the holidays?  Well that's just beyond sucky so YaY to giving something to those kids.   I suggest you all do the same, donate to some charity this Christmas.  If you're a gamer at all, the above is the way to go I think, since it was started to disprove the whole video games make people violent assholes stereotypes.  They have certain hospitals they work with but are in more than one country.

KeeKee:
Now on to a more personal kid and Christmas issue... My lovely nephew KeeKee... Even though he still gets an attitude when he's alone with his mommy too much, overall he's a good kid and mom tells me he's doing so well in his first year of school that the teacher has to give him EXTRA work so he doesn't get bored because he isn't getting stuck where other kids are.  I always knew he was smart but this amazes me as his mom spent no time trying to prepare him for school.  Excelling despite having a mom that didn't really try to teach him anything = I want to get him something special as a reward, something beyond the normal toy, something that will keep making him feel accomplished.

His only consistent love since day one of his life has been cars but that seems a little mindless and overdone as THEE gift to give Keegan.  Mom suggested blocks because he liked building stuff with them, but she could easily afford and sneak into the house a tub of generic legos or other building blocks. 

I told mom I was considering an inexpensive kids guitar. Mom said she'd considered that too so I think I am on the right track.   I think I found one on Amazon.  I found $100 ones, too much $$ if he doesn't like it.  I found $20 ones, YaY cheap but a lot of people say it's more toy than guitar and he's had toy instruments, I want to see if he really wants to play or not.  I think a $40 one I found might be the answer.

My Day:
As for me... Brian's car prob is solved.  It was the battery, they tested it and it's definite that was all it was, so he had a new one installed today and we went grocery shopping but have to go shopping again Tuesday for his Thanksgiving pizza.  In the TMI Department, when your period makes your MS way worse you shouldn't make jokes about how "oh look it's a holiday week and I think my period is due next week, so it will come early to ruin the holiday".   Apparently that is the one time my body actually LISTENS to me.  Needless to say today was a VERY lazy and sore day,  about all I did  (besides grocery shopping and looking for Keegan present ideas) was find out that one of my IJ friends dyed his hair pink today not knowing I did mine yesterday.  Tomorrow must be crafty.

♥ Ik hou van jullie allemaal ♥
