Ice Cream Cone Bowl

That Aunt Dot is always finding cool stuff in the grocery store. This time, she came up with ice cream cone bowl from p*blix. Literally, its a bowl made out of ice cream cone. T loves it and it's a lot less messy than a normal cone.


In other news, my mother had another audiologist appointment today. Every week we go and they turn up the volume. No turning it up today, though.

Q: What happens when you give a woman with short term memory loss a $1,200 hearing aid?

That's right, she loses it. Sigh. After only 3 weeks. Against all doctors orders, she's been wrapping the thing in kleenex when she takes it out. I think it got thrown away, just like the doc warned. Luckily, these units have an "insurance type" plan with them. We'll be getting a new one for only 300.00...a comparative bargain.

My new plan...you knew I had one...is to get about 3 more hearing aid boxes, then go to office max and buy a lable maker, and label each box "Hearing Aid Box", so that she'll remember what its for. I plan on putting one near her bed, one in the bathroom, one next to her chair in the fla room, etc.

Hopefully, the next one will last more than 3 weeks.

UPDATE: Just went into the kitchen to discover that I forgot to put the yummy bryers ice cream back in the fridge. It was a soupy mess...that I promptly dropped and that promptly spilled all over the counter.

Just the perfect way to set off the day.
