I went shopping tonite for items to put in the bed rest survival kit. I was surprised at how little I really know my sister. Even something simple like candy should have been easy to pick out, but I really have no idea what she likes, other than bitching at people. But I stuck it out and got some decent stuff. Sometimes I hate that I enjoy giving gifts so much, because it’s so freaking expensive. Anyway, here’s what I got:

• War-Mart brand peanut butter cups and caramel cups (if she doesn’t like them she can send them back - I love these!)
• Learn to crochet kit
• white yarn
• weekly world news
• BOP magazine
• Big coloring and activity book
• Lisa Frank coloring book and pencil kit
• crossword puzzle and other puzzles book
• The Old 96er box of Crayola crayons
• pocket electronic solitaire game
• whoopie cushion
• headphones for the old discman I have
• beginner little bitty cross stitch kit and needles
• pregnancy magazine

There are still a few more things I want to get her that I couldn’t find at War-Mart. I need to go to the crap craft store to find the right colored yarn, all the colors they have a War-Mart are garish. The house is too small for Mia to have her own room right now, so her corner in my sister’s room will be soft pink, sage green and white. Also, I wanted to get Sis a few pampering items, bath stuff and the like. I’ll have to check out a few other stores for that. And I figured all great gifts need a card. Colorful Texan loves making cards, she’s got tons and tons of papers and stamps and stuff, so she’s gonna make a card for me to give to Sis.

And for the rest of the stuff, my mom is going to put together a Baby Shower in a Box for Sis. Since we are all poor and can’t travel, shipping the party is the only way she’ll get one. Mom will include things like a baby book, scrapbooking materials, and practical things like bottles, binkies, outfits, etc. Between me and mom, we should be able to keep Sis from bitching too much during the next 3 months.
