KOOL@ID BE DAMNED!!!!!!!!

My great Aunt Jan (Grandma's younger sister) and I had a rather long talk last night. It's funny, yet bittersweet, how well my grandmother is keeping us posted on who needs someone. For example, last Thursday, Aunt Jan called me. She said that something was telling her all day to call me and she finally decided to call and see how I was doing. Well, I told her, not great because it was my first Thursday without her. She admitted she didn't understand. Well, that was my day with Grandma, every week, for the last six months. OOOOOHHHH!!! NOW she got it!

Yesterday, I had a little voice telling me to call HER. So, I did. She was NOT having a good day. Everyone keeps calling her to make them laugh and perk them up. While she is the best person on the planet for such a task, her love cup needs to be refilled too (a quote straight from Grandma Barb: "My love cup is getting low, can you refill it?" Thus, you gave her hugs. *sniff sniff*). So, I refilled Aunt Jan's love cup last night. And we had FUN!

This is where the red devil in liquid form comes in to play.

My kids KNOW that they are not allowed to have drinks of ANY kind outside the borders of the kitchen unless there is a lid on said drinks. She followed the lid part. However..... there was no stopper in the lid that she chose. I now have a HUGE red stain on the carpet in front of the tv! And it's not just in the middle of the carpet. Oh no. It's right up against my 5,000,000 pound entertainment center where I can't get the carpet cleaner close enough (even with the hand tools) to get it out!!! UGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh no! This sounds bad! Keep it wet until you can get to it. That's all I have...

Make a special plan for Thurs. Fill up your own love cup.

Folex Carpet Spray!! Spray and aggitate with fingers. I don't know if it works on red, but it worked on Soy Sauce on my white carpet. I got it at T@rget. I can't believe Mimi didn't suggest it . . . she recommended it to me!
