Dear Secret Santa-

I got my gift today. It is awesome, and I love it. However, since I have a cold at the moment and have barely gotten out of bed today, you'll have to give me a day or two for the requested modeling pictures.

I had all intentions to post a pic of me wearing my new awesome inflatable dino outfit that my Santa got me, but I've been sick the last 8 days mostly in bed coughing and running a low fever, and honestly I don't want to infect it. lol Since I can't post a pic of me wearing it right now, here it is with some of my JP dino stuff. My Santa also got me the cutest hatching dino ever, and I didn't realize it until much closer to Christmas when the giant pile of Amazon boxes at my house was searched looking for empty boxes to wrap presents, as it somehow snuck past me one day. So THANK YOU to my Santa, it did get here and I love them both, and I'm so sorry for the delayed pics. I promise once I'm literally back up and running that I'm putting that thing on and stomping around the house.

I am NEVER sick but have been helping babysit my little niece/nephew lately so my sister could do holiday shopping stuff, and thanks to their germs I got a little cold last month then whatever the heck this is since last Wed. My dad was around them at Christmas and now has the flu. I’m supposed to be “on vacation” until next Wed using the PTO I would otherwise lose, so at least I am not having to work and can rest, but being able to do nothing is pissing me off. Especially when I have a dino costume to try, got new dino stuff to redecorate my JP room, and bought myself one of those plastic 9 foot T Rex skeletons that Home Depot had for Halloween once they went 75% off. It needs to be in my backyard already. Go away damn sickness so I can play dress up.

Well it wasn’t me in the suit, but I wish it had been. A coworker/friend’s son absolutely loves JP and has been to my house once about 5 years ago to see the pins and dino room, and still remembers more about my stuff than I do. His Bar Mitzvah was yesterday and he wanted it all JP themed, and I couldn’t be there but sent some JP stuff for them to borrow. These are a few of the pics I got, and thought I would share.

It’s been raining so much it has flooded my city, but if it will ever dry out a little so I can work in my garden, I’ll post pics of my little dino egg statue, 9’ tall rex skeleton, and me in the suit in my dino-themed garden.
