We have a
tree!! After being married for five years, this will be the first time we’ve
actually really done Christmas. Launie has always had Christmas spirit, it’s me
who cringes at holiday music and silly figurines of Santa. This year though,
something has changed…and dare I say, I think I like it?
We ordered
our tree online and it came yesterday. No, I don’t want to be one of those
people who decorates before Thanksgiving, but we set it up to make sure all the
lights worked, and as you can see, they did! However, after all the effort it
took fanning out all those little branches, the last thing we want to do is
stuff it back in the box for a couple weeks and start over. So now it’s sitting
in the corner where it will remain until it’s time to decorate. Eeek! I’m
actually really excited about this.
While I have
always preferred real over plastic trees, this one is special. It’s not the
pretty little lights or the pretty white color, but the fact that it’s ours.
Mushy, I know, but I actually don’t care. J
Today we
bough some ornaments. Not much, just a few. Some will go onto the tree, and
others will become decorations.
I’m not big
into crafts…in fact, I’m really not into crafts at all, but there are a few
things I want to do this season to pretty things up. I’ll post them up here so
we can all laugh together as I potentially mess them up! OR, maybe I won’t mess
them and they will be stunning! We’ll see.
Last night
Launie and I went into the basement and recovered some old Christmas things
that have been sitting on a shelf collecting dust. We’re going to go through it
to determine what, if any of it is usable.
In other
news, our last book report is due tomorrow, and I have got to start thinking of
tackling my final project. For one of my classes, it’s all about me…now how to
do this without boring people to death….I figure, if nothing else, it will at
least be funny.
Speaking of
funny, before I get off here for the night, here’s a picture of my pretty white
kitty with lipstick on his head. HIS fault, not mine.
