Today was full of little to-dos. Took the first steps towards getting blinds on the upstairs windows. Did some minor cleaning up.
Got Steelers Scarf II and Jaywalker Scarf II blocking
Got bothered by door-do-door religion saleswomen (THEM: we’d like to share something positive from the Bible. ME: No thanks)Put out a holiday decoration or two
Yep. Just 15 days until Christmas. Hard to believe!
Went out with my mom and acquired a Christmas tree … our first one! It’s the first time we’ll spend the holiday in the city where we live, so there really wasn’t a reason to get one before now
It’s still naked. It’s busy slurping up water, “relaxing” and drying (it’s been raining here for about 36 hours). I’ll start putting lights on it tomorrow and Scrooge and I (uh, I mean the Hubster and I) plan to decorate tomorrow night.
But the outdoor decorations are up and running
My grandfather made that Santa. My sister-in-law got it “restored” about two years ago and after a year’s hiatus, he’s back on the front porch roof here.
Oh, and I’m through the leg on my first no-purl Monkey sock in Yarn Love. I need to tink a round and a half because I thought I was through five repeats, not six. Oh well.
In other news, I burned the crap out of my tongue on dinner … not the tip like you’d do on hot chocolate, but the middle. It was lasagna. Good (frozen) lasagna but, obviously, too hot. What to do to make it feel better?
Eat ice cream, of course! So I went downstairs (it lives in the downstairs freezer so it’s not so convenient. Helps with the self restraint). It’s not as good as the similar composition Panda Paws I can get at the Lake (what would you expect from something partnered with the Pirates? Excellence?), but it’s made by Hagan and that family is OK with me b/c they had excellent taste in homes/architects. Anyhoo, my bowl of ice cream came back upstairs with me, and now I’m mildly ill because I’ve eaten too much.
But my tongue feels better!

What, you didn't want to put lights on a wet tree? Party pooper.
I can't believe Christmas is only 15 days away, too! Tom hasn't had to worry about stores in his new job so things have been way less stressful, but it's still flying right by!
I certainly hope the Pirates ice cream was better than the Pirates!
Have fun decorating your tree!
We must be channeling the same pixies or something...I didn't burn my tongue on lasagne but did set up the tree minus lights over the weekend (the kids decorated yesterday) and am also on monkeys. Go figure!
laydwwu
Someday I'll have a real tree of my own. But for now, I'll settle for a bouquet of broken limbs from other trees. It's kinda cute.
