More than I expected




Just cause she's that cute


Today I finally logged into my work computer, only 63 unread messages, most of which were birthday wishes and congrats on my new job.  Then I went to the ortho and dang, that was not a pleasant surprise.  Double chains and new wires, I can barely eat soup.  WAH!  This better be gone by Thursday, my sis emailed me the menu and dang it's gonna be yummy.  We aren't a same old same old family and her new ideas sound great.

This evening I finally cleaned out my work van and piled it up in a corner.  Not too sure how much I'll need it once I start.  I hope I don't travel too much in my first year.  I also pulled out my Christmas lights.  Tomorrow's supposed to be chilly but 60 on Wednesday seems like perfect weather to get them all hung up.  I'm having a very hard time resisting the urge to just put it all up and be full on holiday!  It also dawned on me that I don't have to have a fake tree this year.  I could put up a real one!  I haven't done that in 9 years, maybe even longer.  I still think I want a fake one, I hate putting on lights.  I really want this one from Restoration Hardware.

I don't have a bunch of traditional ornaments.  I'm much more into ornate shiny sparkly glitter based trinkets.  I actually have a silver wire ornament hanger tree thingy that I normally put up.  And this year that might be all I put up.  Gotta save my pennies and a tree just doesn't seem like a necessary purchase this year.  I'm also going to start from scratch on what I want my decor to be, during the after Christmas sales.  I'm goodwilling all 3 trees (pink white and purple) I have and a bunch of misc things I don't love.  I'm following the mantra of having only things I love up in my home.  Makes decorating so much easier, and much more authentically me.  I think it's going to be white grey silver and sparkle!  So classic and clean to me.

Kinda wishing I'd brought in my tubs so I could be sorting while watching football.  It's ok though, I'll just keep watching yummy line backers hit people.
