It's Beginning To Feel Alot Like Christmas

I have been SO busy, as I guess everyone is this time of year.  Brent just returned last night from a five day hunting trip to northern Illinois.  Let me tell you, I used that opportunity to get my house SUPER organized (my husband is a bit of a slob, so it is not easy to do when he is around ).  I cleaned the house from top to bottom and got caught up on ALL the laundry.  My biggest feat, however, was FINALLY getting all of my Christmas stuff organized.  I had stuff scattered all over the basement - didn't know what I had, didn't have, needed, etc.  I spent Sunday afternoon organizing everything , labeling those big storage containers, and assesssing what I had and what I needed.  It is our first Christmas in a new house, and I plan on going crazy with the Chrismas decorating. We have a shop here called Old Tim Pottery, which is bascially a big floral and home decorating warehouse - and quickly becoming my new favorite store.  Luckily, it is about a five minute drive from my office, so I have been spending quite a few lunch hours there.  Today, I bought a 7.5 foot prelit pencil tree and enough white lights to string all over our front porch.  I plan to spend Thanksgiving night putting the tree up and decorating the house. I am taking the day off Friday to do the marathon shopping (beginning at 5:00 am - this is my first year to do this, and may end up being my last - will update on that later LOL). 

Oh well, more later....

 

P.S.  Those damn ads are SO annoying!!!!
