Good morning everyone! It is hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner. We are considering a new artificial tree this year too. I had a pre lit one and I hated the thing so much that I gave it away when I moved. Since Ken and I have been together we have always had real trees. We have so little space that the tree has to be a perfect size. We saw a slim one at Sams Club and are considering that. The problem with the lighted one (well 1 of the problems) was I had kittens in the house and the would climb up the center of the thing and chew through the wires. I went through alot of green electricians tape!
Don't you just love the way cats can chase tree ornaments through the house??!! Two years ago I bought a package of 100 plastic, but look like glass, at Sams for $35! I swear pets are like having toddlers in the house!!
I haven't pulled out my Christmas CD yet! A few years ago Raymond and Ken bought me the Twisted Sister Christmas! Unless you came of age in the 80's you probably wouldn't appreciate it, but I love it!
We were watching TV a few days ago and could not believe all the Christmas commercials already! Its insane. I really could just skip Christmas but dear hubby loves it! We found out yesterday that my in-laws will be in New Mexico for the holiday. I want to go with them!! But no< we will haul everything to the "city" an hour away to stay in my SIL crowded little house with their 4 kids and a whole bunch of her husbnads family and tons of people we don't know.
I am just not a crowd person. Drives me nuts and stresses me out! I guess I can't complain though. We only have Raymond every other year and he would rather be wioth his cousins instead od home with just us. Besides last year we din,t go anywhewre and of course Raymond was gone so we had naked Christmas!!
Well thats what we told everyone that asked us! We just lazed around the house all day and Ken cooked crab and a scallop pasta dish. It was wonderful, and quiet!!
NY it sounds to me like your daughter had a trick up her sleeve by letting your hen set while you were gone!!
Thats pretty funny! All the homless would upset and scare me at the same time. It is sad and frustrating all in one. You can't help but wonder how they ended up there. Unfortunatley though with this economy alot of people are just a paycheck away from the streets. With Raymond medical bills we ran into major $ trouble and are extrememly lucky that our land is family owned and my FIL is understanding. Had we skipped payments to the bank we would not have been homless but we could not have stayed here.
The DR finally called yesterday afternoon. Raymond is to start back on the seizure med today and see the a neouroligist as soon as possible. We will see whichever one can get us in the soonest. They said it probablly was a seizure but it is odd that he would have one this late in the game. It was more likley to happen in the first year which is why he came home on the medication. The good news is Raymond feels fine and is his smiley mischevious self!!
Well I need to get to the shop and process a deer! Catch up with you later!!
