Day 1 of December

Maybe I am on a roll. It's my first blog of December, and it's only the 2nd day of December. I am so not ready for Christmas. I haven't even finished my Christmas cards yet; but the good news is, I have started them.

The past few days have been a blur. I think this is the first night where I have actually been home and not have to had gone somewhere. Having said that, Patrick just called. He took my car to his soccer practice. Now he is sitting in the parking lot and he can't get the remote to work. Of course his first phone call is too me. We try and figure out what is wrong - doesn't work; so we get Bill on the phone to make suggestions; he does; the remote still doesn't work. Ok, I say, I'll jump in the car and bring over the other remote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wait - stop--- you've got my car and I can't drive the others! One part of my brain is thinking - Oh, no, Bill's going to have to interrupt what he's doing (fixing his computer) and the other half of my brain is thinking (yeah, I don't have to change out of my PJ's.) I hope Santa only heard the first part of my brain!



So I thought, good time to get something down in the blog.

Bill celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday. I believe they had a little celebration at work. Somehow a picture of Bill in his bodybuilding "attire" got circulated at work. Not sure how they got a hold of that............................ They also presenting him with a valuable bottle of tequila. He was pretty happy when he got home! Not sure if it was from the party or the tequila.

We still haven't gotten any further with the Christmas Tree. Bill took it out to the garage Sunday to make a stand for it. Now I know Christmas is not his favorite holiday, but if I didn't know that, I do now. The stand works great - but I wish I could draw a picture so you could see it.

K, that's my picture. I hope it posts as well as I drew it. The x's are the tree (pretty simple) The 0's are the tree stand Bill built, out of wood and covered in wrapping paper. Now, don't get me wrong, I do appreciate it. (the other option was just throw out the stupid tree) But when I hear the word Christmas stand, the image that comes to my mind it something much smaller and based from the base of the tree. It certainly does look better than hanging from the ceiling; and it certainly is straight; and I'm pretty sure it's not going to fall over!!!! Ok, I take back any complaints - I got my optic tree!!!! Now how to figure out how to store it after Christmas.

Well, tomorrow is Friday, and I'm covering for Beth, so I'll be at the preschool tomorrow; then I'm going to take a visit to the cemetery. It is one year since Mom Wee passed away. I could sure use some of her mother-in-law advice.........

Good night, I'm off to work on those Christmas cards.
