Man, I’m having a damn good morning, and this is how:
- Drop children off at school early.
- Go to Morning Becomes Eclectic, find a good band, listen while carrying on with following steps (damn, the internet is nice. Right now, I’m downloading something for the Biscuit, working via my little bluetooth headset of doom, typing this, and listening to streaming audio… i digress).
- Do sit ups while logged into work.
- Fix eggs (2), grits (1/3 cup cooked), toast (2 pieces), milk (1 cup)
- Take shower
- Eat said breakfast.
- Drink two (2) cups coffee.
- Write about how nice it is.
Not sure what comes next, but in about 15 minutes I’m going to see Pigpen’s class sing, and thats’ going to be pretty fun. Later today we might FINALLY get a tree, although I think I’ll be lazy and just get it locally rather than head over and kill the tree myself at Skunk Ridge. Man, I really don’t like this whole Christmas decoration thing. Last year, our tree sat out in the backyard until March. We’re those kind of people.
Well, I am.

One year our x-mas tree stayed on our porch until June. We are those kind of people too.

Bos and I are total holiday nerds. We go all out. Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, garlands, lights, music. Granted, by December 26, I’m totally ready to get rid of everything, but I enjoy the Christmas spirit while it lasts.

I have left lights ups before until WAY into the summer. I claimed it was because my young dtr loved them so much. I truth it was because I am lazy, but there was another year I took the tree down on Xmas Eve because I was tired of looking at it and wanted to vacuum under it. Hey, do those two even each other out? Cool.
BTW, don’t worry about us judging you. It’s your ‘tumor and we are just trolling. Vent away. It’s better than taking a gun down the McDonald’s and shooting up the place. People need to understand that sometimes somebody just needs to vent.

Nice to have you back. I don’t like decorating for Christmas any more. I used to like it when I was a kid, but I think it was because I associated it with the imminent receipt of nifty presents. (And Mimi’s perennial gift of sheets). I do like the smell of pine trees, though

We are that kind too. You are not alone. ;) We went to a holiday band concert at school last night, and it brought a surprising amount of cheer - I hope your son’s show does the same for you. :)

Last year, I finally got my husband to cut up the xmas tree in July and burn it in the outside firepit…it burned in 2.2 seconds.

Glad you are back (for purely selfish reasons…of course) in whatever shape/form you need to be.
Holiday spirit? Bah humbug.

WTF? What about the your orange, AT? Think of the oranges, man, the oranges!!!
December 13th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
You mean that Christmas decorations aren’t supposed to stay up until April?
December 13th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Sorry, this doesn’t fit in with Christmas trees (except as a gift under one) or oranges, but kind of fits with computer stuff. I was going to email you this site, but can’t find the link for your email. Oh well. Have you seen wiiwehaveaproblem.com?

We didn’t decorate this year. We’re not decorating this year, either.
BAH HUMBUG!

Blonde alert!!!
My comment should’ve said:
“We didn’t decorate LAST year. We’re not decorating this year, either.”

Glad your back!!!!!!!!!!!

We decorated although we didn’t do it last year. It is helping this year. Each ornament on the tree has special meaning this year.

I’m glad you are having good moments and totally relate on the xmas decorating…hence my blog (sorry to use the B word)

We recycle our trees here in Louisiana. They toss them off the coast into the Gulf to TRY TO PRESERVE the coastal wetlands that protect Louisiana. As many of you know, without our coastal wetlands, things like KATRINA come and plow us down. As happened. No La. coast, no protection, no safety. Here’s the glitch, now that Katrina plowed us down, we no longer have recycling - of ANY sort. Yea, it’s good to live in Louisiana. With the likes of ol’ Billy Jefferson getting re-elected, things are gonna look up FOR SURE!!! (none of us are holding our breath)

Yeah, AT, that tree did stay out in your backyard for a long time. I think some woodland creatures made it their home for a little while.

I cracked up when I read that Bill Jefferson story. Ain’t no politics like Southern politics, eh?
I think I can beat ‘em all: I never took down our Xmas tree light holders out on the gutters from last year. It’s such a pain in the ass to get ‘em up and down, we figured What the hell. This year we put the lights out on stakes in the front yard, being too…lazy…to even get out the ladder…
