I’m so happy that it’s Friday. I’m usually fine with any day of the week, but now, it seems that I can only run on the weekends. I’m not going to beat that dead horse any further. You already know my struggle.
How was your Thanksgiving? How did you celebrate?
Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday here, but it’s still recognized. People make turkey dinners and all that stuff. People also tend to get really excited about Christmas around this time. I’m not particularly excited. I like to take it easy. I’m almost done with my (online) shopping. By this time next week, I plan to be DONE. I don’t like shopping. Least of all during busy times.
Tomorrow, Babe and I are going to by our first tree stand and Christmas tree. I’m fairly excited about it. I’d probably be more exciting if we were going to decorate it right away. Nope. We have a lot going on. We also have to grocery shop, prepare some dishes for a little potluck get-together, get a gas tank (finally!) for our stove/oven, get my glasses fixed, and one or two other things.
My dad is going away next week, so he’ll be tasked with purchasing lights for my tree. White lights. I don’t know what colour scheme I’m going with. Either gold and white, silver and aqua, or silver and purple. Either way, it will be simple, but rich (in colour). I have no idea what we’re doing about the top of the tree. I’ll probably figure out a way to make a big bow out of ribbon and bag tie/twisty things.
Tonight, I’m gonna get on my (NEW!) yoga mat, and do some serious work. Supermans and planks and all that fun stuff. Gotta get my body used to doing actual work again. I’ve been lazing around for the past few weeks because the time change screwed me. At this point, it feels more like I’m screwing myself (and not in a good way), so I’m gonna fix that.
Enjoy your weekend!
