Is it way too early to decorate for holidays?

It seems like most people around here put up their decorations right after Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving is late in the month this year. Go for it.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth the trouble. I find not decorating depressing, but the idea of the time and effort is depressing too.

There are Christmas lights up in my town in a few places. It's disconcerting, but also help mitigate the shocked double-take when I go into stores and see Christmas stuff. I keep forgetting it's that time of year.

I don't decorate. So I say borrow my weeks of decorating and go for it it you wanna.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

most of a weekend outside in the sunlight will work

I'm lucky if that's an option by April.

In the 10 minutes I was gone to get laundry, Loki managed to get himself trapped INSIDE the duvet. He wasn't even playing on the bed when I went down. Came back to a squeaking comforter. Oy.

Why do I not have a mdsized suitcase? It's either gargantua or carryon-size, and I don't think I can fit everything into that one.

Happiness is finding a coat on sale and kind of loving it but rejecting it because it has no pockets. And then going back tot he store to reconsider only to discover it does have pockets, they were just sewn shut on the one you tried on.

Nice, Sue. My brother and I got into it over whether his handkerchief pocket was real and sewn shut or just fake. He, of course, was delusional.

I've checked in for my flights. Now for a last minute trip to Target and the grocery store.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Is it way too early to decorate for holidays? I want to put the lights up!

I just put up my tree. I won't decorate it until after T'giving, but I have people coming in to visit this week and I'm throwing a brunch on Sunday. I wanted the tree up for Sunday, but I know i won't have time to do it all this weekend.

I generally don't decorate until after T'giving and everything comes down New Year's Day.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Now for a last minute trip to Target and the grocery store.

What do you like for travel munchies?

I usually take baby carrots and beef jerky. Last flight I was on was from DC to Memphis, I offered some jerky to the guy in the seat next to me. He declined and gave me the stinkeye. It turned out he thought I was offering him chewing tobacco.
