We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My tree is finally up and all my ornaments are on! I just pitched out all my filler cheap-and-tacky-looking balls that were just on the tree to fill up the holes and took forever to put on and take off. I decided to just leave the backside of the tree, the part that faces the balcony door, mostly blank and put all my nice ornaments on the part that I look at. I even managed to get the ribbon wrapped around it for garland.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go tree shopping the week after Christmas to finally get a prelit tree that's a bit smaller and doesn't take over an entire side of the living room. If I can get one for under $50, I'll be happy. I can also use a tree skirt, since the one my sister sent me years ago is sized for a 3- or 4-foot tree, and mine is 6 feet and really wide. Even the replacement tree won't be small enough for that tree skirt.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Work is open, but I am staying home and recuperating.

I am awake AND at home. I have gift wrapping to do. YAY gifts! But I also want to go to yoga (SUPER YAY YOGA!) and pack clothes because we are headed to San Diego for a night tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Welcome, Shane!! So fun.

In theory, I am working today. Yeah, we'll see....

Was GC's birthday yesterday also? Or am I misremembering? (entirely conceivable). What an awesome bday present.

I can't believe how cold and blustery yesterday was and now I'm all snug and warm again.

I have so much sewing to do. I'm going to make a toddler sized apron for Noah since he loves to "cook" with mom. But I have to get some bias tape.

I just realized that 48 hours from now, I will be on my flight to Tucson.

I should maybe do some laundry tonight.

I seem to be trying to have it both ways, in terms of being a grown up/being my parents' child. The choir apparently has snacks before the Christmas Eve service, and they asked me to sign up to bring something. I signed up for veggies, on the assumption that there will be leftover crudite from the family Christmas gathering that afternoon that I can mooch. In addition to buying my own stuff, let me clarify.
