Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
The art project at Mr. S's nursery school yesterday was a "menorah" made from two rulers painted and glued together, with painted clothespins for candle holders. Alas, there is glitter on the clothespins. He has taken it apart, so there is glitter all over the place. sigh...
YAY GLITTER!!
My cable box has apparently died, which is super annoying! Especially because I don't think I can really call them, as I am on my mother's account, so I guess she has to do it? And/or go to the cable store and get a new one. Because lord knows I don't have time to kill with the fucking cable company.
Ugh, super-annoying, Jesse! Good luck!
I'm home, but the multimillion dollar, super fancy, 100% uptime storage hardware up & crashed, so it's gonna be a 12+ hour day.
We got the outdoor decorations up last week; they're camouflage to keep the neighbors from asking if we're okay. The tree has been in its box on the dining room floor for days, and I can't be arsed to get the indoor decorations out of the now-accessible hall closet. It's a lot of effort that's just going to have to all be undone in a couple of weeks. I haven't been able to convince myself it's worth it.
I'm listening to the radio like someone from the olden times (OK, I'm listening to a podcast), but my mother offered to get me a new cable box possibly as soon as tomorrow, so that's nice.
This is the first year since maybe forever that I am not doing a tree. Just too many things going on and I don't need the stress. B&T (new shortcut for son and GF or DIL) suggested we go on a trip so we are looking at New Orleans. It is only $113 round trip for the flight from Fort Lauderdale!! DH's birthday is the 28th. So maybe getting away.
We've had a tree up for a week undecorated. Life has been too crazy.
We have the $10 Aldi tree up for Murderbiscuit (which he leaves alone 98% of the time), and a small tree on the bedside table in the bedroom, but the bedroom tree doesn't have ornaments on it yet. Only lights. Maybe the ornaments will make it up this weekend.
I've got my Taylor tree up, decorated and lit (it's like 2.5 ft and 30 ornaments, so) and the Murderbiscuit-inspired silver aldi tree with additional leds, hanging. Lokes & Pumpk pretty much leave it alone now but P sits on the mantle or table near it, just staring.
