Mt. Rushmore 

Mt. Rushmore

This is me on a beautiful day at Mt. Rushmore. I'm trying to remember all the wonderful, sunny days niks and I had on our trip, now that it's cold and the days are short. But wait! The days will start getting longer now. Yea!

Baby it's cold outside. 

Brrrrr....

Geez, it's cold! I haven't been able to walk outside because of the cold. My friend and I like to walk at 7:30 AM. We're going to have to choose a later time, or walk a (boring) mall. Poor Tan Lucy.

Tan Lucy is feelin' fine

Talk about smug! I'm feelin' very smug. Tree is up and decorated, house is clean, cards are addressed ( and many are mailed).

Yep. Feelin' fine.

Tan Lucy Pez is smugly satisfied with herself after decorating her tree. 

Lights, tree, action

I put up our (permanent) tree, which has built-in lights, and put more lights on it. So it has about 800 little lights on it. The tree went up night-before-last. Today I put on some ornaments. Also, I have housecleaned the downstairs well.

That's the good news. The bad news is that I still have to really clean the upstairs of the house. The worse news is that I need to send out at least a few Christmas cards, and I can't even remember where I put the ones I bought for this purpose. Sigh. Guess I'll be buying new ones. I've been through this in years before: We buy Christmas cards right after Christmas each year, store them away, lose them, buy new ones, then immediately afterwards, stumble on the ones we bought first.

If Aral Peppermint Patty or Goa'uld would teach me to post pictures, I would post a picture of a very pleased Tan Lucy Pez here, because I'm pretty happy to have the tree up.

Sunday musings

It's Sunday and dreary (again). Lately I've made Christmas center pieces at church (with our craft group), and sold them to raise money for the church. We made over $600 after our costs. Pretty good I think.

I need to do Christmas cards, but haven't. Want to put up the Christmas tree, but haven't. Should clean the house, but haven't. There seems to be a pattern here.

Serena

This week I'm taking care of one of my grandcats, Serena. She's a sweet kitty. She misses her people, who are on a cruise. I hope they bring their sweet little kitty a nice present. She's being very good.

Bridget

niks brainy smurf pez and I went to see the new "Bridget Jones" and enjoyed it. Funny, but too sexy for little pez-people.
