my christmas tree in 2008
It's a rather dark-themed tree by default (dark red apples, brown sleigh bells -- which are really cute). I might drop by Target today to get some lighter ornaments. The bed skirt is a pillow case, by the way. So far the cats are leaving it alone, though I did just have to yell at Hobbes for trying to mess with the apple on the bottom right. Stupid cats.
ruminating while i burn CDs
I'm starting to feel festive. We went to get a Christmas tree last night and picked a cute 4' tall tree -- one that will be easily transportable when we move.
Did I mention that we're moving? We've been looking for a duplex in the area, and I need to make a few phone calls today about some on Cherokee Rd -- right down the street. This place is getting to be too expensive. :(
So anyway, I partially decorated the tree last night, but put off the rest for today when Matt will be at work. I swear to God. He can be so annoying...but he doesn't mean to be. I think I'm about to start my period or something -- I'm not usually this touchy. But it does make me sad that he won't enjoy Christmas with me. He says he doesn't like it because for 6 weeks out of the year, everybody goes crazy with buying and decorating and other festive things, and it doesn't make any sense to him. I mean, it doesn't make much sense to me, either, but why does it have to make sense??? PLENTY of other things don't make sense. I guess I've come easily to terms with that, but maybe Matt can't. Whatever. It still makes me sad.
So anyway. I'm listening to John Rutter's the Holly and the Ivy. I can't get it to stop being bold. Okay, now the "B" is pressed up on top, but it's not bold. See? Another thing that doesn't make sense -- but that's okay. I don't care.
And I'm burning Anonymous 4's Wolcum Yule, my second favorite Christmas CD. I think I'll shower after I'm finished with this blog, then maybe a trip to Provence? Or maybe I should go there for lunch. I guess I could spend the morning cleaning. It's rather messy around here.
