kittenmmm's blog post - It Had to Happen Sooner or Later

Tuesday, December 5, 2006, 1:13:54 AM

Well, the sticky white stuff appeared this morning. Just enough for me to have to clean off my car but not enough to stick to the roads. The lawns, trees...cooler stuff that wasn't travelled on, were layered in a very wet "dusting". All things considered though it was the perfect snow. It came in the morning and was gone by afternoon. Now if they would all behave like that we might get along.

Besides that, we had a nice weekend. We got our tree at a local tree farm on Saturday. You can cut your own but I'm not into all that manual labor if I can help it and Wolf cuts enough trees around here that he didn't feel deprived one bit. We picked one of the ones they keep in their lot for lazy folk like us. The cut them fresh so I don't have to worry about it drying out by Christmas. Right now it's sitting in my front room "settling" before I put the lights and all on it.

We attempted to put it in the stand I used last year but if you've read my blog with any regularity you'll recall the disastrous episode I had back then. In addition to missing a screw, the tree capsized and took out another plant and broke a section of the stand. While we were out Sunday we found another one that was built better and only cost $10.00. We put it in when we got home that night and it worked like a charm.

We were glad to get home last night despite a lovely day with my mom. We took her to a local shrine that evening to see the light display and it was beautiful but COLD!!! After walking around outside for about 2 hours we couldn't wait to get home and build a fire!

Well...we're off to another week of toil but you know what? I don't mind because Christmas is coming

still a kid at Christmas

I have a tree that stays green year after and year and never dries out. It's magic (actually artificial).

*chuckles a bit remembering that blog* :) I'm gonna do the same as I did last year girl....go hack off a piece of the pine tree out front, and mount it to a "chunk of wood"...add just enough lights and bulbs to cause it to "lean"...viola! ;)

yup..it's almost Christmas...;)

The snow is finally melting here and it is supposed to be "tropical" (I wish:) for a couple of days.

Have fun with your Christmas preparations.
