It Was A +/- Kinda Day

+ phone call from adam
+ coming home and turning on the christmas tree lights
+ cuddling with lucy (who is currently staring at her reflection in the TV)
+ reading laura ingalls wilder’s books
+ the fact that this list is longer than the “-” list. πŸ™‚


I haven’t done one Christmas/holiday card yet. Oops. They’re sitting here, and waiting. Not sure why I’m holding on–probably because it’s something fun, so I want to prolong the anticipation. And also, I’m not entirely sure I have all my addresses. Eek.

Spam Report: Now I’m getting lots of eBay tips for Dummies emails. I haven’t open a one–they go straight to my spam folder. But I like to check the folder to make sure that nothing important goes there by mistake. It’s happened. Now there are 54 pieces of spam mail. This, over the course of two days, as I emptied it out on Monday. I want to see how high the number will go!

Tomorrow, I have to go to the tire place and pray they can patch my old one. I knew something was odd because my steering wheel wouldn’t sit straight for the past few days. When I left this morning, driving felt WEIRD, so I pulled into the BP. And there it was. A nice, flat tire. πŸ™ It was COLD out, too. I called Roadside Assistance, and waited inside the BP for them to come. Even if I knew how to change a tire, I probably wouldn’t have in 20-degree weather. Who knows? But tomorrow, I’ll head out to Discount Tire and get Little Ronica all fixed up. She also needs an oil change. I need to clean her out, too. Give her a good vacuuming. Aidan found the trash bag and dumped everything out. Nice. There are crumbs and stupid things all over the backseat and front seat too. Plus the glove compartment is full of who knows what.

Oh well. One of these days. Heh.

Now, I’m sleepy. On my own accord. This is good. Night!

Good Girls Get Toys for Christmas, But Santa, What Do Bad Girls Get? (Pictures)

My Banana Ornament

The banana ornament is up. That means the holiday season is officially here. πŸ™‚

Four nutcrackers are guarding my tree. Two more are standing at attention on top of my bookcase. And snow people live all over the place. I am not great at decorating, except for Christmas. I just wish my pictures would do it justice.

My Tree
My Tree (the good angle!)
Note about the angel–it’s been in my family for at least 15 years. Amazing, huh? My mom gave it to me years ago.

My Tree
Sparkly.

Snow People
Some of my snow people!

Village and Stuff
My village, nutcrackers and more snow people.

My Tree
My tree, the crooked angle. But here you can see the four nutcrackers who are on guard. πŸ™‚

I just realized that I have seven versions of O Holy Night on my computer, and five versions of Santa Claus is Comin(g) to Town. But to redeem that, I have You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Woo! I have a variety of artists–Mariah Carey (of course), Christina Aguilera, Harry Connick, Jr (yes!), Celine Dion, and stuff from my childhood, like The Salsoul Orchestra and The Temptations. I would like to find my Kenny G. and my Celtic Christmas CDs. And there’s one more, but it’s escaping me now. Oh yes! Elvis Presley! I need to find those. Someday. Not tonight, though. Heh.

Only 20 days, 2 hours, and 25 minutes! Or is it 21 days? Oh damn. I’m horrible at math.

‘Til next time!
