Well, it is here. This was the first time i noticed Becca's post that said she hopes to get done with the rental asap..and i'm sad to disappoint everyone in saying that it did NOT get done, and Becca didn't go to all the holiday parties, and do all the fancy cooking she'd been dreaming of. As a matter of fact, i was a scrooge and said we shouldn't have a christmas tree this year.
It's not that i don't like them, we just haven't had time for it, nor anyplace to put it. I like to blame the piano in the living room, but becca likes to blame my tv in the other corner. While i wouldn't admit it to her, the tv is certainly the easier of the two to move.
Unfortunately we were so busy that the tree never materialized, and i feel really guilty about that. However...i went shopping for christmas presents, and hopefully that will help negate some of the disapointment this season that has been a result of our working. Sorry everyone, Jewelry is not involved....
Merry Christmas everyone!

Still a bit stiff...
Tell me, would you do this? Have you done this?
I woke up at 5:00 this morning. Once I realized that it was waaaaaaay too early to get up, for me, at least, I tried to go back to sleep. Brent was still asleep and I knew that he sometimes has a hard time sleeping past 5:00. He is also a very light sleeper so I was trying very hard not to jostle or roll or even move. I just lay there as still as possible, trying to go back to sleep.
The next thing I knew, it was 6:20 and Brent was up and in the shower. My arms felt like heavy weights on top of my chest. My neck was stiff from non-use. Everything hurt! And I could tell the reason why everything hurt was because I didn't move a muscle during my last hour of sleep. So I didn't get up right away. I rolled around and stretched and took up the whole bed to soothe my aches and stiffness.
The funny thing was, when I told Brent the story, he laughed and said that he had woken up a little bit after 5:00. All my effort was in vain!

All I want for Christmas is...
All I want for Christmas today is to be able to finish the remodeling work we are doing on the rental before the Christmas season passes me by. You see, I really LOVE this time of year, as most people do. I want to enjoy holiday things, like parties and concerts and baking and decorating. I want to enjoy shopping--not that I usually have a problem with that.
I have to admit, for the first time EVER, I was a little bit panicked when I drove into work and saw that today was the first of December. I panicked because I thought, "I don't have enough TIME to do everything I need to do!" And then I panicked because I had such a thought. Such is life.
But we'll start the holiday season off with a bang. Tonight we are going to work on the rental, and we'll be painting. Painting is a great thing to do because it makes everything so much nicer instantly. You can be thinking things are drab and then you put on a coat of paint and everything seems better.
Tomorrow we will have a holiday party with the West Valley Symphony. Gotta love the parties.
And there's more fun to come this week...
