Day 429

HA!  Take that, Pessimism!  It's not Christmas yet!


We've been married for over a year.  Hurray!  And we have a tiny person to show for it (well, she's still baking, but she'll be here before March is over).  Oh, so much more laundry to come! 


Advent starts this coming weekend (NEW TRANSLATION FOR THE WIN!!!!!!), and I'm not quite ready.  I can't find the purple table runner I started making during Lent.  I want a tree, but Matt says he doesn't like decorating (my response: Too bad.)  I need to get a wreath together,  but I don't know when I'll have time...maybe tomorrow after work.  Matt's getting inducted into the Knights, so dinner is off.  If I can leave work at a decent hour, maybe I can stop by Wal-Mart and pick up candles and Stuff for making the wreath.  I don't think it will turn out as lovely as any of Auntie Leila's wreaths, but she's got decades of experience on me, so I will try to remember that and not feel like a failure.

I want to decorate for Advent and Christmas, but I really feel like I can't, because my house is a wreck.  :(  Perhaps that will be the endeavor on Monday - to get the house Reasonably Clean, then on Tuesday we can shop for decorations.  Wednesday, get nails done, then drive to Memphis.  Good plan.  Solid. 

OK, I will now set the timer for 15 minutes and Blitz the living room.  If that doesn't take the whole time, I'll do the dining room too.

Monster Slayer out.
