I'M NOT DEAD YET.

it’s been REALLY busy for me, thus the lack of postings from me. here’s a picture of our tree which we just got up yesterday.

i’m not the kind of person who believes there’s only one perfect tree, so it’s usually a quick trip to the guy from whom we usually get our tree; but this time it took us 2 outings to find a tree. i know, i know, that doesn’t sound too bad; but i HATE wasting an errand and coming home empty handed.

saturday was kind of frustrating in general that way. we spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME looking for two dvd’s: “mickey’s magical christmas (which we wanted ONLY for the “mickey’s christmas carol” chapters, and the 1970 “scrooge” starring albert finney. bill and i LOVE that movie, as it was just out that first christmas we were dating. i remember what we wore that date. you don’t wanna know, but we looked pretty groovy back in 1970!

we finally found the disney video, and came home and ordered the “scrooge” on line.

i did have a very nice, quiet, christmas luncheon with two of my sisters (one’s not around – she’s in north carolina). we spent some time after lunch browsing a couple neat stores in shaker square. i found bill a couple funky pairs of reading glasses – i was going to put them in his stocking, but we are so bad with not being able to wait, so i asked him if he wanted what i bought him, and he said yes. bad. i also found a fun present for mark and a picture frame for my mother-in-law for our new family photo.

i also found a place online to order some ghirardelli chocolate and caramel sauce – bill is determined to perfect our own coffee drinks!

the tree setup had only one small mishap (as far as bill goes – it was small). while trimming some branches, bill cut right through a light cord and had to reconnect. i wasn’t paying attention, heard a loud “OH!” (just like homer without the “d”). he hadn’t unplugged the cord (DOH!), and OF COURSE, HE SHOCKED HIMSELF. OF COURSE he did. hrmmmm.

oh. and some really nice news: matt is a college graduate! he chose not to attend the commencement ceremony as it’s not the same as the spring commencement; so instead, we’re all heading up saturday to celebrate and spend the day with him and mel. god, am i old. my baby a college GRADUATE. too many of the ornaments brought me to tears yesterday. more than once, jax asked me, amazed, “ARE YOU CRYING???!!!” yup. i was. i earned it.
