I'm home and there were no furnace explosions, no house burnings, and best of all nothing froze, or gave out and the water is still running. Mind you every one I talked to today were positively jovial about the balmy temperatures. I mean -21.... I was walking between stores today with my jacket wide open. I felt like I was walking around in the tropics.... especially with all those tacky fake palm trees that Canadian Tire and every box store seems to want to sell.... give me a break palm trees.... a good pine or fir will beat out a palm tree any day for Christmas.... mind you with global warming, you never know... in a few years we might just have palm trees growing around here..... WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT..... THIS IS THE HOUSE WHERE HELL JUST FROZE OVER!!!!!! Global warming my ..... I won't use that word.
Anyway.... Christmas.... shopping is mostly done. Shipping however, is not.
The decorating progresses..... I'm assuming that you've noticed a total lack of pictures lately.... that's because I'm saving them till the end when all the Christmas decorating is done. Besides, I have to dig out another bunch of Christmas stuff from the shed... Tomorrow is gift wrap day.... that should be fun.... Frankie gets stuck to the gift wrap with the tape.... I'm notoriously all thumbs (erp!!!) when I handle gift wrap and tape..... You know all the pictures you see of perfect trees with perfect parcels etc.... that's not me or my house.... we figure if the paper covers it all well and good. Why stick a bow on something your only going to rip apart in a few days..... although I do have to say I'm really liking those Christmas bags. No if I could get away with wrapping stuff in garbage bags (hey! they're reusable) or newspaper (that's recycling folks) I'd do it in two shakes of a lambs tail.....
In other news.... I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out triangles into totes (I can't explain that one as too many people read this blog will know what I mean and it will spoil the surprise). The HH spinners and weavers have rescheduled their Christmas party due to lack of people for the original date. I bought a wreath hanger which was stupid since I already hung my wreath. I've already blown one Christmas gift even though it's not Christmas yet and Hubby was supposed to get that one. I'm freaking out because some of the volunteer work that I do is way behind, not to mention other commissioned things that don't really inspire me and level 3.... be still my beating, panicked, and freaking out heart.... it will all work out in the end right? When hell freezes over.... oh yeah... it already did.... well that's a relief... pressures off... thank heavens for that!!!
Don't worry I'm just having a schizophrenic conversation again..... I think I'll go visit hell for a minute and just put my brain on freeze!
