Confession

I started putting up Christmas decorations.  Well, one so far, but still.  I mostly blame you all!  Ok, not really.  I'm usually in and/or teaching school so i don't have time for it till after finals/school holiday festivities.  That and we're hosting a mini brunch after the T-day 5K, so i wanted it to look festive and i don't have much fall/Thanksgiving stuff.

I've never started before Thanksgiving before but this year i plan to have: outside lights, tree (lights and garland only), mantel, wreath and festive towels.  Not too much (right???).

  • I have the wednesday before Tday off... I have a bunch of baking to do that day so I think I might decorate that day.

    And I just had a cookie and milk. It was amazing.

    Are you feeling any better?  The nerve pain thing -- is it improving?

    I've been drinking soynog+coffee since Friday.  Makes every afternoon a good one :)

    The nerve pain is ok if I don't walk - I have a call in to my doc because I walk all day at work! Yesterday was rough and I could not wait to get home, nap and take pain meds! When I talked to the nurse she said I might have to stop working again - as much as I hate getting up in the morning, this house gets boring! We will see what the dr says.

    I need to try and eggnog latte, I can't remember if I have ever had one!

  • It tastes best with espresso, but soynog is a lot thinner than eggnog, so coffee might be better with regular nog.  Today i used instant (via) and it was just as good.

    You're working part time, right, like two full days a week?  Can you do part days all week instead?

  • I am doing 4 - 5 hour days. I might try cutting it down to maybe 3 hours? Then working up. I think it will just take time for the nerves to heal. 

    I will have to have a treat on Friday after work - Eggnog might be it! I can't wait for a Gingerkid latte...

  • DH is against putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving is over. Pretty much anything Christmas related has to wait till day after Thanksgiving. He got fake mad at me for wearing my pajama bottoms with the little Christmas trees on them.  : p

    That's funny about the pjs!

    I'm usually staunchly against pre-Thanksgiving Christmas decorating.  But i'm game.  Plus dh found out today about another business trip, the week after Thanksgiving, so i'm going to embrace it.

  • There is a really cool wreath making living social deal right now. I am trying to resist buying it because it is $65 but it sounds so much fun!!

  • I am normally very firm in my belief that Tday needs to be celebrated before any xmas stuff happens... but lately I have wanted to bust out the xmas decorations too. And... I wanted to start wrapping gifts. wtf is wrong with me.
