Yes, Virginia, it's Monday

But it's not a bad thing. See what having a day off will do for a woman's outlook? I've updated the work blog - go see! (No, I can't help myself)

















We had a good weekend. The weather was really pretty and the weatherman said this morning that we are down to the last few days of warm weather and *drum roll, anyone?* then the cool weather would be upon us for real! It's only supposed to be 65 on Friday! WHOO HOO!!!

K is already getting itchy to start putting Christmas stuff out and, suprisingly enough, I'm resisting with all my might. I have tried to explain to her that six weeks is a LONG time to live in a Christmas shop. Seriously, that's what my little house looks like come the day after Thanksgiving. And that's just MY stuff. Now, we have a total shopaholic (yes, K, I'm talking about YOU) in the house and I predict a total decorating marathon if her Christmas collection is anything like her Stampin' Up or Tupperware collections. Where do you put TWO christmas trees in a 1400 square foot house?? *giggle*

Can you imagine if we started NOW?? Lord, that would be almost THREE months of stockings, holly berries, nativity scenes, garland and snowmen (not that we have ANY idea how to build snowmen here, in Texas). UGH. Even I, a Christmas die-hard have a limit to my holiday spirit.

    So you have a roommate now?! How cool! I know you must be enjoying that!

    Do post pictures of your abode decked out in holiday garb. I'll live vicariously through you.

    I do NOT decorate for Christmas. Or any other holiday. Folks around here would be lucky if I could just decorate in general.

    7 people in a 900sf home. Believe me - there isn't room for a Christmas Tree, even if I wanted to put one out!

    I may set a nativity scene up on top of the piano this year. We'll see. Who has money for Christmas decorations when you have a huge family to buy gifts for?!?!?!
