Ok so the Grinch was on over the weekend. My absolute favorite of all Christmas movies. I also got all my shelves cleared for my Christmas stuff to begin to go up. Dan asked me the other day what i want in terms of lighting. I explained I wanted the entire roof outlined. AND I told him my awesome idea of painting the light post white so when we put out red rope light around it we could make it look just like a candy cane. While the rope light idea will happen the white light post will not. I was told I'm not allowed to do that. We also cleaned out the garage enough so that I can actually put my car in there. Just imagine how much room there will be when they come and take away the two love seats. As right now we have two weeks that are not hunting season we are trying to organize some stuff around the house and get ready for the new furniture. We begain leaving Mickey upstairs as she behaves better up there. You would think she would be worse but go figure. Last night we went to Wal-Mart for some much needed groceries and assorted things and going through the Christmas area I was starting to get excited to decorate our house this year. But then I started wondering if Jeff and Jamie will be home for Christmas and if they are will Jeff be about to go treeing or letting people come to tree there? (for those who don't know or aren't from Elk County, Treeing is going to visit at Christmas time to see peoples "tree" hence the term.) It can be very hard to be cheerful at times like this. But I will take a page from my mother (as tough as that is to admit) and make sure we still have Christmas. My mom buried her mom right around Christmas (Christmas Eve maybe, Em do you know?) and always made Christmas a huge thing for us. Made sure it was about celebrating new life. She actually always overdid Christmas but in a good way, our 11 foot real tree so full you couldn't walk by it. She still does with buying my sister and I tree hangings. I also am excited because Jamie and Jeff's baby is on the way and getting closer every day. It is hard to focus on the positive when there tends to be so much negative, but sometimes thats the only way to keep moving forward instead of falling backward. Talk about a deep though there.
On a side note. We signed Jorge Posada today 4 years 52 mill. He will be a lifetime Yankee.
