DUH! of course!










think she believed me?

Velvet, I should have listened to your advice re: the bathtub. Gawd, what a day. He wouldn't go to sleep, so DH and I spent the entire 5 hours entertaining him and keeping him out of trouble. OUR kids spent last night at my parent's for a sleepover, and DH and I were planning on a romantic evening together. After my girlfriend picked up her baby at 4:30, we just slumped in the living room, gazing blankly at one another. We were so tired, we ended up going to bed at 6:30. :lol: In fact, DH is STILL sleeping! NO MORE BABIES!!!!

I had to move the living room furniture into the front room with the tree, and the dining room stuff into the living room. That tree is HUGE!!! I DID cut a few branches off the back (without knocking the damned thing over) and was able to push it a little closer to the wall.

I can't wait to get it out of the house. I like your idea, Soozie. I ALWAYS cry when my DH brings the tree into the house. I HATE killing trees!! I'm going to try to convince everyone that a fake one will do next year. Going to look for something funky... White and silver. Tall and NARROW!!

Going to pick up the kids. We're having a pizza party tonight with some friends and making truffles. I hate pizza... but I'll eat it if it's there. Maybe I can get away with just one piece...
Does anyone want truffles? Because I always make them for gifts, and I think people are sick of them. So am I. It's tradition, though...

Yum! I'll take some truffles :T


We don't have room in our apartment for a tree so I just spruce up the place by putting out some nice candle holders with cinnamon scented candles around the house. I also am picking up some real pine boughs.

Last year I hung the boughs from the two wall sconces in our living room and placed a small fresh pine wreath in the centre of the buffet table and placed a footed tray of shrimp in the middle. It looked really nice and the whole house smelled of pine.

I also have a lovely bowl made out of wire and burgundy beads which I am filling with burgandy and gold Christmas balls and pine cones that I spray painted gold.

That is the extent of my decorating :) less to pack up afterwards too!

"sprucing" it up? Then are you gonna balsam?
sorry

oh geez, ruthie :rolleyes:

Okay, fir sure it is time to start the pun thread.

oh yeah...pineing for that!

Maybe we should just leaf it alone! Shall I split the thread? :lol: All you have to do is ash! And then we could really branch out!

I am so very sorry!

What is going on here? I can't see the forest for the trees.....

ok, yes that was bad


Terri:lol:

Girls, those puns jokes arbor-ing.
You're all barking up the wrong tree.
Ugh! Soozie

I think I'm gonna puke.

Sycamore jokes, ellis?

Kat...that was really good! I'm impressed!
Anyway...kid's late for school today. She was sick a couple of days last week then we had two snow days. Now she thinks she never has to go back. I let her sleep in a bit and now she is watching tv. In five minutes I'll go break the news that she has to get moving.
Then, I have to get my rear to the gym. (though I feel like she does, would rather go back to bed!)
Talk to you soon!
Soozie
