O Christmas tree...

O Christmas Tree how lovely are your branches. No holiday trees here in my house and well the branches have really seen better days but the tree is up. I was going to put every ornament that I own but then I realized I own way to many for this poor tree. But I did put quite a few on there.
One of the robots doesn't she look nice on the tree?
Here's one of my favorite ornaments Lita made it for me. I think it's really a bookmark but I think it looks nice on the tree.
And the whole tree. The star just will not stand straight but I do love it.
Jay and the tree. Jay thinks the tree is beautimus!
And because I don't like little chotskies and stuff and I don't put up other decorations for the most part. And I must have something under the tree while I'm still working on my tree skirt here we have a little reindeer Jonathan gave me a few years ago and a little snowman from mom.

Bridges - Jeanne don't look.

While in Boston I took a few photos. I took more than this but they weren't so great.

The bridge that connects the North end of Charlestown from the underneath in the dark. The Cambridge Street Bridge.
Up close the Cambridge Street Bridge.

Beginning to Feel Like Christmas...

My ornaments for the RVA swap went postal today. I ended up keeping my robots and making a few other fun ones like blue reindeer and pink reindeer and another snowman. I love them even though they aren't traditional holiday colors.


And I got this little beauty in the mail. Look what is has on it? Polka dots! How did the fabulous miss Holly know I was having polka dot christmas? And that I have this new found love for all things owls. He's too cute I can't wait to put up my tree later this week.

Happy Turkey Day!

We had a lovely just Katie and Jay thanksgiving which was delightful. We cooked our own turkey and all the trimmings, played games, watched movies, and went for several walks and after all that turkey for lunch I just ate ice cream for supper (whoops). While it wasn't the craziness of visiting 1-3 houses it was nice to just have some just Katie and Jay time since I've been travelling a good deal of the year sometimes it's nice to just be the two of us.

Several things I'm thankful for this thankgiving: traveling and experiencing new things, having a room full for creativity and full of junk to create with, great no wait fabulous friends, a lovely though sometimes crazy family (who doesn't love a little crazy), sprinkles, polka dots, slushies, green beans and flip flops, and last but not least a guy named Jay who will let me cheat at scrabble.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay so at some point I should go to bed...

but right now I'm not tired I'm hyped up on Turkey Burgers and slushies! Anywho I am enjoying reading a few lists so I thought I would share...

Billy Ray Cyrus's Remaining Daughters and the Relative Worth of Their Concert Tickets - Who knew this character called Hannah Montana and Billy Ray Cyrus were related. This is all new to me.

Lifetime Television Movies of the Future - I can't wait for some of these. I am a little sad however that Pyscho Hose Beast from Mars didn't make the list.

Spinoffs of Dancing with Stars for the Common Man - I couldn't resist sharing this because well I love a little dancing with stars although I can't stand anything but the dancing part.

One more because we all can laugh at OJ - Alternate Titles for OJ's Simpson's new book

Happy thanksgiving. Gobble Gobble!
