Xmas Lights
Got very little done today except pull the deer out of the storage room and then I got all the lights out, spending hour after hour testing the long green strands that I love so much, frustrated that I cant get more than one of three green strands to work. Now it's starting to feel like the holiday season.
With Roomies help, put the lights up. Roomie was once display designer at Marshall Fields in Chicago so many years ago. Good thing having a designer mind under my roof.
When Roomie moved in, he told me that Michael and I must have lived like lesbians. No sense of style, design, too many animals, it goes on and on. Perhaps he's right. I picked out the colors of the dining room and kitchen myself, but when Roomie moved in we painted over the offensive shades.
I have to say the kitchen looks much better now that the color is different. The dining room isn't anymore, because we moved all of the unused weight sets out of the unused Florida room and redid the Florida room, putting the dining room fishtank into the Florida room making it a divider between family area and my little office, where I sit right now. The dining room now contains the weight machine, a few fishtanks and full-length mirrors (for working out) as well as a cat box where three (of four) cats go to do their daily duty.
I'm only posting so you can see a picture of my beautiful front yard display. Now we dont look like the scrooges of the neighborhood. The Christians next door, thankfully, still havent gotten to decorations. I hate being last.
