I'm watching the Macy's parade and putting up the tree. There are some lovely ropes of crystal-like drops that should go on it first. I can't find the blasted things. I had them last year, in the same apartment. There aren't that many places I could have put them. Hmmmmmm.
At least my back closet is getting organized as I look.
I do love the Thanksgiving-to-New Years decorated period. Sure, it's dark when I get home. But that's so the lights will look extra pretty.
This is my first tree time with the cat. So far he's sniffed the artificial tree once and gone off to explore the box it came in for half an hour. Which is exactly how I hoped it would go.
Happy birthday, DJ!
Happy Thanksgiving!
This is the brief calm before the day takes over. I'm gonna pour myself a cup of coffee and try to grade a paper before I need to do anything else.
He's totally supporting his son, going so far as to say "I stand beside him with an axe!" -which is oddly heartwarming.
That is sweet.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Birthday, DJ!!
I am off to shower and then drive up to my sister's for the day.
I've missed Natter for the past couple of weeks, man. Not even been a lurker. Boo.
Jen! Did you move? How are things?
Happy birthday, Daisy Jane!
My last apartment had a whole tiny room that was perfect for a tree. This one doesn't really have anywhere unless I find other storage space for everything on my corner table. And I'm severely short on storage space. No tree for me!
I woke up a whole half hour later than normal. Or
got
up a half hour later, I should say. Work thinky things keep preoccupying my brain in the wee hours of the morning as I toss and turn. But I suspect I'd be mostly awake anyway. I just wish I could sleep in better.
I had Criminal Minds and Supernatural dreams last night. I'm surprised I didn't dream The Mentalist too. It was quite a week for all those shows.
I am putting away some furniture and moving around some more before the tree goes up this weekend.
Between Criminal Minds, the Mentalist, and even Grey's Anatomy, a lot of recent shows felt more season-finale-ish instead of sweeps-stunt-y to me. Does anyone else feel that way? I liked it.
Grey's covered so much time--when in hell is their next episode? They were definitely bigger episodes, though I think GA felt big because of the time thing. The others (including Supernatural) had a huge emotional impact. Supernatural's not back until January. Not sure about The Mentalist. We only have a week's break from CM, which is good, because I worry. Hella sweeps. Which I read somewhere that Fox may have won for the first time.
