What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all. If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever (Volume eating FTW. It's been ...
There is almost a collective feeling I get about decorating early this year and I think it would be nice to get the decorations up fairly soon after Halloween is done.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today already. I, too, was today years old when I found out what a spinet was.
Nope - I won't do Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. I must be the outlier b/c as much as I enjoy seeing other people's displays, having my own tree up actually stresses me out. Mostly because the cats think it's a kitty jungle gym. I can't put up my fragile ornaments and I'm pretty sure my artificial tree is broken now from one of them trying to climb up and sleep in it last year.
ReplyDeleteI think its a fun idea to get some of the bulky things up, like the tree, in increments so it doesn't feel so time pressured. So a tree with some light is brilliant (I'm also a huge proponent of trees being up until Valentines Day....again, just lights, because winter is too dreary otherwise with the shortened daylight). This year though there's a good chance we may bot put up any because of our work schedules and both of us ready to drop. We don't do a lot like we used to anyway, but this year may be slimmer than usual if we're too exhausted. Hopefully we'll muster up some energy if we can though. Oh, and for those who put lights on outside, now is a perfect time to get them up before snow and ice. Don't have to be turned on but at least up and ready to go. š
ReplyDeleteI always try to not think about Christmas until after Remembrance Day (November 11th), as a sign of respect for our veterans. We always have a real fir tree, so that won't go up until a week or two before Christmas. We have friends that farm Christmas trees and set up a tree lot to sell them from December 1st to the 23rd. We will often go help them sell on the weekends and take our wages as a tree for our selves. However, the rest of the decorations will go up starting the first of December.
