What I'm Reading This Week #17

Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot!  Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere.  They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it.  Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?"   7,422.   I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!!  You listening up there, Sir or Madam?  Can we please be done??  The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place.  Rat bastards.  The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them).  This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years.  Th...

Final October Hump Day Poll


I know this is a weird question to be asking at the end of October but I've heard too many people talking about it to ignore.

Are you decorating for Christmas/holidays early this year?

I've already seen two places with hints of Christmas lights up, several people have mentioned they're decorating the second Halloween is over and some have already started.  It's already been shown that decorating early makes you happier but it seems many of us need a little Christmas, right this very minute, candles in the window, carols at the spinet.  (By the way, I was today years old when I found out a spinet was a harpsichord!)

  1. 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.

    I learned something new today already. I, too, was today years old when I found out what a spinet was.

  2. 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.

  3. I 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. 😁

  4. I 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.
