| | oh, the glory to waking up to shadows on my wall! and do you know what shadows mean!!?? The SUN is back in residence, folks! - for even a little while. what a good feeling to wake up to bright, glorious rays of light streaming into my room! enough to make a shadow on the wall. that is being a little cocky, if you ask me... "hey, look what i can do!" yes, i see that, sun. thanks for doing your job again. but, it is good motivation to get up an at 'em if i ever saw one... slightly more-so that the morose, soupy, fog-laden days we've had of late...so, i'll take showing-off-kind-of-sunny, thanks.
and sunny + Christmas tree waiting joyfully in the living room?! even better. We trekked out to Auburn, found ourselves the best darn tootin tree we could ("have to be able to touch the top of it" was our main restriction... we found out last year the hard way - oh, and better to be able to reach around a good portion of it, too....) we cut it down ourselves... and then hoisted it into a cart, got it bailed and proceeded into Christmas heaven - a barn filled with all things Christmas, not the least of which was hot chocolate and fudge that we promptly ordered (the promise of hot chocolate being a major reason we chose this farm... it's important to the experience!) then we tied it down to the car (i was pretty proud of that... no males needed, except the one who hoisted it up there. it stayed in place on the roof like a gem... after a little fiddling... and much worry... but stay, it did!).
and we made treats and watched polar express and ate yummy things and put the lights on and the ornaments and made crafts and ... sigh. Christmas is here.
how's my paper coming, you ask?
well, i'm getting there, thank you. but my heart is lighter after all that play, so maybe the writing will go faster!
