such a great day...
Because I lost my wallet, and do not have my new Debit Card yet, taking out money on a Sunday is nearly impossible. Funds were limited (I had $40) and so the kids and I needed to do something homey. They have their own new PC, 3 gaming systems, tons of games and well there is always my 300+ DVD collection to keep them/us occupied.

We grabbed a quick lunch and then it occurred to me
---
Thanksgiving was over and why not put up the Christmas stuff?
---
My younger son was very exited, and offered to help.

He was as into it as I was, filling the tree with ornaments, untangling these beads my Aunt had given me, and giving me some pointers on where to put stuff. My mother used to collect these Christmas Houses from Department 56. She gave them to me to sell on Ebay a couple years ago and I never got around too it. My son saw them downstairs in the cubby space (I live in a condo) and insisted I put a couple of them out. I never have in the past, they really just seemed to clash with my place. I told him to pick out a couple and I would.

---If you are wondering what that obnoxious dancing oriental statue is on the floor, it was my late father's. He was an interior designer and had so many very unique pieces. It's quite old and weighs probably 30 pounds (it fell over and almost killed my cat once).
---
Afterward my son asked me to drive around to the back of the courtyard so we could see how the tree looked from outside. It looked amazing! He was exited. :)
--- It was just one of the best afternoons I ever spent with my son. Each time I walk to the kitchen , passing through the living room, I look at the tree and think of him decorating it. If that doesn't put you into The Holiday Spirit, I don't know what would. It makes this place that much less lonely, like a part of him is still here. :)

so moving right along...

I had the most amazing 2 hour chat yesterday with this guy... we hit it off so well and perhaps will meet sometime soon. He's half Italian, is tri-lingual, has traveled extensively and is exactly my age. I haven't met anyone in forever that I had so much in common with and where the conversation flowed so easily. I even shared a couple of my Youtube videos (on the sidebar) with him. We'll see, I'm hopeful. Here he is... (it's the picture from his public profile so I think it's ok to post). It's not like I'm giving out his name or anything.
---Like I said the day was just perfect.
---
and without further adieu...

Good luck with the new friend! From what you told he seems very nice.
And I'll take what's behind door #3. O yeah! :)
Good luck with the new guy!
I pick number 5! Number 2 reminds me of Dorthy Hamil :)
And I pick the guy you chatted with. ;)
Very cute guy you talked with there. Hope that works out :)
Ok for Persian Monday, I am going with #5. (What is UP with #2's Hair?) LOL
P.S. The new guy looks cute! Hopefully this one will work out!
P.P.S. "If you are wondering what that obnoxious dancing oriental statue is on the floor, it was my late father's. He was an interior designer and had so many very unique pieces. It's quite old and weighs probably 30 pounds (it fell over and almost killed my cat once)." I think it's fabulous! If you ever want to get rid of it, let me know!!
We're decorating next weekend. We did get our tree though, a nice shiny aluminum one (big surprise).
: )
Please note that have refrained from making any comments about it nearly killing your cat.
i need to dig out all my Xmas decorations soon. All hail the purple tinsel tree!!!
Great post, Im glad you had a great holiday. Mine was good but I have to say, Im glad its over.
Cute pic of that guy, hes very cute, go for it!
Glad you had a good weekend.
Hmm, either Persian 1 or 3 but since Italian Guy's picture is right above, I'll pick him (good taste :)
Putting up the Christmas tree now sounds so very odd to me, because in Germany we're putting it up at December 24th. But I knew you do that right after Thanksgiving, because all my American friends always do as well.
I would (like Kalvin) pick the guy you were chatting with. But I guess he's yours. I'm glad you had a great conversation with him. So my next choice would be #5...
HUGS...
#2- The '80's hair is kind of cute.
Good luck with the chat guy.
Keep us posted.
and great to hear you had an amazing day.. especially since you didnt have to spend any money and it all came from ther heart!
Cute boy the italian as well.. hope things go well for you with him!
