delphia2ohohohMy tree is trimmed at last!
After a frantic search of dang near every store between here and Soldotna, I was unable to find garland for the tree. Yes, I have a box of the stuff SOMEPLACE but can't find it and I was tired of waiting to trim the tree. Finally, we stopped at a thrift store and I dug thru a box of old garland to come up with enough pieces to do the job. They filled a plastic shopping bag and cost just $2. It seemed fine to me, but when I got home and set the bag down in front of the tree, the dog jumped on it like it was prey! I had to stop him from throwing it all over the front room! (No, I don't want to think about how it might smell to a dog...it seemed clean enough to me!)
Anyway, tree done for now. If I can find my box of favorite ornaments, I'll put more on. Otherwise, it's done.
My gal pal accompanied me on this search and while we didn't find new garland, we did find the most hilariously obscene Christmas deco ever! I wish I had a vid cam for it, but I can describe it and leave it to your dirty, dirty minds: Imagine Santa sitting with one moose-like reindeer between his legs. When you press the button, they both jiggle in a most obscene way, Santa laughs his vile ho-ho and the moosedeer giggles and says "oh Santa!" There's more talking and they end up singing, but it had us in fits. Had it cost less than $50, I'd have grabbed it.
In the same store, for your redneck kids, action figures Hunter Dan and his woman, Hunter Ann. Yes, they are in camo and have little guns. You can also get the deer figure and a lab with a dead duck in his mouth. \o/
Later, this evening, we went down to the library for an Open House to celebrate some new fixtures. We got all new magazine racks, 2 kinds of new chairs and a new DVD rack. There is some new furniture in the kids area too. We got hot cider, munchies and a performance by the Victorian Carolers which was totally awesome. One chair style, which I call the 'comfy chair' because it looks like the one in Monty Python, is really not very comfy for us small folk. Really awkwardly deep. The other are awesome tho, with wheels in front and a handle in the back so you can move them easy. Here are two in front of our front desk:
Made for a lovely day. Next, tackling the Christmas cards. After my early morning staff meeting tomorrow tho as I'm about ready for bed.
PS: Dear God, if I promise not to eat shrimp, can I sell my child into slavery? Please?????
