Can You Smell It?

Today was great fun (at least so far)! With a little help from my brother, John, and mother, i have decorated my house, deck and yard in all sorts of decorative lighting. It looks very good (if i do say so myself) - i can't wait to see it tonight, all lit up and such. You are all going to have to come over and see it!

Yesterday was fun. I got up, called my beautiful boyfriend, ate breakfast, detangled lights, went to the store to buy light clips and a one gallon jar of pickles for my good brother, (who has been 16 for two days now), showered, baked cookies, went to church (the speaker this week was excellent - very funny, something i like a lot), went to Sunday School, went to Josh's to give him an early Christmas present and his cookies, went to Wendy's (and Albertson's).

I got Josh a "Super Dooper Reindeer Pooper" jelly bean dispenser. I couldn't help myself - i wanted to see his reaction. He laughed. He asked why, but he kept laughing, so i think he's amused by it. He had some cookies, he liked them (i think). They weren't the best batch ever, i think i had too much brown sugar in them, so i would understand if he didn't like them.

Wendy's was fun. Seanathan, Shaye and i went to Albertson's to get Shaye some apples (we, of course, ended up buying more than just apples). By the time we got back to Wendy's everyone had left (except for John, 'cause i was his ride), so the four of us got into Clifford, our 1988 Chevy Astro Van, and talked and talked. We talked about all sorts of stuff, and we had a blast learning new things about each other and confessing our hearts (to some degree) and developing our relationships with one another. It was great! We talked until Shaye said that she had to pee, which was about 11:30, then we went back to Albertson's, went potty, and went home. It was one of the best nights i've had after church in a long while. Thanks, you guys!

I had a great time putting lights up today. Seriously, you all should come see my house! It's the first time we've had lights up in literally seven (7) years. I've lived in this house for 10 years. Hmm. Anyhoo, come see it!

I'm going to go take a nap now, so i'll talk to you shmoes later.

Christmas is in the air...Can you smell it?
