Wow, what a long week of working! I cannot believe how busy things get for retail (even on the corporate end) when the holidays come around again! I was so looking forward to the weekend because I had some plans, but even though some of them fell through, I have been actually having fun inside organizing things with Derick.
My dad came over for a couple of hours this morning to help us put up some shelving in our garage to try to make sense out of the mess in there! The bad thing about the townhouse is that there is very limited storage and you really have to maximize what you have to work with! We are going to be donating more things that we went through and realized that we do not use or do not need anymore. That was actually a pretty nice feeling.
After my dad left, Derick and I had lunch and then decided to pack up Tucker and bring him over to my mom and dad's place to help my dad put up their outdoor Christmas lights. Derick pretty much only helped because I had to be on puppy patrol. Mitzy (Jana's dog) did NOT enjoy Tucker on her turf and she let us ALL know that. Mom and I took both dogs for a walk and by the end of it, Mitzy was a tad more tolerable of Tucker. She is such a spoiled baby dog, and they have had her for four years already! Almost five!
In the midst of that, I also realized that I only have two storage totes of Christmas decorations in total! Ornaments, wrapping accessories, and other misc. decorations! That is about 8 less than my parents have!
So after that was done, for the most part tonight, I started decorating part of the house. That was actually fun, given the fact that I had to decorate the office at work this year. That meant that I had to help assemble, fluff and decorate three full size Christmas Trees, fluff and place about 8 small Christmas trees, fluff and place one large garland strand, and fluff and place about 6 wreaths. whew! It took 2 full days almost to complete all of that! Needless to say, all three of us who were working on it were Scrooges by the time we left. Ugh!
Now I am really excited to start baking! YUM! I am also SUPER excited that we have a short work week next week because of Thanksgiving! YAY I also LOVE Thanksgiving! The food, friends, family and football! The four F's?! I guess, whatever works!
Now I just have to figure out what I am going to accomplish tomorrow. Gotta love the weekends!
