My Name is Lisa, and I'm a Yule-a-holic

My low expectations for the coming season notwithstanding, the irresistible compulsions are already beginning...

I took the past weekend off for plans that didn’t come to pass. I knew the plans were history by early in the week. I spent a lot of time fantasizing about what I could do with two entire days off in a row.

Go to the beach?

Go shopping?

Take the dog and my camera for a lovely late autumn walk somewhere?

Ummm…not. Weather turned out cold, dark, ugly and wet. Good for sitting at home, curled up in front of the fire with a good book.

Or putting up a Christmas tree…

  4. It's lovely!  Will you come and decorate mine after we trudge through glen and dale, forest and farm to find just the perfect oh-way-too-big-for-the-living-room tree?  Please?

    I want mine to look like your tree.  

    Happy Yule-aholic days to you!  I'm almost there, but must get through Thanksgiving first.

  6. Oh, it's great!  I love the holiday season but am so slow @ getting around to the decorating.  I am making myself wait until December 1st, but with work, etc., I will take several days - and not consecutive - for me to actually get everything out.  The tree is last...  sometimes I only get the tree up w/lights on it, never get out all the ornaments I just love & have to have...  isn't that silly?  To like something so much but not bother with it when the time comes?  And I so relate to having some extra time & lots of ideas of how to spend it, but then ending up doing something constructive instead of adventurous/out of the norm.  I am hoping to have a free day @ the end of the week and hopefully you've inspired me to get an early start on the decorating...  we'll see...

  8. ROFLMAO...just another thing I won't get done until the last minute.

    I love people like you, you get it done first and make me feel guilty until I get it done.

    Thats probably the only reason it ever gets done....
