5 More Things
Well, I couldn’t resist. NaBloPoMo is over, and I don’t usually post on Mondays, but in the spirit of San’s 5 Things theme here are 5 things from our Sunday! Foxy is trying to destroy our tree. It turns out the ornaments are irresistible to him. Every time I walk into the room, there’s tinsel strewn on the floor and random ornaments lying around. Worst of all, we realized the tree is now leaning! Not sure if you can see it from this angle, but it’s definitely leaning back towards the window. It’s so hard to get it centered in the tree stand and now we have to do it all over again. This is going to be a long month! We had a festive outing! As I was eating my breakfast my husband suddenly said “Do we have an advent calendar?” ACK! I usually get an advent calendar for the cats from Trader Joe’s but completely forgot this year. I told my husband I would go today, and he unexpectedly said “I’ll go with you!” We stopped at Starbucks on the way, and I wore a holiday shirt. I was worried we were too late for the advent calendars, but they had a few left! Back at home, I got working on the rest of the decorating. Here’s the pet tree: Here’s our stockings: Foxy doesn’t have a stocking yet- but Santa doesn’t bring presents to naughty cats who wreck Christmas trees!!! Just saying. Foxy better get himself on the “nice” list asap. My son finally got back to Chicago. He left at 3 am (ugh- my husband drove to the airport) and traveled for more than twelve hours. He had a long layover in Dallas, which he didn’t mind one bit. His girlfriend drove up from Waco and they got to see each other! The day definitely got a glow up. It started off as a blah, melancholy day- my son left; the holiday weekend is over; back to work and school tomorrow. But how can you stay sad when there’s caffeine, shopping, Christmas lights, football, and pumpkin pie? You can’t. Onward! Are you sad Thanksgiving is over? Do you have an advent calendar?
