These days...

I've been blogging alot lately. I suppose I have a lot to say. Wow, shocking. Caden's 5th birthday was yesterday and the mid life crisis it has spun me into has not subsided. *Sigh*. Oh well, what can I do? I'm looking very forward to seeing my family and I'm excited to show you my new house! You know I must always add disclaimers when it comes to my home. And here is said disclaimer: Please remember that I have lived here for 6 weeks. I don't know where I put anything when I unpacked. I can't figure out where to hang things on the walls. And I have not yet learned all the nooks and cranies of my house that require special cleaning attention, etc. So you know...work in progress. BUT!!!!!I'm so excited about Christmas that I can hardly stand it. I have Christmas fever big time. I can't wait to put up the tree and put up the lights. I bet you $5 my tree will be put up before Thanksgiving this year. LOL. Most years it's lucky to get up before Christmas is over! I want a giant blow up snowman, or santa or globe or something for the front yard. I want red ribbons and stockings and a constant fire in the fireplace. Oh man. I can't remember the last time I was so amped up about the holidays. I think the root lies in having a new home. A home that is finally mine. I can finally do every ridiculous idea that comes to mind whether practical or not. No one can stop me!! ha ha ha!!! Therefore insanely extreme chrismtas decorations are neccessary! Don't Christmas trees smell wonderful? Mine is fake because I'm lazy and it's prelit, but nevertheless I'm stocking up on cinnamon and evergreen candles!
