I am at home feeling icky- sinus crud has me down.
Vick's VapoRub is about the only thing that is helping at this point. So don't come over unless you want to leave smelling like Vick's because I am sure that the whole smells smells of it.
I have done something really crazy this week though. I did it later in the year this year than I did last year...
Wanna know what it is?
I hung my Christmas decorations.
I have counted 15 trees this year versus the 30 or so from last year. So I didn't get too too crazy.
(Some of them are very very small, mind you!)
This is the third year that I put up a little something with tiny frame ornaments with Christmas pictures of years past. It is so fun to see how GBK grows from year to year. This will be her 3rd Christmas but I will never forget last year when she would open each present with such enthusiasm and gratefulness. It was like giving fresh water to the man deserted on the island for 20 years. I have never seen anything like it. Thank you! WOW! Yeah! she would shout at the top of her lungs.
I can not wait until this Christmas... It is only 48 days away...

I am sorry you're feeling icky. Isn't Vicks VapoRub the best, though? I love that stuff. (I have some that smells good, not too medicated.)
Last year's Christmas was really good (and hilarious, whatwith the WOWS! and the YE-AHS!). I think this year I will invite y'all over and have the GBK help us decorate the tree, and then drink hot chocolate and watch The Grinch! Or some kid Christmas movie.
I am sorry you are feeling yucky. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.
Ooooooh. Vicks is absolutely the ONLY comfort to turn to in this situation. Poor baby! I can't believe you have Christmas up already. I was so proud yesterday to get the house looking like I want it to for the Thanksgiving celebration in two weeks. I have to read Nigella Lawson cookbooks today to find delicacies for our delighted consumption - but then there are always the standards that I cannot abandon! Would you just not trade your favorite pair of shoes for the top crunchy serving of cornbread dressing???
Can I come over and touch every single tree?????
