DAY 2
I did it. I signed up for Shimelle's "Journal Your Christmas". I figure it will pay off in the end because eventually I'll get to working on this concept. LOL
Another run around town day with DH. Costco, grocery store...it's a day long process that wears me out, especially since I didn't get to bed til after 1am...wonder why that is??? he-he-he.
Really need to get my mojo working on these class projects for the store...UGH. I really have "zero" reading on the creativity scale right now.
Watched "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" with Thing1 tonight. I realize I've been watching this one since I was his age. Wow- that's a revelation.
I believe my prompt for the day was to talk about the weather...what my perfect Christmas weather would be like? HMMM.... a light, fluffy coat of fresh fallen snow stuck to everything (except the driveway & streets). I like White Christmases, just not so much the slippery & slick stuff. I think I have a photo of the wisteria tree out front with just the look I want for Christmas...except the photo was taken EASTER SUNDAY. Seriously.
I've been thinking about Christmas lists...I'll have to write those thoughts down before I forget! Cookie baking, friend's shopping, items I need to finish those never-ending class projects...
My cousin sent me this the other day...figure I'd share my answers...
