Well, Thanksgiving went well....We had a great time at the movies.....Saw New Moon again!! I thought it was going to be crowded....I worked at a cinema, two consecutive Thanksgivings and I remember it being quite busy....People sending husbands or children off to the movies, to get them out of their hair....We got there, just as the movie was starting and there were only about 8 other people there, in the theater...What a difference from pre-opening night!! I was able to hear all of the dialog, without having to listen to teenage "screamage". After the movie, plenty of popcorn and snacks and lots of togetherness, we came home and I fell asleep in the couch and Mark computered!! We ate our Prime Rib dinner around 6 and then just vegetated, watching television, til bedtime.....On Friday, we didn't really do much of anything....Went to one of my favorite Thrift Stores and bought a whole slough of Christmas lights.....My impolite neighbors put their outdoor Christmas lights up, two weeks ago and they look really bad!! Like a badly lit trailer at a redneck trailer park!! I cannot have my out of doors look like that, nor do I want people to see theirs and think its mine.....Sometimes, I can be quite superficial!! Anyhoo...I got plenty of lights....Mark was supposed to help me string them, on Saturday.....Solitaire on the computer was much more interesting and it was quite windy.....I'll be putting them up, on my own, today....It's better than way....I don't have to listen to him gripe at my unconventionality!!! I love Mark so much, but sometimes, the way he judges how I do things really bothers me.....then again, I do the same things, so.....We're at a impasse.....He did work on cleaning out the garage!! That's a good thing and he took a lot of the trash to the dump....On Sunday, we went to church and came home....I fixed lunch and then puttered around...Mark computered.....I realized that we couldn't find any of our Christmas decorations, in the garage and got really sad!! The kids are coming from Texas this year, for Christmas and I want to have a festive looking house and yard. Well Mark looked in the rafters up in the garage and he found my decorations...but still no Christmas Tree....All I have is a little 4 foot artificial tree, but I have a little house, so it fits.....Mark mentioned that it might be up in the trailer and said he'd check, when he got home from work, today.....I couldn't wait for him....I went up there, as soon as I was up and dressed and sure enough, there it was....So, I know what I'm doing, today.....Working on housework, moving furniture about and decorating the yard and the house. I am trying very hard to learn to love Christmas, like I used to,before served 17 years working in retail and then having Mark tell me on Christmas Day, that he wanted a divorce (in 2006). It's been tough!! Not having the kids here, has made it easy to hate the season, too.....I really am trying to love Christmas again!!
So today, I need to bring the recliner in from the garage....where it's been for at least 2 years. With both kids coming in less than 3 weeks, we are in need of extra seating....So Mark and the kids can sit in the couch and I will use the recliner.....I am going to move the computer, so that it's not so visible from the couch and then get to getting busy with the decorating....I might even move Picasso's cage, if I have the room.....So anyhoo....thanks for listening and wish me luck, I have lots to accomplish today.....
Love like He loves....
In Him,
Lisa
