etienettebluetTuesday I washed up the tableclothes from Yule Court while I was on the computer with my genealogy. I'm still slogging along in the 15th Century.
Wednesday I stirred myself up and headed across town for A&S. Nothing specific had been planned so I pinned hems on the purple largess napkins during the chat session. I really need to get on the ball and finish them before Twelfth Night... more than a month should be plenty of time if I'd just DO it!!!
Thursday I made brownies and homemade pizza for supper. It's the first time in years and years I've done pizza this way, why haven't I been doing it all along? It's so good and relatively easy. We decided the new tree Leofwyna found just was too spindly and cheap looking, it will go back to the store. Anyway, the new plan was to take the lights off the old tree (much nicer and fuller looking) and put on different light strings. We worked on this for hours but when nearly done winding cords and tying down the lights some of these weren't lighting up either... we finally gave up.
Friday I got to exercise the snowblower again. Got up and dealt with it first thing, at eleven a.m. that is. After Leofwyna left for work I grabbed the tree with the lights we'd spent so much time struggling with and just set it up. For a wonder when I plugged 'em in they were working so I didn't even try to go back to organising the lights on the branches. I just pushed the last tangle to the inside of the tree and left 'em alone. Having the lights in the window means more to me than what it looks like close up. Just hope the lights last the season now.
Saturday I went out to clear the snow on the car and completed my Christmas shopping. On the way home I noticed one of the dummy lights (low coolant) was on so I stopped in at 24-Hour to see what's wrong with the car. Turns out to be a hose connection problem and no part available until Monday. I asked if it might be due to the accident Leofwyna had Sunday; no connection though so I won't be able to have insurance pay for it. Since they gave me a ride home I wasn't able to make my planned stop at the grocery store and I had to manage with what was on hand at the house.
Sunday when Leofwyna got up she took me out for supper then back at home we dealt with putting so many decorations on the tree that's all you can see. Looks real good!!!
