no willpower
Dec. 12th, 2007 03:20 pmok i couldn't stand it. i caved.
at lunch time i got 32 red glass ornaments, 48 frosted glass icicles, two rolls of wired gold 4" ribbon and a pack of ornament hangers.
our tree will be simple but no longer naked!
the best part? 99 cents store. ELEVEN DOLLARS.
sweet.
(my rationale for caving: i figure allie will sometime in the near future need to decorate her own tree in her own home, so this will give her a little start.)

Dec. 12th, 2007 10:27 amyou know what's retarded?
our christmas tree.
over the weekend we dug out 4 containers of christmas decos from storage, but the ONLY ONE we couldn't find in there was the ornament box.
allllll my ornaments.
baby's first christmas, second christmas, third christmas etc. and a "daughter" ornament for every year since then up to 2003. also some of my mom's ornaments and all the other's i've collected since before i got married.
so our christmas has lights and 4 ornaments and a star on top.
but i refuse to go spend money on new ornaments when i have perfectly good ones...even if i can't get to them.
the good news is that the kitties haven't knocked it down yet. i am fully expecting to come home from work one day and see it laying on the ground.
