    I was thinking in front of our window to the backyard but there's a heating vent right in the middle and we like heat. I'm guessing it's gonna be in the hallway off the foyer. I need one of those you hang from the ceiling
    Are you doing a real tree? Because I always worry about drying out the tree being too close to the heat. I thought about one that hangs from the ceiling because of my cats but I think they would just view it as more of a challenge

    We always do fake. Hubs is allergic and gas strong opinions apparently about cutting down trees for decoration.

    I'm now letting it simmer in it's 4rh spot. I've moved couches and tables. It's a bit ridiculous really 🤣

    Slightly off topic I’m thinking of starting a Christmas tree farm. They mature in 6 ish years & I have the space. I shouldn’t have read that book

    Real trees are the “green” option and help small farmers typically. (I have no opinion what kind of tree people choose. If my kids didn’t love cutting one down I would probably switch for various reasons.)

    That could be confirmed depending on how he says Colonel

    Me: pronounce this word for me
    Him: colonel or colonel why?
    Me: blank stare
    Him: what! I said both!
    Me: a man of the world

    It’s an honest mistake. I used to have an issue with “sword”. And I thought I was the only right one. And I wasn’t a kid.🤡

    You should there's a Christmas tree shortage because of a drought and not enough being replanted to replace the ones cut down.

    I watch the news a lot and this was the top story a week or two ago

    Wondering if I should step outside my comfort zone and go shopping in my pj's

    Pro: comfy and quick

    Con: you will run into the most handsome man you’ve ever seen

    @motorsheen isn't awake yet

    I'm on my way in my pj's, no makeup, knots in hair...

    ETA - thank God I wasn't in the store more than an hour bc this sounded so cocky and it bothered me.

    Love Actually would have been a better movie if Mark had been in love with Peter and if they had eliminated the fat jokes and if Emma Thompson kicked Snape to the curb and if any of the characters other than Billy Mack had had any endearing or interesting qualities

    Feel good movies are wasted on me

    My furnace needs to be looked at by a professional & the last time I got the only man in 5 towns who does this work he walked around my kitchen as I was writing out the check, asked me if I’m EYE talian, & LIFTED A LID OFF A POT TO LOOK INSIDE. i can’t do this again. God help me
