Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous..

Beware there is some serious topic jumping ahead! And orange since the HORNS won today!

It was a wonderful day in Houston today! Clear blue skies, mid-70's with a nice breeze! It was so refreshing to wake up to this weather. I didn't have to worry about my make-up melting off my face or breaking a sweat before making it to my car! Jonathan and I were quite productive around the house today: TWO trips to HEB, unpacking boxes, finishing up the laundry, and making another trip to the apartment to get more clothes..it seriously amazes me how much we have! Needless to say I found clothes that I had forgotten about and then cleaned out some more clothes that I haven't worn in a year or so. Now that the closets are in order, I feel I can move onto other rooms to get them in functioning order..gym & office! They are both still in disarray and I am just not motivated at this time to open anymore boxes! We still need to bring over his desk from the apt and then maybe I will tackle that room. Jonathan wants to paint it as well, so we are trying to decide neutral or something a little more fun! We shall see that he comes up with and go from there.

As I am watching the Yankee game..it is making me want to go to NYC so badly..how can I convince the hubster that we need to go this year?? I truly don't think it will happen, but I can always hope and dream of that gorgeous Christmas tree all lit up! Such a sight that i will someday see in person whether it be with Jonathan or girlfriends..I will be see it! If you can't tell I LOVE Christmas! Our house will be a little winter wonderland that is for sure. I love everything about Christmas..spending time with family and most importantly the celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Does it ever amaze anyone how early stores start putting out decorations for holidays now??? It never fails I feel every year the stores are putting the decor out earlier and earlier. Can't we get through Labor Day or heck even Halloween before Christmas ornaments are on the shelves? Then what blows me away even more is that it is all 50% off?!?!? What in the world is all I cay say are these stores thinking. To see it all out in July is crazy enough, but for it then to be 50% off from July through January is even more mindboggling to me. I mean don't get me wrong the 50% off suckers me more times than none, but its still pure insanity. Maybe it is just me, who knows!
