The holiday season wild ride, that is. I think that this was probably our last weekend "off" through the end of the year. Let's see.....we have MV alumni band this weekend, Thanksgiving, Pigeon Forge, H.S. all-district auditions, Christmas at my parent's, Christmas back here, and then New Year's. Phew!
With that said, I was out starting to put up Christmas lights this weekend. It takes me a full day or two to get the outside lights up, and since we have not much weekend time (and because it is dark when I get home), I decided to start early. Don't worry - I won't start lighting them until after Thanksgiving. I got all of the icicle lights up on the eaves, but I need to buy some replacement bulbs as I have 3 sections not working. I still have the bushes, candy canes, ski lift, spots, and reindeer to finish. I don't think I'm going to add this year; I spent waaaay too much last year, and it's better to buy lights after Christmas when they are on clearance. It was funny to see all the cars slowing down to wonder what this moron was doing putting up lights already ;) Sharon said that I should get a big lit turkey that I could put up on the roof - that way, they could be "Thanksgiving lights" until after Thanksgiving.....haha.
We saw the new James Bond movie Friday - I thought it was very good, though it takes about 30-40 minutes of non-stop action scenes to get into the plot. A lot of people have not liked it, but we did enjoy it.
Sharon's 7th graders are coming over for dinner tonight - each year, the top fundraiser earners get to come over for dinner. Tonight, it's Italian night. It will be interesting to see how we will fit 20 7th graders into our little house for a sit-down dinner. The pets are going to freak.
