I'm baaaaaaack

Hello again.

I have been busy setting up for Christmas. This is my favorite time of the year and the fact that I have no cash has not deterred me from decorating. If you have glue, glitter, paper and ribbon, you can almost create the entire holiday from scratch.

I have gone a total vintage theme this year and I am in love with it. I will post pictures later this week. I have bought only two things this season. One is the color wheel for my aluminum tree and one giant apothecary jar (that was on sale!) to hold the fake snowballs I made. I want to show the tree with the color wheel, so that is why the pictures will be posted later.

In other wonderful news, my new relationship is going fantastic. I went to Los Angeles for a vacation and oh my gosh, it was nirvana. The sun, the sun, the sun! those people sure have a lot of sun! We spent most of our time in a town that I believe is called Channel Islands, it is by Oxnard or something like that. Anyway, it totally beautiful. It is right on the water and all these houses are located on little canals. I hope to live there someday, right after I win the lottery and can afford something. It was so relaxing and warm, plus the company was awesome.

The kid came home for Thanksgiving and that was just the icing on the cake. He returns home for the Christmas season this week and all will be awesome in my world.

The ex is still a dork. The money and job situation is worse than ever but I am remaining focused and positive. Maybe I will receive a Christmas miracle.

The dogs are both well and just as insane as always. Hope all is well with you and you are having a wonderful start to the holiday season.
