Wednesday whispers

Well, after two nights of adding a second walk in the evening of 2.2 miles to the 2. miles in the morning I already do... tonight I/Greg took a break as the ankle is pretty bit sore, ahh not a surprise but not going to let it get out of control either. One more night left this week to get in the extra exercise.

So I used the night to get the tree up and lit. We have a tub of the stuff (what is it anyway, in our fridge) called "I can't believe it's not butter" And so in light of that, on Saturday we went out shopping for and purchased our replacement "I can't believe it's not a real tree" at Sams Club after an exhausting hunt for "realness vs price" at many establishments.. We saw everything under the sun to choose from "that didn't look like it qualified as a tree", to "WOW for a couple of $1000 bucks it should be a real tree from a forest!" So the tree we got was one-a great price and second-it tooks fantastic! Last night Greg loved the part that it is pre-lit with 1500 lights he doesn't have to untangle, and/or find that burnt out bulb causing havoc, just unfold it.. so tonight was actually turning it on and "fluffing it out to look perfect"... Now I'm considering "hmmm do we really need ornaments" okay, sure, it does (ugh) but not tonight, since they need to be brought in from the rafters of the garage. I think the boys are planning a rock paper scissors contest as to who has to help dad drag all the decoration containers to the house. Greg has already decided that this tree is not going into it's provided narrow storage bag after scrunching it up to fit after Christmas. I will instead be buying a king size sheet (or donating ours) and drapinig it over and tying it up and setting it in the 3rd garage as it looks now.. That does sound like a great idea.. I mean the part about using our sheet so I can get new ones! always an angle if you look for it.

Well, I need to get some study work done, as much as I'd love to continue watching "lost worlds" on the History channel and the archealogical digs and finds of ancient cities. Amazing the technology they used to build the enormous structures down to ivory cups.. It's also one way to travel to places you couldn't possibly ever do on your own, although I'd like to see some in person. I am thankful for the History channel.
