O Christmas Tree

I love how a trip the dollar store can turn into a huge event. I had to hunt for a few items for my boss today and Janine and I wound up buying a million little christmas decorations and junk! We now have our very own Charlie Brown-esque tree. It is sitting on my never used side table in the living room. The poor thing is kinda sad looking though...the star for the top is like the size of th entire faux tree and the chord for it is too short so the star doesn't light. But the tree does add some much needed christmas flare to the place so I guess we can't complain. Even though Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet I am already in the Christmas spirit because they have been playing my favorite Christmas movies on tv. I watched the Grinch and the Santa Clause already.....two of the best in my opinion! I can't wait for Elf to be on tv...oh how I love it sooooo!!!!!
Things have been running very smooth recently. School has been calm the past few weeks, but is now starting to pick up before the end of the semester. I have a presentation this week and three papers due the Tuesday before thanksgiving. Luckily I have been on top of them and already have all the info and research for two of them. I was suppose to actually write one of them this weekend, but of course I got distracted by tv, sleep, and shiny objects! Which means this weekend coming up is not going to be very fun! But I guess I can't complain because this weekend was great! No stress about school or work, got to have sushi with my Deanimal, and go to Ihop with the Delia girls! I love Tomo and Ihop!!!! I am obsessed with sushi and pancakes so to have both in one weekend was delightful = )
I can't believe how little time is left before Thanksgiving! I am ready though! I am off from work the day before so I can go shopping for last minute items, pick up Gram from philly, and make my cheesecake!!!! Hopefully it comes out well!!!! If everyone likes it I will probably make it again for Christmas since we are having both holidays at my casa this year! Or I guess I could change things up??? All I know is I can't wait to wear my apron and eat some turkey!!!!
