Decorating for Christmas

We woke up to 68 degrees!  Of course we had 100 percent humidity and everything is wet as if it has been raining.

The parking lot we are currently parking our home in looks like it’s been rained on .. our truck even has moister running off of it.  That is one down fall to the south.  Their humidity is terrible and you do not leave anything outside if you do not want it wet.

I was up early and started the dreaded task of cleaning.  I’m still doing laundry with no end in site.  When i get my 3 loads done today i will have done 7 loads of laundry so far with probably another 3 or more loads to go :((  That is the down fall to having a little combo unit, the loads are so small but I'm not complaining as i am able to do other things while i have laundry going.

After i vacuumed and scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floor it smelled so good in here.  I love the smell of a nice clean home.  I still had some energy so i decided since i had to dig in the outside compartment to get my big roaster out (I’m cooking a turkey tomorrow) I would get a few Christmas decorations out.

The top picture is of my globe, it really gives off some nice light.  It’s the only lights i will have up this year as we are moving before Christmas and only here a few weeks.  The table cloth will stay on our table when we move

Next was getting out my candles, i missed them and so while i was digging things out I decided to get my poinsettia's. I just love them.  I looked at some real ones at Lowe’s the other day and hubby said NO!  No more flowers .. snicker

I also love Cardinals and as you can see i they go good with my other decorations.  Hubby was like, why are you getting that stuff out for your just gonna have to put it all up in less then 2 weeks.  I told him, it will not take long to put the candles, poinsettia's and my candy dish away.

I even got the wreath out and put it on our window outside.  Hmm it’s official were decked out for the holiday.  Although it will come down before Christmas get here, we can still enjoy it some what or i should say I will as hubby is Scrooge.

It’s getting cooler outside .. wow the temps have dropped big time from this morning .. i had to change from a T-shirt to a long sleeve shirt before we took a trip to Wal-mart.  I forgot some things the other day when we went and guess what .. YEP .. I forgot eggs and sweet n low again .. grrrr  Oh well .. i did get dog food this time so my babies won’t go hungry. 

I can feel the cold front coming, I guess our friends in Texas decided they were going to share it after all.  When I checked the weather a bit ago the wind has picked up and temps are dropping!  Oh it’s gonna get cold :((
