Not quite yet. But I'm thinkin' about getting lit.

Just finished dinner. I think, other than a quick trip to Lowes, this was the first time I've sat down since about 9 this morning.

Lil' - the outdoor decorations are up. Well, except for the candles in the windows.

But, that involved three hours of yard work getting up the leaves. Had to get them out of the azaleas so I could put in lights. Then it took Jr. and me about an hour to bring everything down from the attic. I worked on the outside lights from about 1:00 p.m. until just about an hour ago.

Woulda been done sooner if I didn't have to be so dang precise about these lights. For the windows and the nativity I replace the bulbs at the beginning of the season, otherwise, I end up changing about one a day for the whole season. It's easier and cheaper just to start fresh.

But, I was getting tired this afternoon and said, "what the heck, I'll just these up and replace the bulbs next week." Unfortunately, I'd already discarded the bulbs last year.

We were gonna do the tree tonight, but I'm beat. Plus Luke wants to help and it's close to his bedtime. Will put it up tomorrow a.m. and finish ornamenting it tomorrow night after rehearsal.

Jen, I like the lights around the door.
