Got the outside decorated, got the wreaths in the windows, and yesterday I put up the tree. It of course, turned out gorgeous again this year. Even changed the backgrounds on my computer, phone, but still have to on my IPod, but I did change the ringer on my cell phone. Even got most of my shopping done, but yet I don't feel all that much in the Christmas spirit right now. I think it's because I gave Dave one of his presents early, a new coat that I got for a really great price at Old Navy and he said that he didn't like it. He said it wasn't his style.
He needed a new winter coat, plus I wanted to get him one that he could wear when we went out somewhere nice. The one he had he's had for ages and the zipper on it was broken, or worse, he would wear his barn jacket. He'd leave it in the car, but I still knew it was there. Now he has a nice wool coat to wear and he doesn't like it.
I was going to do some alterations to the coat to make it look more like his style, but I was afraid of messing it up so instead I just ordered him what he really wanted, a pea coat. I got a brand new one by Calvin Klein for under $100 and the best thing is that the seller is here in Iowa. So if he ships it tomorrow, it should be here by Saturday or Monday at the latest.
My day has not been going very well. I went to change watchbands on one of my watches and lost not one, but both little bars that hold the band on. The one should have been right here on the couch but I still couldn't find it. The other shot across the room somewhere. It's not a big room, but no luck, so I gave up. The ones that came with the band don't fit it, so I've decided that the thing is going back. I'll look for a different band. The bad thing is that it's a brand new watch, but I didn't like the band that was on it.
Just now the washer decided to go off balance. Luckily all that was needed for that were a couple pairs of Dave's jeans to be readjusted. That was no big deal, it happens all the time. Earlier though, it took me three spins to dry one flannel sheet. I've already decided that I'm going to hold off until tomorrow to do towels. I also have a couple rugs to do.
Anyway, I'm going to relax and hope that nothing else goes wrong. I just looked at the clock and it read 3:15. It seems a lot later.
The stupid washer decided to go off balance again, plus my finger hurts, another story. I need some spiked eggnog! Anyone have any real strong stuff?
UPDATE: As if it couldn't get any better! I just went to pull a runner out of one of the sideboards in the dining room when with it, a bottle of lamp oil fell out and shattered on the floor. It was a plastic bottle, but it hit just right and now we have the smell of it all over the house. Dave spread some cat litter, don't worry it was clean, over the spot to absorb the oil. So much for hoping huh?
UPDATE ON UPDATE: The spill has been cleaned up, thanks to Dave!
