tis the season...

Way back when I started this blog I thought it would be funny to call it "the typing makes me look busy" because I was working in the office over the summer and very rarely did I feel 'busy.' However, when you actually have a full time job it's a lot harder to keep on things, like a blog, because at the end of the day all you want to do is sit on the couch for at least 5 minutes to collect your thoughts or at the end of the day, you barely have time to eat dinner before bed. Or at least that's how I have felt lately. I like being busy, don't get me wrong, but lately I have not found enough time to breath. I can already see what my New Year's resolutions are going to consist of...

But why wait until New Year's when I can start now...start giving myself the time back that I deserve at the end of the day. I'm not promising anything when it comes to my blog...sometimes I just don't have any stories to share or if I do they are work related and who really wants to read those? I know I can be funny from time to time...but if that's all my life has come to, work, then I need to do something about it! So starting tonight...which I have done tonight, btw, I'm doing at least one thing for me and only me. For instance, I LOVE Christmas...everything about it. But most of all, I like to decorate. So, last night I purchased a Christmas tree for my apartment and tonight I put the finishing touches on that and also the big 'window' I have between my kitchen and living area. Here are some pictures of the finished project...


I was kind of bummed because I wanted to put the tree in front of the big window I have in my living room, but it wouldn't fit/wasn't stable. So I had to stick it in the corner...which is okay, but not perfect. I'm not sure where all the gifts I buy are going to go, but we'll cross that bridge when it gets here. For now, I am going to sit and admire my work...it took me forever to get the lights around the window!

Do something for you tonight! It sure felt good to do something for me...
