the main tree went up… and I even put one into the dining room…

a dear friend came over and decorated the one in the living room…

she did a great job, as always… especially since I didn’t contact her until noon once I decided that was the day, lol…

I brought up many, many, boxes of ornaments which we went through and decided on what to use this year…

once she left, I worked on the dining room tree and put most of the leftovers back downstairs…

in the morning I put up the snowflakes and put away the last bits and pieces…

I was especially happy when I found my embroidered snowflake picture…

which may have been hiding for a few years;-)…

the trees made their way up the stairway…

found the box and had some fun placing them…

have one that needs to be plugged in, so I need to figure out how to get it connected…

the rest look great… Facebook told me I had done the same thing on this date two years ago… and I was thinking it was kind of early, lol…

a final few went onto a table by the front door… these include a few that my beloved made many years ago…

I like how they look, and they are connected to Google;-)…

the decorating is taking shape…

worked on the living room table…

removed all the pictures, angels, sarongs, and stones…

found the bags filled with ornaments that have gone into it for the last few years…

got them into three of the squares and saved the last square for cards;-)…

and I also received the first card… woohoo…

getting ready…

advent calendar, big girl pants, get printer working, getting ready, missing my beloved, searching, Technology, tidy computer room, year two is worse

tonight I spent another hour searching through the Christmas boxes trying to find the Advent calendar that Cyndi sent to me two years ago…

it is made of two muffin baking pans and twenty-four magnetic covers… I saw them in July when I was gathering items for the Champagne Bubble Party…

Advent calendar 2012

Advent Calendar 2012…

now I’ve been through everything twice and still can’t find it… last year she sent a package to the office and my colleagues filled all the spots and put on the covers… it was fun for them as well as for me…

I’ve now decided that I can use some small paper bags that she had used and were left from her business because apparently I am not going to find it, sigh…

did find some other Advent things and set them aside… have organized a few gifts but need to deal with quite a few more…

technology is also being a bit difficult as my desktop computer has died and I have to take the time to figure out how to print on the printer that was hooked up to the desktop…

a big job I have is to get the computer room tidied and organized… this will also help with being able to sort out the printer problem, lol…

trying hard not to let myself wallow in the sad place… a friend had told me that often year two is worse than year one, and that is what I seem to be experiencing…
