We are getting ready to enter the holiday zone & let me
just go ahead & put this out there: I AM NOT READY. Whew! I feel better now.

It was a NASTY day – poured rain
from dawn till dusk. This is my view on my way to dinner that evening.

Dr. M’s birthday! He had a big couple of days – lunch with a
friend on Monday, dinner with my family Monday evening, and a nice visit from
my nephew and his wife on his actual birthday (they’re moving to South Korea
for two years). They brought him a very appropriate gift, but the winner of the
whole birthday extravaganza was this card from my brother & sister-in-law. And
lo! It came to pass – although this picture of Dr. M snoozing in his chair is
being posted on this blog instead of on Facebook. Ha!

It was pretty darned cold in my office when I arrived at
7:30. Fortunately, the day was warmer and sunny, and our heating/air guy came
by to sort out what was going on.
Just this one picture of furniture – and it’s only a cushion
– not even the whole chair. I love this fabric!

November 17th
I heard some banging around in the office & found Dr.
Sneaky McSneakerson pulling out the Christmas tree. He said he wanted to make sure
the lights work.
He also wanted to assure folks that we do have some fall décor
too. Ha!
You guys were no help at all in figuring out what to give
Dr. M for his birthday, so he ended up getting what I get him about 80% of the
time: shirts. Poor guy. Are you guys ready for Thanksgiving? Contrary to my
shouting above, I think we might be (it’s Christmas I’m not ready for). You
know you’ll hear all about it next week!
Wow! Maker's Mark for his birthday. a fine Scotch for his anniversary. That man is living right. And I love his blue shirt. Is that one of his new ones?
ReplyDeleteIt is! He looks a little bit like a hippy when he wears it :)
DeleteI love that brown, blue, black colorway and the designs are so fancy. HB to Dr. M.
ReplyDeleteThat brown is actually silver gray - it just never photographs correctly. I'm hoping that I can take it to work when the blanket is complete & get it photographed using the more professional lights that we have.
DeleteBelated Happy Birthday to The Professor!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteDon't worry, Bug. Only people who have no lives are ready for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteHa! Well, I know a few who are UBER organized, but maybe that's because they don't have anything else to do...
DeleteBirthdays always should be celebrated all week!
ReplyDeleteI love photos taken of rainy windshields. Yours has a very Monet-like quality to it.
I feel somewhat ready for Thanksgiving. I need to pick up Brussels sprouts and asparagus tomorrow, and I just discovered I need more butter. So I need to make a stop after work tomorrow. I'm not worried about Christmas yet - we have MONTHS AND MONTHS to get ready for it. Oh...wait...
Brussels sprouts - yuck! I'll just eat all the asparagus instead...
Delete...let me just go ahead & put this out there: I AM NOT READY.
ReplyDeleteMe either, but I've always been the stick in the mud about the holidays.
I'm not sure why, but this doesn't surprise me at all Bum ;)
