Buying a Christmas Tree

The date is December 6th. Russ and I put Gabriel to take a nap and told the boys we would be back soon. We wanted to get the Christmas Tree. A quick trip to Lowes and we'll be right back.

Negative.

We hit up Lowes and look thru all the skinny trees. Russ pulled a few out and banged the stump on the ground, in an attempt to get each tree to fluff out a bit. It wasn't working for me. I tried it a few times too, the trees are a lot heavier then I thought. After about 20 minutes of looking we decided that maybe we should support out local farmers and try the place up on Rosemont near the church.

Well, it was muddy and cold. We looked thru trees that ranged from $65 to $150. WhOa. I'm all for supporting our local farmers but isn't there supposed to be a better deal when you go local? Then to make matters worse ... Ken and Barbie showed up with their perfect three children in a nice black Escalade. Their kids started running around the lot and the dad was calling after them with a camera... "Suzie, smile for Daddy. Billy, smile for Daddy." He looked like a dork. I looked at Russ ... he could see the twitch in my eye and we immediately left the lot to go to Jack Frost on Holland Road.

Getting to this place is hard enough. You have to drive up Dam Neck, do a U-Turn and then right on Holland just to get here. Jeez ... We pull up and they come out to greet us, I guess they weren't that busy. The lady asks us what size and we tell her 6 - 7 feet. She points out a few and lets us know that she'll be inside if we need her. Again ... I wasn't feeling anything in this lot ... so we decided to just suck it up and get a fake one this year. Why not ...

BACK TO LOWES WE GO!!!!

When we pulled up we decided to look at the prices for the 7 - 8 feet trees one last time. WOW ... only $30. I look at Russ and we are off. It might as well have been two kids in a toy store. We're looking really hard at the different trees. We finally find one. It was beautiful and hidden behind all the skinny trees. (Even in Nature the big ones are never seen and the skinny bitches are all up front) We take it to the front and they only charged us $21 ... I shot Russ a hard stare so he would keep his BIG MOUGH SHUT! Cashiers fault not mine if she undercharges us. They even WRAP it up for you! We also got a fake wreath for the front door and a Holiday door mat.

ALL FOR THE PRICE OF A LOCAL Christmas Tree.

Next year ... we'll go to Lowes.

I have an addiction ...

Yes ... I'm no longer in denial. I have an addiction. VH1 has this little mini series that started with Flavor Flav ... some of you might know who he is, some of you won't. I won't go into details, if you want to know ... google his name. Anyway ... this man was looking for love. So VH1 gave him his own show where he could have 15 - 20 women compete for his love. Every week, he would eliminate one person. Here is where it get's a little confusing so try to follow along. I didn't really watch this one, I'm not a huge fan of Flavor Flav. From this show, New York (he named all of the women different names based on personality or character) was in the bottom two and lost. She got her own show ... "I Love New York" ... where she got to go thru 15 - 20 men while they competed for her love. THEN ... they figured why not a rock star... so they got Brett Michales from Poison to do his own show ... ready for this ... "Rock of Love." Now between ...

Day 1

10 facts about yourself. .. I am on my iPad so if you see typos then just pretend they are spelled correctly. Move on!!!! 1. I am beginning to turn into a geek. I will explain... I was never a gadget geek until I met my husband. For our anniversary he purchased an iPad for me. For Valentines day he purchased a docking station for my iPad. Every year the presents get cooler and cooler ... But I am forgetting what diamonds look like... (hint hint) 2. I just became a Party Gal. Oh yes... This chic does those parties. They are the most fun and you can't beat having a good time with friends while earning free stuff ... Free naughty stuff!!!! Woot woot. 3. I am addicted to Twilight. Don't judge me, it wasn't my fault ... Well, not really. If you say you don't like it or you think it is stupid then you are missing the bigger picture. I don't have time to go into it, but if you hate it then you are stoooooopid!!! 4. I married a white guy. I know I know ... A really white gu...

Day 2

Day 02 – A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest There are so many people that I could have put in this blog ... you fall in and out of friendships so easily. You fight and fuss with your siblings all the time. So the person that I am picking for this would my my mama bear!!! I really don't give a shit what you think or what you say. I'm not trying to win any brownie points. It isn't like she pays my bills or anything (that is what I married a white guy for!!!) My mother is my friend, my life line, the reason for my existence (sorry dad, but your part was easy!!!), She thinks I'm the funniest person to walk the face of this earth! She loves me and all of my flaws (she has to because they are all probably her fault, she is the one who made me!). She dances her ass off ... so I want to be like my mom. She has a beautiful smile. She was a Drill Instructer for the USMC. (My mom can beat up your mom ... maybe ... or she might send me in...
