2014.12.14 – Oh Christmas Tree!

Today was really relaxing compared to yesterday. I slept in and stayed in my PJs for most of the morning. Around noonish I wandered over to Alice’s house and grabbed a few things she was giving away after cleaning out their spare room.

Wayne and Jordan spent most of the day putting Christmas lights on the house. That looked like a LOT of work but the house looks great. Well considering it’s not a great looking house to begin with. Oh well, someday!

Andrew and I left in the early evening to go to the liquor store. It’s still so strange to me that we have to do that in Oregon. It makes buying alcohol feel bad somehow. Of course that doesn’t stop us! We went to a couple of stores looking for a blanket for Andrew. We’ve had our giant comforter on the bed but I sleep in the middle and was ridiculously hot and uncomfortable every night. We took it off the bed and I have slept all night without kicking off the covers but of course now he’s freezing. No luck at Target or Pier One Imports so we headed for Lloyd Center Mall. I know, I know…..the mall just before Christmas?? But it wasn’t bad at all. We found a blanket and a new pillow for me (I’m on a quest for the perfect pillow).

We got home just as Wayne and Jordan were finishing up the lights. They looked exhausted but I still asked if we could go get a tree. If we didn’t do it then it would probably end up being another week before we had time and then it would be too close to Christmas and blah, blah, blah so he tiredly agreed. Wayne, Andrew, Jayde, Natale and I piled in the truck and went to the tree lot. We found our tree in less than five minutes which is totally unheard of for us and we were on our way home.

Wayne dropped Andrew, Jayde and I off at La Bonita so we could grab some burritos for dinner. They were yum! We watched some strange British sci-fi show that I mostly slept through.

Today I learned that my new pillow sucks!
