Spent today helping my mom pick out their Christmas tree, and then the rest of the day helping decorate it. And then the tree fell over while we were all eating in the living room, and everyone else was lunging out of the way and I caught it, thank you very much. And I am not a large chica! I am very petite, but I caught that damn tree and kept it from falling over, and then I stood it back up, and then someone else kept it standing up and I drank a large amount of wine. And no one said thank you.
I AM JUST SAYING. Only one ornament broke! If I hadn't caught it, more than one would have, and also it would have landed on me. Really, I had no other choice. (It did kind of land on Matt - but not a lot! - but that's his fault for not catching it first.) However, Matt was instrumental in making sure the tree stayed up the second time around, and also replacing all the ornaments that had fallen off. So he's forgiven in that matter.
Um. Anyway. That aside, it was a great day. We haven't gotten a tree yet, but we're going to soon.
