Started putting up Christmas decorations today, and went and looked at trees this morning. Got a few done. Tried to vacuum dog hair off the carpet with a handheld vacuum. Which, in all actuality, really did nothing. Unless I spent 15-20 minutes vacuuming the same spot. After writing my name with it, I got bored, gave up, and moved on. Cleared the normal stuff off the mantle, and put all the Christmas decorations up there. Got a wreath and garland I'd like to do something with. I also have some glass ornaments that I plan on painting soon.
In other news, Ryan's extremely sick, and was up last night with a fever of about a bazillion degrees. I managed to break it around 3:30am, though, which meant I got a few hours of sleep inbetween sick-boy time and tree-selection time. And by a few, I mean six. And I have a nice long shift at work tonight. Orz. u_u At least I'm on my nifty 7 week winter break.
Thanksgiving was amazing. Not huge, although, we made enough food to feed a small army. I made trifle. It was mad delicious. And cheesecake. Both Ryan's mom and my grandparents left yesterday. Ate at Huey's for breakfast. Poor Ryan was both too sick to go to breakfast, and too sick to eat the fresh beignets I brought home for him. He started getting feverish and weak during the boat parade on Saturday night, although, he stayed for the whole thing. It was a strain, though, I could definitely tell.
Oh, I do have these to show:
The fabled handpainted wine glasses. I only have two of them done. I've started the third one, though, with a fourth one to follow. The leopard print took me the longest, although, the giraffe I'm doing right now needs so many double coats, it's taking days.
Also, my motivation isn't exactly up to par.
:/
Anyway. I need to eat before work.
