Another of Donna's lovely designs. My house is getting ready for Christmas. I am hiding out in the bedroom and Rick works on the lights. Of course half the lights have burnt out so he is getting them all fixed and adding them to the tree. I forgot we packed the tree with cinnamon sticks and pine cones 2 years ago. What a thrill to open the box and smell that smell instead of fake tree. Last year with my MIL's death we didn't put the tree up.
I always use the artificial tree. We had a tragic fire years ago where the entire family perished and it scared me so much I got a artificial and have used one since. I had one year where a light string shorted out and the tree started to melt. If it had been real I don't like to think what would have happened. I am maybe too careful but heck. I sleep all day, I could sleep right through it.
I go for my MRI today. I was just reading Helen's post about the cost of her surgery and tests and am tempted to just cancel again. I should just learn to live with pain. After all it won't kill me, just hurts. The cost is going to be so high. I have canceled this surgery twice already, LOL. Can you tell I don't want it done.
It takes me about 4o minutes to type an entry these days. I have to type a little and then stop for awhile. I type all night at work. My hand hurts so bad by the time I get home I have trouble sleeping. It is better with my brace on but I wash my hands so often it is a pain getting in and out of the brace. Sigh. Sucks when your parts start falling apart, LOL.
Tonight I am doing my Christmas cards. I would love to do a card exchange f anyone is interested. Email me and let me know.
I see the family of the man trampled by greedy shoppers is suing the store. Why the store? It sounds like other workers tried to save him. Go after the greedy shoppers who acted like monsters instead of the store. This will probably end another tradition like sledding, ice skating, bon fires. People sue, we lose traditions. Lets just all stay home.
Well, I have to get ready, take all my jewelry off and give Rick a hug. I think it sounds like he needs it.

I'm sure the tree smelled wonderful when you opened the box.
I'll send you my address for the card exchange.
Enjoy your day and rest of that wrist of yours.

love,nat
Your blog looks awesome! Good luck with the MRI--sorry to hear you are so much pain :( Julie
What a great idea about the pine cones...I'm stealing that one for my own!
I love that first graphic of D's. I love the Victorian ones. I neer thought of putting cinnamon sticks in the box. That's a great idea. I have an artificial one now also and am going to store mine like that.
Medical bills are killing me this year, and it's really nothing major yet.
Love the teddy bear:-)! now go have surgery, then maybe it won't hurt so much. Hugz~kbear
I bet that tree smelled good when it was opened. I can almost see Zoey hanging around that tree. Just be glad that she is still around to do that. I am sorry if I discouraged you about getting your surgery. Over eighteen years since I hurt my back this last time and I am so worried out with all this pain and I am determined to do whatever it takes to try to get some relief. This last surgery was my third one on the back over the years. I am ready to say "pain be gone".I hate that you have to be in such a hurting position to do the MRI. Good luck and prayers for you. Hugs, Helen
