Brian had me look on his favorite website today NOAA.Gov to check out today's forecast. High of -2. UGH. Gross! So needless to say, I did not venture out in the cold. I think God will forgive me for not taking my 2 year old in subzero weather. I spent my day on my quest to have every room in the house "deep cleaned" by Christmas Eve. So when family came over, it'd all be done. Good theory, right?
Thursday evening I took the linens off the bed and washed them. I went through my closet and removed all traces of summer clothing (that doesn't fit me at this point anyways, but that's for another day...one where I will bitch that food and I...we're way too buddy/buddy these days) to put downstairs. I dusted everything, including baseboards and crown moulding and the ceiling fan. I also cleaned out my ever-growing collection of fashion magazines. Obviously I don't read them. I am obsessed with fashion. But to actually sport the looks I crave? Meh, I'd rather wear jeans and a hoodie. I'm a summer clothes kind of girl. Anyways, I gave my sister all of my magazines except my Parents, Women's Health, and Us Weekly. Oh and I spared her the Good Housekeeping's too. On my day off, Friday, I scrubbed the shower down, the toilet, the sink, etc. (In the bathroom, duh). I also did Piper's room. Dusted, organized, etc. Today I finished putting up decorations in the living room. Organized the gifts under the tree (I like them to look nice). And dusted everything. So - all that's left is cleaning out the refridgerator, kitchen cabinets, scrubbing the stove, microwave, and vacuuming/steaming the floors in the whole house.
Our Christmas tree this year is adorable, if I do say so myself. It's just the right size and everyone that sees it thinks its fake. So we did a good job. Piper and Brian decorated it. Anyways, this post is pretty pointless and really boring and dull. Sorry. Merry Christmas if I don't see you all before! Love love, Niki
