A Day of Rest

The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency. ~Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons

Good morning... It's raining. RAINING. In December. DH and DD are distraught. Worse, DH had planned on lots of snowmobiling on his week off and now? Pfffffffft...

A week with a bored DH. Terrifying.

:::shivers:::

We took our tree down yesterday -- the thing was completely dead. And then I went on an artificial tree hunt. I went to WalMart, Kmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowes. I only found one I liked, and it was 9' tall -- too tall for our house. :-(

After lots of looking, though, I know what I'm looking for and so can probably find what I want online. I hope. So far, what I want (except for that 9' tree) are all $300+ ON SALE. The 9' tree is only $90 on sale. Maybe we should just cut a hole in the ceiling?

Today I make dog food, and possibly wheat crackers or wheat cereal (like Wheaties). We'll see how much energy I have.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday!

You Are Creative and Artistic



You are the type of person who has a very active imagination. You live in a bit of a dream world.

Whenever you are able to channel your creativity, you are very productive and successful.

You are a very visual person, and you appreciate beauty and design. You feel anxious in the wrong surroundings.

You love luxury, and at times you can be an extravagant spender. You have no problem spoiling yourself.



Except for the "extravagant spender" part, this is mostly correct.

I have no life. I don't have a middle name.

My Christmas tree is down, and all my ornaments and decorations are put away. Yea!

We had the rain yesterday so I guess the rain is making its way up to you.

Yep, this is me.

Good luck in your search for a tree.

Have a good Sunday.

We bought our artificial tree last year after Christmas at Penney's but we looked and looked, too. It was originally priced at $459 (I don't believe anyone would pay that price for a tree - sure overpriced to begin with) and we paid $100 for it. It's beautiful and we love it. It's 7 ft.

Good luck.

You Are Intellectual and Brilliant
You're the type of person who can get lost in a book - whether you're writing or reading it.
You take ideas seriously, and you believe it's your job to learn as much as possible during your lifetime.

You detest experts and authority figures. You believe that no one has a monopoly on knowledge.
You feel like acquiring wisdom is a journey. You may make some wrong turns along the way, but it's not about where you end up.


I don't know about the brilliant part but the rest is eerily accuratel.

If I didn't love a real tree so much I'd think about a faux tree as well. This years tree is dried out and falling apart. It's coming down tonight and we'll recycle it.

You Are Energetic and Unpredictable: You're the type of person who likes to stay active, especially physically active.
You have an adventurous spirit, and you feel like you have to do as much as possible in order to understand the world.
You crave novelty and variety. You like traveling to new places, meeting new people, and trying new things.
You try not to over think much in life. You feel like indecisiveness is a waste of time.

Um, this is SO wrong. Well, I do like to stay active, but everything else is WRONG. *G*
I hope you have a good day!
