Eeep.

[heathershaped]

I was talking to my mom on the phone this morning, and she told me she isn't doing a tree this year. They're older now, and everyone's now moved out and they get tired of doing the whole big family thing because it's a lot of work for them.

So then I was all "oh noes, why not just come up here? I'll get a tree, whee!" (I've never really done it, because I'd always just go down there.)

Heh.

So, a hundred-fiftyish bucks and about 87 teeny cuts on my fingers later, I now have a tree, and trimmings and candy canes and lights and everything. It's likely that more money will be spent over the next two weeks, and what was I thinking and shit.

I spent like a half hour trying to muscle that thing out of my car (because I'm a dumbass who got one that has the huge burlap sack full of dirt around the base?), and damn, those pine needles are sharp. And now said car seriously needs to meet a vacuum hose.

However, the tree smells great! I might be looking forward to getting it decorated and all.

Now, off to try and write drabbles and RP.
