If only…

If only I had the money, the time, and someone else to set it up for me – i’d still TOTALLY do this to my house…

The Perfect Neighbor would just LOVE me, then, hm? (cackles!)

Or maybe even something more traditional…

In other news – the pup got herself a participation ribbon, AND a FOURTH PLACE RIBBON for her swim meet. She got 4th place in the 50 Backstroke, and she was nothing short of GIDDY to come home and show me she got a ribbon for it! Well done, pup! Next meet is on January 10th – thankfully, closer to home in Sister City. Aiming for TWO ribbons this time! (And possibly adding the breaststroke – she’s been working HARD on it, and looks good!)

Happy “Shortest Day of the Year”! Of course, those celebrating clearly do NOT have children on Christmas break, already fighting and bickering and making mama wanna cancel Christmas. Which is in 4 days. And for which I am SO NOT READY YET… Last minute shopper? You betcha. What do YOU want for Christmas?
