I sometimes am slightly addicted to "What Not to Wear". I don't know why. After a couple of episodes I found myself playing with the idea of chopping my hair into an edgy, possibly unflattering, hair cut and thinking up better insults for bad clothing choices than the hosts. Then, standing in front of my wardrobe one morning mumbling something like "Mix patterns and textures. No diaper jeans allowed" That's when I knew...I have a problem. Watching that show makes me crave shopping! And, as we all know, mixing shopping with a smallish budget during Christmas time is like mixing Nicolas Cage with any sort of movie....it cannot be good. Stop looking at that awesome brown leather jacket, Heidi!! It is not on the Christmas list! That's it! I'm starting my New's Resolutions early...no more "What Not to Wear". I'm going Clinton and Stacy free.
On a better note, as far as Christmas decorations have gone we've been pretty lucky. Thanks to the fact that we were married around Christmas time we received a broad array of snowmen singing, skipping, or holding presents. Sparkly snowmen, clay snowmen, plaster snowmen. Who knew snowmen we're so versatile! Also a nativity set made of clay, an inspiring Christmas saying placed on a Christmas themed board, stockings, a couple different ornaments mostly with "Our First Christmas Together" spelled out in cursive across the front, and a ladle holder in the shape of Santa's head. Little here, little there. Thanks to our local DI we have been furnished with a mdiget, pre-decorated Christmas tree and a tender little wreath for our door. We're feeling festive here in Stegelmeier #2. We're ready Santa. Hit me!
