Day Seventy Four.

    I can't believe how much we actually got done today! I'm really excited to say that we got the Christmas tree up. It's not decorated yet, but at least it's up. I tend to be really OCD about the tree lights....so I think it is going to be a good idea to put them on the tree tomorrow night when my boyfriend isn't here. That way when he comes over on Tuesday night we can go ahead and finish decorating it. It was nice to get up earlier today and get right out. We went to the store to get a few items for our cocktail party then we decided it would be a good idea to just get the tree while we were out. It was a fun outing which we ended by getting some lunch afterwards.
    I had a whole bunch of inside work I wanted to get done today so my boyfriend took care of the outside lights while I did my things. I ended up folding laundry, putting another load in, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning up a few left over things from the Holiday, and getting the house ready for the tree. The other thing I also did was spend a lot of time dusting the downstairs bathroom. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while now but never seem to have the time. Once my boyfriend was done outside, which looked great by the way, we got the tree up. My boyfriend was so sweet because while I was finishing up my shower he made us pizza for dinner. It was still fairly early when we were done which was nice because we were able to watch a Christmas movie together, this one was called "Holiday Affair". Neither one of us were huge fans of the movie, but it didn't matter....it's just fun watching Christmas movies together.
    I feel slightly anxious about going back to work tomorrow because I'm working in an area I haven't been in for over a month. Also, with the cocktail party coming up this Friday I have a lot I need to get done here after work. I should add that my sisters and I are celebrating Christmas the weekend of the 14th and 15th this year so that puts added pressure on getting presents earlier than usual. I really have to realize I'm not going to have a lot of down time the next few weeks. I don't really mind that so much, but I am looking forward to a few quiet nights reading my book in front of the tree. Alright, well that's it for now.
