Woo, what a game on Saturday! It was as tense as the LSU game, but with a better ending. This next Saturday is the Iron Bowl, and it’s gonna be a good one. I’ve got my ticket, do you?<\/p>\n

It’s getting close to Thanksgiving, too. Thanksgiving is my sister’s favourite holiday, but I view it more as the beginning of Open Season for Christmas decorations. That’s just for my home, though. Nowadays most retail stores use Halloween as the benchmark.<\/p>\n
I’m greatly looking forward to Christmas this year because I have an actual house to decorate. Last year I was in a tizzy to find the perfect Christmas tree<\/a>, so this year I’m just in a tizzy about everything else. A few weekends ago my sister, my Mom and I raided some Birmingham-area stores for decorations, so I’m ahead of the curve. I’ve got everybody’s Christmas ornament save one, I found an excellent tree-topper — a woodland-type Santa wearing a nice green frock and looking very Dumbledoreish — and I found the perfect stocking holders that are made of wrought iron. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!<\/p>\n Soon I will need to work out a solution to last year’s problem of Kitties Eating the Fake Christmas Tree. I don’t want to be cleaning up bits of plastic green things mixed in cat spittle off the floors. I will also need to apply this fabled solution to the presents as well, or else Hermione will open them again. I still think the solution somehow involves hot sauce.<\/p>\n
