Last night was running errands. We picked up my friend, and got to 3 different stores (drooling over decorations, of course! LOL! But not buying them). We ate at Chik-Fil-A, and I finally got one of their peppermint-chocolate chip shakes (they were out every time I tried to get one last year). Oh my!! They are SO good, I'm surprised they're legal!!! We got home late and very tired.
Tonight the (inside) big tree will get finished going up and lit. A few other things need to be done, but that's primary. The rest is just "finishing touches" (like decorating the trees! LOL!) It'll get done ... because where ever I stop, it's done! :)
