i don't even know who i am anymore




You like? It's my 18 inch pink Christmas tree on my desk. J11 decorated it. Tomorrow I'll show you my six foot white Christmas tree that's going up in my bedroom.

When we get back from the beach we'll be putting the live tree up in the living room.

This afternoon we're going back to the craft store to buy the boy's 18 inch trees for their room.

I don't know who I am anymore.

I've always pretty much disliked the holidays. Dreaded them. OK, at moments hated them.

Yes, it is all tied into my childhood. No, I am not going to bore you with all that.

I think I'm done with that.

I KNOW. That. Is. Huge. To say the least.

Maybe it's the Lexapro. Maybe it's all the yoga. Maybe it's the journaling. Maybe Stacie is just wearing me down with all her retro cheer.

Whatever. I'm so excited about Christmas, more than I ever have been. And I gotta say, kinda feels good.

I'm glad you're feeling good--even if you're violating the "Nothing before Thanksgiving" rule!

Good for you! Though I'm not even thinking about Christmas until Thanksgiving is over. Thinking about two holidays at once makes my brain hurt.

I'm happy that you're excited about the holidays and I love the pink tree. I'm reprising my white Christmas tree from Wal-mart again this year, only this time I'm doing it with red decorations, going for a Swiss theme to match the house in Colorado. Can't wait to see a pic of YOUR white tree!
