- I ALWAYS leave them up until after Russian Christmas.
- To put them away I need to go to the storage unit. That is ALL THE WAY down the hall!
- Putting decorations away is one of those projects that explodes in the process...things get a lot worse before they get better.
- Because of #3, the entire apartment must be clean before I begin putting away decorations.
- I want to change the way I'm storing some of my ornaments. Last year I outgrew the 2 Rubbermaid totes I use to store Christmas things in. I added one, smaller, clear plastic bin for some ornaments, and I think I'd like to add at least one more. This will free up room in the totes for other things...maybe some holiday dishes. Anyway, I need to go to The Container Store before I can start putting anything away...can't put things away if I don't have the right containers.
- They're so pretty!
What I should be doing is at least working on #4. Especially because I have Melissa visiting later this week! What am I doing instead? I watched the last half of Julie and Julia on Tivo (as in, I never saw the first half, but came in part way through the other night and decided to hit record). In true Katrina fashion, I started researching Julia Child and the book while I was watching the movie. The book Julie and Julia has been sitting here waiting for me to read it for months, but now I know that it's a true story. Or at least...I'm fairly certain it's a true story (I guess it could be a really well set up fake story). Apparently, I didn't spend that much time researching.
Ugh - I'm so behind on reading...but that's a different story!
