I know I am not getting off to a good start, keeping to my “one post a day” habit. But to be fair, I never made a resolution to do a post a day, so it’s not like I’m breaking one.
Today marks the Twelfth Day of Christmas, and Epiphany, which means it is now time to take down the Christmas decorations. But before I can do that, have to filter out the unwanted decorations to toss out.
Along with the old lights that don’t work.
And the wrinkled wrapping paper saved through the years.
Oh, and who can forget the broken ornaments??
Normally this would be easy to do. However, the Christmas stuff is in the same storage area as my scrapbooking stuff, and of course, everything gets mixed up because that’s Newton’s Law at work with Murphy. No, I don’t know which Newton’s Law. I write for effect, not veracity. On top of that, I have not cleaned up after myself after the whirlwind craftmaking of the past few weeks. It looks like Archiver’s™ exploded.
So, today will be a very busy day. How do I know? I have been writing this post off and on for the past four hours.
Hope y’all’s Sunday is far less hectic!! 😀

And I’m commenting while a nervous beagle cowers between my feet beneath my desk, due to a newly-minted 4-year-old who apparently has discovered the ability to put her too-much-cake-and-fondant-sugar-buzz-from-yesterdays-birthday-party on hold, and resume it after a night’s sleep. 2013 isn’t lookin too stress-free so far.

Oh, right! The birthday!!
I am so sorry 😀

Ours came down NY day. Always makes me a little sad to see it go, but then that’s why we appreciate it when it comes back I guess

If it were up to Hubby it would have been down then, but I am a stickler for the tradition of Epiphany.
And by “up to Hubby”, I mean that I would be asked and instructed to take down the decorations. He *ahem* supervises 😀

I prefer Epiphany, but the decorations came down yesterday because 1.) I had the time, 2.) I needed the room for cleaning out Mini-me’s room to the walls and re-arranging the furniture.

*sobs*
I’ll be done in a few days…

Oh, the living room is a major disaster zone, but it needed to be done.
January 6th, 2013 at 6:19 PM
Oh, well…now I don’t feel so bad!

We just do Christmas at my mothers house, so no decorations at home. Plus my mother always takes down decorations the day after Christmas. Easy peasy!

Wow, you got lucky 😀

Newton’s first law of work-spaces: Every effort made to keep an area clean will be met by an equal or greater effort by entropy to mess it up.
Want to know newton’s law on cleaning up after rambunctious dogs? I’ve become quite the expert on that one lately 😛

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
