Neighbor's Decorations
In addition to these lights, he also has one of those huge nylon blow up snowmen in his backyard.
Some of these lights blink, some do not. Nothing is even. Too many colors. Ugh. I can't wait for him to undecorate.

Good Deed Part II
A New Tradition - Kinda
We finally have presents under our tree, too. I told Brian he had to wrap my presents in different wrapping paper than I wrapped his in....sooooooo he got some Maker's Mark holiday wrap in the mail the other day and now my gifts are festively decorated with paper that has little bottles of bourbon in the shape of snowflakes with matching bourbon bottle gift tags. Thanks, honey.

Pet Peeve
PEOPLE - if you are going to spend hours upon hours putting lights on your house and dollar after dollar buying these strands, for GOD'S SAKE do a good job!
There are three Christmas light "faux pas" in my opinion - too much, just plain shitty, the uneven blinkers.
Example: Just Plain Shitty
No straight lines, no patterns, no consistency, too many characters - maybe I have a small case of OCD, but this is unreal.
Example: Uneven Blinkers
I do not have a picture for this.....however, put on your imagination cap.....picture a house with 5 strands of lights strapped to the gutters - and only 1 strand is blinking. Picture a tree with 3 strands of lights wrapped around it - and 2 are blinking faster than the 1. I have no problem with blinking lights in general, but pull it together and have the blinking make sense...or move into a trailer.
HILARIOUS!

Baking for Friends
Unfortunately, today we learned sad, sad news that our friend, Katie's dad passed away last night after a long battle with cancer and other ailments. We asked Katie what we could do to help and she said nothing now, but she'd let us know. She called back a while later and said she thought of something - her Step Mom wants SWEETS, so we're baking! Brian and I have spent the evening making banana bread, spice cake cup cakes with cream cheese frosting and brownies. Here are are some samples of what it's like to bake with Brian.....
