Tied Up & Tired Out

So many things going on this week, already.  Work has been crazy just because there are so few employees and so much territory to cover between gift shop, garden center, Floral, greenhouse, Christmas Room and tree yard.  And that isn't even taking into consideration the cash registers.  Or answering the phone.  Or taking phone orders.  Five of us this morning.  Crazy.

I called the central nursery and asked for the person my boss said would "set me up" with a good Christmas Tree.  He actually did.  G stopped by my work tonight and picked up "Fatso",  a tree that is almost as wide as she is tall (8-9 feet).  My coworkers thought I was crazy as Fatso would fill their living rooms.  Not mine.  The fatter the better.  I'll just move one of the big chairs and settle Fatso right there in front of the fireplace.  I had a choice between two great trees.  A fat one and a skinny one (by comparison).  Since my life is sort of ruled right now by Atkins and the need to eat FAT I decided to get the fat tree.  It has a certain "meaning" for me.  And makes me smile.

My daughter tells me I MUST go to Target tomorrow and SEE the HelloKitty appliances.  Especially the HelloKitty Toaster.  S says the Toaster is a big  Hello Kitty head.  Too cute.  S didn't buy it for me because I don't eat bread (toast).  I do want to go see it and take a picture.  They also have a HelloKitty pink hairdryer.  (I don't dry my hair)

I have to go to Target to buy more tree lights, if they still have any.  We have started moving stuff around already, getting ready for Christmas to be over.  Taking ornaments off trees etc.  If I remember correctly, Christmas merchandise will be in short supply momentarily.  Crazy, isn't it?

G and I went to Whole Foods and Trader Joes last night.  I purchased my favorite things at each.  Olive oil and marinara sauce at TJ's and fresh vegetables at Whole Foods along with sausage and cheeses.  Then I  stopped at our local grocery ( I hadn't gone during the day) for yogurt, eggs and Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles.  My breakfast was sausage, WF cheese, WF spinach and eggs.  Lunch was salad and goulash topped with sour cream.  I don't know what I will have for supper.  G is having two TJ rice noodle soups.  He's tired and has already taken his shower and put on his jammies.  It's 6 pm.

Riley is also tired and is cuddled up with his big squishy Moo Cow toy.  Time for me to take my shower.
