Yikes. It's already Jan. 10. Wow. I need to pause for just a moment to take that in...

Okay. It's Jan. 10. Apparently, I've caught the redneck 'disease' of living in North Alabama (heh), since my Christmas decorations are all still up. I really should rip all that stuff off the house today.
We left town Thursday, Dec. 28 to visit Stacey's parents in Tampa, and didn't get back to Decatur until Thursday, Jan. 4. So, to be fair to myself, I missed the 'window' where I usually get the stuff off my house on New Years' Day (or shortly thereafter). No, we got back in town and hit the ground running with work/family responsibilities, so the decorations remain on the house as a testimony to the general 'busy-ness' of our lives.
On a related note, a neighbor of mine got a new roof this week. But the lights are still up on his house, too. New roof + Christmas lights still left up = Christmas lights that are now hanging in big arcs draping down in front of his house or even hanging down into a pile on the ground (though still attached to the roof at one end). Heh. Just picking on him. If anyone has more "busy-ness" in their lives, it's them.
In the meantime, though, at least we haven't started getting notes from neighbors.
D'oh!
