Fa La La La La

I got all my decorating done yesterday. It couldn't have been a more perfect day/setting as it was snowing outside all day. It was harder, because being a new house, I wasn't sure where I was putting most of the stuff, including the tree! LOL. I also feel like I could use a bit more, with the house being so big. The tree definitely seems too small for the big room, so we'll think about that for next year. Either get a big real tree (and put the fake one in another room) or buy a new bigger fake one.

I also need more of the garland, for the stair railing. I had purchased this garland a couple years ago, from Lowe's Black Friday deal, online, for our outside porch railing. I need 4 more and Lowe's has them again for $4.98, but no shipping available this time. Booo! It was snowing all day yesterday, we didn't want to drive 45 miles to the city.

Mom was doing ok when I called yesterday morning, not great, but ok. Certainly much better than the later afternoon the previous day. But, she was back to "well, I know I'll have to move soon, up near DD, but I don't even know where to look". I told her (again) not to worry about it right now. We'll look for her, when the time comes, and figure it out. DD also talked to her around dinner time and she was doing really good then. My uncle also called her in the evening and then called me, to say she sounded really good then, too. When I talked to her yesterday morning she again brought up that BF had gotten pretty upset with her that she didn't come over. I have a strong hunch that's what set off her confusion episode. If she didn't feel well enough to want to go then there was no reason to get mad at her! Good grief! I also don't think he realizes that he's causing half her problems, in my opinion. He's the one who keeps telling her she has to move, getting her stressed and worried about it, which then, most likely, makes her not feel well. Honestly, I'm tired of him, now that I see how much he's affecting her.

Well, I have $15 Kohl's cash to spend between now and the 9th. Do I hold out and see if they will offer another free shipping code in December? I think I will. Right now it's free shipping with $25 order, which is better than usual.
