Welll I wondered if she was pregnant, but I think she is just fat. She likes the idea of going outside but there is a dog a cross the road she is afraid of so she stays inside 95% of the time. Wild as can be. Loves when I ball up paper for her to play with but if I spend money to buy her a ball she is not that interested.

Mine, too. It's a hopeless battle. By the time you get to the end of a room, the beginning of it needs dusting again. :-\

That stuff is NOT crap - those are cherished momentos! Your house has character. :-* :-*

Taking decorations down is very sad and it takes me forever to do it too. Some do end staying up all year like these on the mantle that have had a two year run now. This year I didn't put up a live tree. I just have this fiber optic tree and a fiber optic wreath. Last year I did have a live tree so when I took it town I put it outside. It didn't have roots, but I just stuck it down in the ground anyway so it looked a real tree growing outside. It was out in the flower bed where nothing was growing anyway. It stayed pretty and green all the way to Spring so it got to live out its greenness and pretend it was a still a live tree. I do have three trees outside that were originally Christmas trees with roots from many years ago - a norway spruce, a blue spruce, and a frasier fir - they are big trees now.

The other morning I was listening to NPR. They have an ocassional feature where they share a conversation or monolgue recorded by the Library of Congress for thei oral history project.
One day last week they featured a woman named Cindy White of Omaha who in 1990 met the love of her life. Two weeks after they got together her x-husband told he rhe had tested positive for HIV.
She went thru the story of her test, and her lovers subsequest test, they were both positive. Both he and the x-husband have since died but she continues to do okay. She and her love had a wonderful life together, and she made it sound like she was at peace with it. She concluded her tale with the following statement:
"Falling in love does not save us from the bad things in the world."
