Like you said...you have a year to think about it. I'm glad you mentioned the fur balls as I wondered what that was. I need to hire an OCD/CDO person to come and help me organize and clean. Although, I must admit since I started taking that Co-Q-10 I have much more energy than I used to plus I take some others too but the Co -Q10 was noticeable! If you take a statin drug you really need to take the Co-Q10....ask your pharmacist. LOL! You might not need it though as you seem to have everything "under control"....ha! Ha!

Think of it as recycling, I guess. You'll come up with something. <br />That's quite a collection of shiny brites!! I liked your idea of using the smaller tree and doing a color theme...just to see what a red shiny brite tree would look like...or a blue one...etc.<br />Warmed up. Had a tiny bit of snow. Lots of ice. Love the pic of Chance looking for his ball!! LOL! ;) Have a great week full of recovery, sleep, and feeling much better...both of you. :) Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-63501897091454626302015-01-17T22:07:01.951-06:002015-01-17T22:07:01.951-06:00I know what you mean about putting up a big tree. ...I know what you mean about putting up a big tree. I went to a much smaller tree last year and even that seemed too big this year. The boxes of stuff are all downstairs.
