Having lived like vampires for the past weeks with Melody on OB nights, we finally found the energy to brave the daylight this past Sunday and head out to Target. We walked in planning only to get some plastic bins for her apartment, but came out carrying a 4.5ft Christmas tree! Granted it’s not a live tree, but nothing beats the convenience of having mini lights already sewn into the tree itself! I know it’s pathetic, but this is already a huge step up from never having ANY holiday decoration (so there!). We also nabbed a small selection of Parker Brothers’ “Nostalgia” edition board games including Monopoly and Clue. They reportedly feature the original boards from the 50’s and 60’s… cause, you know, we sure missed those good ol’ days! (cue theme song from ‘Happy Days’)
What a pretty picture of your apartment! Where did you get the elephant stuff – the colors and designs are really nice! I can't wait to visit you, maybe after my residency is over. Heh, heh.
Yes… time to ski but no time to visit… of course, dear friend. Anyway, it turns out that my aunt is a seamstress and works for a curtain company in Germany. So when she visited a couple of months ago, I drove her to a fabric store, picked out the designs, and asked her to make me some curtains. It\'s actually insanely expensive to make your own curtains, but certainly well worth it.
