We finally packed away our Christmas tree and decorations after putting off the task for the last 2 weeks. At least we didn’t have to worry about the thing bursting into flames since it’s a fake tree after all. It was a bit sad though staring at the empty spot where it used to stand. You know, I never realized how empty my living room felt without that tree. I almost feel obligated now to go out and get one of those big potted plant to fill the space. Anyway, the weekend’s been otherwise uneventful, though I did make it to Shangri-La for the 3rd time in the last 4 weeks. We also vowed to finally hit a dance club last evening after chickening out on every occasion for the past 6 months. But alas, fate stepped in with another several inches of snow, forcing us back into the apartment for another night of movies…
