getting in the christmas spirit

i'm torn. i LOVE christmas decorations. i even bought a whole bunch more stuff last year at the after christmas sales just to add to this year's decorations. BUT, i just don't know if i should put them up this year. i'm leaving for denver not long after christmas, and i won't have time to take everything down before leaving. and i know daniel probably will not take them down. and even if he does, he won't put things away properly (i'm pretty much a control freak when it comes to the organization of our house). with all that i have to take care of around the house before i leave, and all that i have to pack and organize, i just don't know if taking the time to decorate and un-decorate the house is going to be worth it. if i do put the decorations up, i'll have to take them down like on the 23rd or 24th. and that would just be sad. to have to take down chritsmas decorations before christmas is even here? that just sounds sad. but, to not have christmas decorations up at all? that sounds sad too! i don't know what to do. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

presents!

yesterday we had a family dinner at daniel's mom's house (don't know if those apostrophes are right at all). first off, it was amazing. she made lasagna, pot roast, some kind of mystery vegetable (can't remember the name now, but i remember it was really good), garlic parmesan toast, and apple crisp. daniel's sister and brother-in-law brought yummy yummy cupcakes :) after dinner, daniel's sister, holley, asked what we wanted for christmas. i haven't really thought about it, but i guess i need a whole bunch of cold weather crap. but, other than that, what do i want? well, here are some things that i've wanted, but never saved up to get. maybe my parents...or boyfriend...will be feeling super generous this year? we'll see

macbook pro

canon EOS Rebel T2i EF-S 18-55mm IS Kit

marc jacobs classic q hillier hobo. i've wanted this for quite some time now. i'm sure if i didn't impulse buy crap as often as i do, i probably could have bought this for myself by now. ughhhhh impulses and temptations!

this couch and chair set i found on craigslist in denver for only $99! it's described as being in good condition and really comfortable. i asked if they would said the set for me for when i move there. no response. i wouldn't save it for a stranger either. they probably thought i was a scammer :(

of course, the tutto airline pet carrier. or something of the sort. the largest area underneath a southwest seat is 19"x19"x9.5". i wish i could find something that was exactly that big so that oliver could have the maximum amount of space to lay in.

smashbox halo. best makeup ever. my mom has it and i love using it whenever i go home. i've still got a lot of bare minerals left, so i haven't jumped on the halo bandwagon yet, but i would love to have it to use for special occasions.

snow tires

a new 1TB external hard drive

what else...i seriously need money. maybe a good roommate to share responsibilities with in denver. rent money. a great place to rent. a plan on how to survive on my own. and just stuff that i need for a new place. i've had everything i needed for years. now i'm leaving almost everything behind. i don't even know what to leave for daniel and what to bring with me. ohh, i need someone to do all of this for me! that'll be the best present. next to the macbook.
