wishing upon those stars....

last night we headed out to get frozen custard and when we got back, i saw a shooting star within moments after getting out of the truck. then, when walking the old man onslow and his ditzy blonde sister kimjoybestdogever, i saw another one. 

i know shooting stars happen all the time and i know what i was seeing was part of the geminids meteor shower, but still....i needed those flaming beauties in the sky to chirk me up. 

and they did.

holiday shopping is mostly done. i'd like to buy one more thing for the in-laws and get something for the lady who is letting kid ride her horses for freebies, but after that? i'm all sorts of done. yay.

it's been hard to get into the spirit of the season for a variety of reasons, but i'm doing ok. i'd like to have more decorations up, but we just have no SURFACES for most of my things. next year, hopefully, we'll have my built-in-shelf idea set up and i'll have all sorts of nooks and crannies to stick festive stuff in. also, hopefully, i'll have my farmhouse buffet for the dining room that i can seasonally decorate. 

our tree is...ok. we opted not to put or special ornaments on the tree and just have glass baubles — at first, i was fine with that, but now it feels....impersonal. you know, i will find something to be MEH about no matter what. 

i have to beat that pessimistic dark bitch down all the time.
