Black Friday

Zander proposed to be on Black Friday of 2005, and he did it via decorating a Christmas tree. So it is now our tradition to put up the Christmas tree on the day after Thanksgiving. We have to rearrange the furniture slightly to get the tree in, but we went a little overboard this year and literally rearranged our ENTIRE main floor. The front room is now the back room, and once the tree is down it'll switch around a little bit again. That and we might be buying some new couches in the next few weeks, which will force us to change things a bit again. But so far we're really liking it. I keep trying to go to the wrong room to get on my computer, and Z keeps getting confused as to why the tv isn't where it belongs. But things feel a lot roomier with it this way. By the time we got the tree up and the actual furniture moved around where we wanted it, we were pretty wasted. So the project got to like 80% completion that day.

The only shopping we did on Friday was a trip to Lowe's with our neighbors to get some more ply-wood to finish up the attic, and of course we ended up getting a few other little things. Lowe's is one of the most dangerous stores for us to go to.
