Christmas Decorating - Ready, Set, Go!

We bought our Christmas tree decorations! Every year, we change the color scheme on our tree. Last year, it was purple.  The year before, it was blue and silver. We are using browns, golds, and leopard this year. My girls are getting a kick out of the leopard decorations for Christmas. I am going to do some online shopping at dept 56 north pole online and find more decorations. I am getting into the Christmas spirit this year. I think our tree will go up this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I smell my mother-in-law checking the turkey right now.  Smells great!

Great Birthday!!

New car! New car! New car!  That was one of my presents from the hubby for my birthday (the others were a camera and riding lessons).

The car was really unexpected, but it is the one I have wanted for a few years now - right color, brand new, under warranty, with a rear entertainment system for the kids and built-in computer system that I can talk to in order to change the station, bring up the navigation system, etc.  It will even make phone calls hands-free and read texts that come into my phone when I'm in the car. I definitely got REALLY spoiled this year.

Finally - Fall!

It finally feels like Fall! Autumn is one of my favorite seasons (the other is Spring).  I am not an intense heat or intense cold type of person but I love all the new growth in the spring and how everything turns golden and red in the Fall with the cool mornings and evenings.

Football games in the cool evenings! The crackle of the leaves as you step on them! I could do without my dog barking at every leaf as it falls off the tree at the start of Fall, until she gets used to it, but otherwise - I love it!

Politics

With all the political upheaval going on right now about the national debt, the government shutdown, immigration, and the Affordable Care Act, I keep it limited to the my political blog (which isn't this one) or my personal Facebook and twitter accounts. I tend to be VERY opinionated, politically speaking, so I don't discuss it on my regular blogs.

If people want to talk about immigration attorney los angeles or the state of debt of our nation or anything else that tends to rile people up in one way or the other, I don't discuss it with neutral parties.

Do you include politics on your personal blog?
