Damon is currently out of the house and I am counting down the minutes until he returns. See, when he returns determines what we watch on TV at 9 pm.

On one channel we have the dark and twisty Meredith Grey (now! with more George! I hope). On another channel we have Zach Braff finally returning to NBC for the sixth season of Scrubs.

If Damon gets home in time, we will watch Scrubs and tape Grey’s. If he doesn’t, then I have to tape Scrubs and watch Grey’s.

Either way works for me, I will still get to see the shows, but I am really excited that Scrubs is coming back. Zach Braff has mentioned on his blog that NBC really has jerked Scrubs around, refusing to give it a permanent home or even a slot on its fall line up, season after season. I hope that NBC will finally provide them with a permanent home on the Must See TV Thursday night line up. We already watch the other three shows, so adding Scrubs is like the icing on the cake.

Well here it is folks, proof that we are getting into the spirit. The spirit of Christmas that is!

I asked D to set up the tree today and he obliged. It helped that I offered to make dinner in exchange for him doing that task. I don’t know why I dreaded getting the tree out, it seemed like such a monumental task. I think it took him 30 minutes to set up and get the lights strung.

In addition to the tree, the other day I ordered our first Christmas gift online. It should be here in a few days because I combined it with an order for my favorite holiday movie- Holiday Inn- and got free shipping. I checked for some online coupons, but there wasn’t any to help me this time.

While getting ready for work in the moments prior to writing this I just had a eureka moment.

Why do I insist on taking on so much to do after work when I could just ask D if he would do it while he is at home? Seriously. I am stressing out about cleaning up, decorating, making the Jesse Tree and Advent wreath, and crocheting hats that I just don’t know what end is up.

Why do I do that to myself? It just ain’t healthy.

I would love a subscription to JPG magazine this Christmas. I think I have mentioned it in passing before, but I have been hanging out on the JPG site a lot recently, ever since they released their new site. Voting for pictures is kind of addicting.

I haven’t actually submitted anything yet. With the new camera I am finally able to (they have a minimum resolution that my old camera did not meet) but I am kind of scared. BUT, my fear should not stop you. If you have pictures that you think are JPG worthy, maybe you should try for publication!

Today is the last day to submit for issue 8. There are three themes: Tourist, Intimacy, and Embrace the Blur. You might have something in your photofiles. And you don’t have to upload pics for just those themes. There are lots of themes and some will come up in later issues.

Maybe by the end of the day I will overcome my fear.

Oh, and if you wanted to start voting for pictures, go check out Tracey’s Embrace the Blur picture (at the bottom of the entry). I gave it a “Yeah!”

Today I took a long walk around downtown, taking pictures of various landmarks and objects. The pictures will be used for a new project that will be launching on Friday.

I found out yesterday that I was accepted to be part of a new blogging network that will launch their pilot on Friday! This is pretty exciting for me and I am looking forward to sharing more details soon. Once I have specifics I promise I will spill all.

Woohoo for blogging!

Damon, Fuller, and I just got back home from an evening of errands. My hair will be thankful tomorrow morning when I have actual conditioner to use.

We hit Hancock fabrics, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, and Lowe’s. And now I have no energy to do what really needs to be done- decorating and working on our Jesse Tree.
