Well, we re-arranged the living room and bought a bunch of stuff for it. Linens 'N' Things is going out of business so we got slip covers for the very old couch and the recliner. We also got the new rug and throw pillows. I think it's very hip now. We actually match the furniture to the rug and pillows. Nice. I also threw in some pics of how I decorated for Christmas.

I decided I wanted a red and white theme this year. I think we'll get a tree today. It'll look nice with red and white ornaments. I just can't decide on colored lights or white lights. We've always done colored lights. We'll see what looks better.

I spent the day cleaning and doing laundry. My favorite. I'm excited to look for that part-time job in the new year. I will wait a little on applying only b/c my mom is visiting for my birthday at the end of January. And then we always have a party on Superbowl Sunday. I wouldn't want to get a job and then have to ask for a bunch of days off right away.

Another exciting thing coming up is ballroom lessons. That's right... a studio was giving away free dance lessons to promote business. Dan and I are going to our 1st of 3 on January 7th. I'm really excited. We wanted to take lessons before our wedding and we never did. We both watch "Dancing with the Stars" and always talk about lessons. Well now we get to do it! Cool.

My job still sucks allthough I actually did work on Friday. Wow. Real work. It was wierd and nice. I cannot work there forever. I have confidence in my plan to get out. I'm thinking about applying to Kohl's and Dillard's. They are kind of more upscale retail (if there is such a thing). We'll see what happens.

Time to go get the laundry out of the dryer and wake Dan up from his nap. He worked today, like every Saturday, but he had to go in early. Early is like 4am. He deserves a nap b/c we will stay up tonight playing RockBand. We are going to try and rent the new Track Pack they have out for it. P.S. to Pi: a GREAT present would be RockBand 2 for Playstation 2 if you can't think of anything to get us ;0). Enjoy the season!!

The living room looks terrific. I love the rug; you're right about it making the room look pretty "now." And the red & white for the holidays is a good idea too. So you're a home-decoratorista as well as a fashionista! Lovely!

Though I'm afraid I don't know what your living room looked like before, I saw it looks great now! Merry, merry and all that good stuff!
