So here I am, sitting in my hotel room in Milwaukee. I drove up earlier this morning and I'm here for a couple days, doing a shadow assignment. It sounds like some covert military operation, but trust me, it's nothing as exciting as that. It took me a couple hours to drive in this morning, but it went by pretty fast, thanks to the all-Christmas, all the time radio stations.

It's snowing here, but that didn't stop me from going to Michael's to buy some Christmas decorations for the house. We haven't gotten our tree yet, but I've got a lot of ideas going through my head.

It's our first Christmas in our new house, so we don't have decorations for a tree, other than the ones that we bought for our mini-tree last year. So it's like a clean slate. Our home decorations can be whatever our imaginations and pocketbooks allow!

Though Dave vetoed the inflatable penguin and igloo I wanted for the front of the house. But oh well. There's always next year. I'll just have to settle for a candy cane walkway and icicles on the gutters.

Doesn't it feel like Christmas is coming soon?

I mean, I know it IS, but it really FEELS like it.
