Holiday High Fives!
Yesterday I sat down and typed up the Thanksgiving dinner menu and grocery shopping list while the details were fresh in my mind, and then I put a reminder note on the calendar for November 2012 with details about where the computer files are.
Today I seized a warm-day opportunity to put the lights up on our two holly bushes, even though I don’t plan to light the lights yet (too early for me). Usually this task is a major hassle, as I would put it off until it got crazy-cold, and end up standing on a tall stepladder in a howling wind, attempting to fling the light strands over the top branches with the brush end of a broom. Awkward and dangerous, especially since the ladder wasn’t always on level ground!
But this year I had a literal “light bulb” moment: I remembered we had a lightbulb-changer pole that extends to some ridiculously long length. I bent a wire coat hanger over the bulb-changing end to make a large hook and, Merry Christmas! The lights went up easily and without risk of personal injury! Best of all, I could place the strands exactly how I wanted them! I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner, but I’m so glad I thought of it at all!
