Lazy!

Lately, I’ve been SO lazy.

Not at work, of course, because we’ve been super busy! I’ve been promoted (in a way) and now have more responsibilities in the same amount of time. But, I’m still excited about it, and I like being busy all day – makes the day go faster.

But, when I get home, all I want to do – heck, all I HAVE been doing – is taking naps. Or reading a book. Or taking a Jacuzzi. Or watching TV. Or snuggling with Brett and watching a movie.

I have been cooking my South Beach-friendly dinners, but aside from that and basic laundry/dishwasher duties, I’ve been so unmotivated.

I told Brett I decided not to decorate for Christmas. He said, “Whatever you want to do, babe.” I did take all the autumn stuff down though, so our house looks as bare as a plucked chicken.

Brett’s just not into decorating or “seasons,” although he does always compliment my decorating abilities or comment how the house looks nice. But, this year, I have just lacked the energy and the motivation to get it done. And since he helps not at all – since he isn’t interested – it just seems like another chore.

I told Mom about my decision, and she said I shouldn’t decorate if I felt like it was “just one more thing.” So, I’ve decided I’m okay with it. I may unearth a few of my bunnies in the snow collection and put those out, but otherwise – phooey on the decorations.

In the meantime, we’ve been pretty festively social already this holiday season!

Since my Enchanted post:

12/3:
Candice, Angie, Angie’s friend Mary, and I all went to dinner at Panera’s and then caught August Rush at Showplace 14.

12/4:
I was the coordinator and lead photographer for a local photo session with my media girl group.

12/8:
Brett and I attended our Game Night Group Christmas party in Durand. It was totally awesome! I got my “back” birthday gifts from August, and we all exchanged Christmas gifts.

Afterwards we played two games of four-team Cranium (my team won the first game!), and a Scene It Movie Edition game, which…het, hem….yours truly won!

Tomorrow, we’re attending our church Christmas party, and on Saturday, we have another party – a Luminary Party – at my cousin Paul’s.

On the 20th, Angie and I are going to the movies, probably to see P.S. I Love You (despite my disgust of Hilary – Guppy Face – Swank). The things I do for Angie! We are a little bummed, since National Treasure 2 opens the next day, but we couldn’t fit it in our schedule. Maybe we’ll go again over the Christmas break.

Mom and I are also planning a big shopping excursion for next week. About which we are VERY excited!!!

The Rehfeldt Christmas Eve party in on the 24th at Berean in Beloit, and Candice’s baby shower is a scant three days later! Not to mention, we’ll travel to Geneva on Christmas Day for Brett’s family’s Christmas party.

So, I may NOT have any decorations up, but you can’t say I won’t be celebrating!
