Fireplace Christmas

Yes, I promised to post fireplace Christmas lights.  I also promised myself that I'd charge my camera battery and find the cable that will connect it to the computer.  Fail!  Picture still to come- the lights provided a significant amount of light in a rather dimly lit space and was a talking point for anyone who came over. Success!

I recently went to the dentist where I saw that they use their fireplace as a Poinsettia holder.  Hilarious.

Anyone else not at all thrilled about all of the engagements that happened around Christmas/New Years?

I was a little hesitant to log into Facebook that week since it seemed like every day, someone new was announcing an engagement.  Don't get me wrong, that did not even one bit stop me from wasting my free time on Facebook, but STILL!

Then it got me thinking, through a conversation at work with a handful of 30-something women.

If the engagement was a surprise (as most that I saw on Facebook seemed to be), what if the girl doesn't like the ring?  It is their hand that they have to look at everyday.  Did they have any input?  At least they all seem happy with the outcome- or at least they are within the first few hours while changing their relationship status for the world to see.

Unrelated - Did you get any holiday presents that you really don't like/want?
