Dangle Crazy

Thursday night, knowing I didn't have to get up early for MOW, I stayed up very late. Friday morning, my body, apparently used to getting up early on Fridays, woke me up at 8:10 a.m. I think I had about 3 1/2 hours of sleep. Since there was nothing to be done about it, I got up.

I called Lo a little before 10:00 to tell her about my Thanksgiving day. Then I started to fade. Right at 10:30 a.m., I interrupted whatever she was saying to loudly, too loudly I thought, proclaim: Hey! I'm sorry but I have to take a nap RIGHT NOW.

I clicked the "off" button on the phone and flopped over on the couch. The TV was on HGTV. I woke up a little after 1:00 and HGTV was running a special on Christmas decorations. As I was slowly waking up, they showed something like "Cool idea #5" or something and BAM! I was all, Oooooh, I LOVE that! It was something about dangling things on a very long string. I was half asleep but, man, I fell in love. Then I went a little crazy this past weekend.

I hung these red things from the chandelier in the living room:
Then I hung some of My Sweetie's vintage Snoopy and Charlie Brown ornaments:
And if that weren't enough, I took it outside and hung these ornaments around the front porch:

I guess there really is something to being suggestible when you first wake up. Now I want to find more places to dangle ornaments. I bought some more today.

Around here you can get these HUGE Christmas balls to hang outside. They look pretty cool.

You should try to dangle them from the blades and see what happens when you turn the ventilator on. It might be cool, a little risky but cool. ;o)

I've been suggestible when first awakened, but not usually for hanging ornaments. But, I do like Big Brother's idea.

Ooooh...pretty! I didn't know your sweetie had a collection of vintage Snoopy & Charlie Brown ornaments. I bet they look fabulously festive hanging there! Also, we backed up...and drove by to see your outside decor. It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas... :D

Jazz,
~~I saw some of those. You should hang just three on your balcony. At least I think you have a balcony. Am I imagining that?

BB,
~~Yeah, I'm gonna say no.

Ian,
~~You have such a dirty mind.

Carole,
~~You didn't see the half of it. I went a little crazy. You'll love these snoopy ornaments.

Very cool. I'm running late on the decorating; maybe I'll do some dangling in the next couple of days.
