productive day
i went to target tonight. the table & chairs i bought last week went on sale this week - so i got about $30 refunded to my debit card. i, of course, then spent that money on more stuff. it only seemed fair. :)
i got really cute flannel sheets. and a snowflakey pump of hand soap. and a winter-themed box of facial tissues. Christmas-themed? i'm not sure. i think it's trees & snow ... that really would just be winter. but there might be decorations on the trees ... that would make it Christmas, i suppose. hmmm. i'm not interested enough to go look, but i'm interested enough to ramble about it here. interesting.
i looked at their Christmas decorations, again. i'm contemplating my Christmas tree. i thought i wanted white or silver. of the two, i decided i wanted white. then today i was looking online and saw some BLACK Christmas trees that look really great. supposedly wal-mart has one in the local stores that's black, 5' tall and only $48. that seems like a good deal. it's a "slim" tree, so it wouldn't take up as much space as a "full" tree ... that could be good. and it's pre-lit, which i like. i don't like going to wal-mart, but i think i'll go check it out. april found me a great 6' pre-lit black tree online at a really good price, too. it's fuller than the wal-mart tree. and it wouldn't require me going to wal-mart. we'll see. i still lean towards making my own tree ... but the amount of work involved seems a bit daunting.
i had an acorn squash start molding on me. doesn't that seem strange? it was in a cool, dark cabinet. no humidity. and it had been purchased less than a month ago. it should've held for quite some time. hmph.
i got my car fixed today. i had myself all prepared to say "shouldn't that have been covered by my warranty?" when they gave me a bill ... but she handed me the keys and said "i'll send the paperwork in the mail once it's been entered in the computer. have a good night!" so i'm gonna guess they're not gonna try & charge me. i could be wrong ... but i'm thinking they wouldn't have let me drive the car off their lot if they thought i owed them money.
i used my pizza stone to re-heat pizza tonight. excellent job. crisp crust, melty cheese. i do love that stone.
i thought about posting a photo or two ... but i think i'll save those for a night when i just don't feel like talking. ten days left in NaBloPoMo, it's bound to happen. :)

Did the stem of your squash break? Because that's what preserves winter squash through the winter. i wonder if having it downstairs would help? Like a root cellar, you know.
How would you go about making a tree? And i agree that a black tree is very unique, very artsy, and very 'becca.
it may have broken. the mold did seem to start at the stem area & was working its way down. hmmm. i didn't know the stem was so important.
and i'm currently thinking resin papier mache paste & cardboard tubes.
Lots of information. Thanks for sharing. Love the warranty story.
I'm surprised I didn't see you in Target! It was early for us though - right after dinner. Also, I would have kept a squash in the fridge if you were planning on having it for a month?
