Who am I kidding, I don't even have space to walk in the joint right now.......

Originally Posted By ilvdland OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!! I bought the fiber-optic tree. It's sitting on top of the TV right now, as it won't fit in the window - it's a lot bigger than I thought. I had the Charlie Brown tree in my hand today (I went to Urban Outfitters to get my offensive Christmas cards as usual) and I decided to put it back - I'm glad I did!!It's going to look cool when it gets dark...... As soon as I find my camera cord/battery business I will take a picture for you Trailsend!!!!

You may have seen the JBStew/DlandDug abode on another thread here. But what is most certainly NOT shown is the two car garage full of MY boxes waiting to be unpacked. Every time I am over at JBStew's I prowl the garage, trying to find things (...the remote control for the TV... the Christmas box with all my hand cut snowflakes... a two way telephone jack...). I am also SO glad to hear you have a tree up. It's really, really important. All the best for 2006!
