Marshall and I slept in pretty late this morning, still exhausted from our travels the day before. We eventually made it from the bed to the couch where we watched TV while I did laundry. Eventually, Billy showed up with our luggage my Mom had brought home from Aunt Jo's. Before we knew it, it was the afternoon and I was starving. We showered and headed over the bridge to Leland where we were to help Stacey and Brian decorate Susan's house for Christmas. Before we could do anything though we had to eat so we stopped at PT's Grille along the way where I had an awesome chicken sandwich and Marshall had a burger. Once fueled up we were ready to go.
Now Susan has been gone a month to Conneticut where she is working CAT duty for hurricane Sandy. She had asked Stacey to decorate her house for her. Little did she know what our decorating plans were for her. Susan hates blow up Christmas decorations. Actually, she loathes them. So what did we do? Well, we put an 8 foot blow up Santa on her roof and 7 more blow up characters in her front yard. Not to mention the flashing icicle lights we hung from her roof and the colored ones we strung on her tree. But our decorating skills didn't stop there. Nope, we also wrapped virtually anything and everything in her house - from her pillows to her coffee maker and remotes. The only places we didn't touch were her office and her bedroom. We wrapped the towels and the rug, her canned goods and frozen entrees, her spoons, the candles, her pictures on the wall, her fireplace and TV and even Sailor's dog collars. Nothing was safe from our wrapping skills.
By the time we left there it was dark and our wrapping paper was dwindling down. On the way home, Marshall and I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some food for the house. We ended up settling on a frozen pizza for dinner and Marshall rented Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter from Redbox. I think I only made it through 20 minutes of the movie before I was fast asleep on the couch.
