1. We put up our first Christmas tree!
Here is our Christmas tree! Picking out a tree in NYC is a little different than how it was done while growing up, but this one is perfect for our apartment. We don't have a massive ornament collection yet so candy canes were the perfect solution to empty branches. The only issue we are having is that it doesn't seem to be drinking much water. I think it's drinking a little but not enough that we have to refill the stand every day. We put it in water about 10 minutes after getting a fresh cut, so I don't think that would have been enough time for the trunk to close up with sap. Does anyone have any suggestions? Christmas is only about a week away and we don't want to un-decorate it to make a fresh cut. :-(
2. We like to play Chess
We're big TV and movie fans. It also seems like there are many distractions online every day. D and I have been trying to play chess together as a way to unwind a bit instead of zoning out digitally. Sometimes our games last for quite a while, but D usually wins. I'm getting better though.
3. OMG Homeland and Revenge!
Without giving away spoilers from last night, I was totally shocked by what happened on both shows. Especially Homeland. I wonder where the show will go from here.
4. I'm still trying to find a niche for the blog
It's been about 6 months of blogging. Yea! I'm still not sure where this adventure will take me. The box reviews are fun, but I know there are many other box blogs. Any suggestions from the world out there of how to make the blog even more interesting? Any requests for posts? ;-)
That's all for today! More box reviews coming soon!
