Christmas is coming early this year

Whirlwhind weekend. Here we were excited to be spending the weekend here and not doing anything. Friday night we spent the night at a great new Mexican restaurant called Sala that's only a few blocks from us. Cheap margarita's. Enough said. We finished up the night with movie, then crashing early. Saturday we heard that Garden Ridge was having 50% of their Christmas decorations. Even though it's early, I didn't want to miss the sale, so we headed up there with Brian and his boyfriend Dwayne to spend way too much money. It was nice spending a few hours with them shopping and having lunch.
I made the mistake of taking a 24 hour Allegra for my allergies and I didn't sleep well Friday night, or at all for that matter. Saturday, I tried to take a nap which didn't work. The medication had a horrible effect on me and I felt jittery all day. We started decorating last night (don't judge us, more on that in a minte) and I had the energy of a work horse. Nothing like doping yourself up to be able to even sleep. I'll never take that shit again.
It was a big deal for Steven to be in the mood for putting up Christmas decorations, let lone wanting to start this early. It's been years since he's wanted to do anything for Christmas, let alone do it this early. We have a lot of parties, dinners and events coming up over the next month, including a trip to Disneyland, so we wanted to start early and get it finished before our lives got too hectic.
It's starting to look a lot like the Holidays around here.
No pictures until it's perfect. We're both a little anal retentive, to say the least.
We're even doing a Disney themed Christmas tree.
How gay is that?

What would Christmas be without Mark decorating before Halloween?

(A little late this year, huh?)

I kinda lost my train of thought after "cheap margaritas". But you got me back with the Disney themed tree. (oooooo shiny!) :)
