Of course what is NOT visible is my wife's Pile Of Organization consisting of the foot high drift of mail and papers waiting to be magically organized by the accounting and filing elves.

I bought a special trash can for that.

My closet has mounds of paperwork and documents waiting to be filed...I plan to do it every weekend, but for some reason, something always comes up.  :uhsure:

I picked up extra tables so I can put more stuff under them and pretend it doesn't exist.

I have lots of boxes.

Sounds like what my parents have been doing.  :uhsure: 

I've stuffed all my important papers on the top shelves of the two closets in my bedroom.  (Why it has two closets, I will never know. :confused: )

I had a set of Encyclopedia Brittanica's World Books dating back to 1964 and I can NOT find them.  :censored:

LOL!

I have a 7 year old son and a 14 year old daughter Frank.

Better Homes And Gardens is a distant memory at this point.

I turned my wife loose on the paper drift that has been threatening to avalanch and kill me in the kitchen the last week.
I have high hopes that there will be countertop available by dinner. :)

I have a 9 year old, 15 year old and 19 year old (who admittadly lives away at college now), what does that have to do with the subject?   :uhsure:   :p

There are some great plastic boxes that have wheels on one end and slide under the bed.....you can fit at least 4 under a queen and they hold lots of unfiled stuff.....not that I  would know ya understand....  :innocent:



you may need to buy the bed lifts in order to fit them under the bed....but they do make the bed a better height   :uhsure:

Had to go looking for this thread so I could post a few pictures of our tree.

With flash (should I take down the pictures just for christmas?).  No presents yet.





With out flash, it is blurry, I couldn't figure out the right setting.  Ignore the tennis ball, the dogs were playing.   :p







Nice balls.

Cincinnati had it's first little snow a few days ago. (took a quick pic out the back window) Of course,  two days later it was 57 degrees and the  snow was gone. Then we has a bit of an ice shower, then light snow then in the upper 40's with a warm springish breeze.

I'm predicting a white Christmas but then again this is Ohio, where we all say, "If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes... it will change"!!!

Your tree looks like it is glowing, how did you do that?

Oh and I didn't even notice the handprints until you pointed it out (I still can't quite tell that they are handprints)  and I notice EVERYTHING.

I messed with the settings on the camera...that finally was a setting that took out all flash, but didn't make it totally unrecognizable if I the camera was not completely still. I'll have to get the other half here to get some with the 'good' camera since he can probably get them even better then that. I wanted to pics you are talking about because I really wanted to the lights shimmering kidn of thing you know? I'm going to ask him to put a filter that makes the lights kind of twinkle too. I'll post the results we get.

As for the mantle--doh! That brass I don't notice those things unless I'm right up next to it or I take a picture of it. And it wasn't the week I wipe it down with the windex. I'd love to just take that down and open it, but I think it gets very cold if it's wide open like that.

Thanks. It is the perfect spot for the tree.....we just don't see it much in the living room. I don't have a spot for it in the family room/kitchen.
