Don't Lick That!

'tis the season for A Christmas Story.

Day Three of being stuck at home. Not counting Wednesday, even though I should count it.

Congratulations are due, I taught myself guitar.
Every time someone else would try to teach me it by telling me what to do their instructions just sort of whizzed over my head, you could hear them, passing by as my eyes glazed over and I became internally engrossed in my own thoughts. I don't take spoken direction well.
But, ye gads! I can read guitar chords! And I even tuned the ancient Yamaha!

So, I haven't completely wasted my free time. I holiday decorated too. AND had a wild rumpus in the snow... all by myself. Dammit. But I really need to go Christmas shopping for the ones I love... most of the time. Which means a trip away from home! Yay!

My grandmother is moving in- to town- not into our home. I've never had a relative close by before. It'll be... interesting.

Speaking of Christmas, this is my Christmas list, even though it's like a week away now. Snuck up on me.
