Hi you guys! Look it’s December! How did that happen??
So my laptop died and then I got a new one (thanks, Black Friday internet sales on Thanksgiving), and haven’t been doing much house stuff thanks to this little jerk:

I’m dying to paint the upstairs stairway area or to take down the hidden secret wallpaper underneath the crappy paint in the guest room, but this guy can’t be left alone for a second. The last thing that needs to happen is for him to get into a bucket of paint or eat a mouthful of lead paint covered wallpaper.
Anyway, so we got some Christmas lights up. Next up is getting a tree, which we were going to do today but Alex came home late and then we put up lights instead. We don’t have a big ladder so we can’t put up serious lights like our neighbors do, but leave us alone we’ve only lived here six months. Six months!
I’ll post pictures of the tree when we get it up, and then some new sweet thrifty finds I’ve picked up in the last few months eventually. See ya!
PS look at Puff standing all proudly on the front steps.

I was hoping Puff was still around!! I was afraid that the new puppy meant something terrible had happened, but I didn’t want to be all nosy blog friend-y and ask. Are you guys crate training?
Don’t worry, Puff is around forever! Crate training not so much, baby gates in the kitchen instead. He’s doing really well at training, puppies are the best!
