Oh Christmas Tree!

One of my flaws is that I have a terrible time asking people for help. So that curtain rod that needed to be hung with anchors drilled in the wall…I did it. Dimmer switch, and pendant lamp installed and hung…did that too. Flat tire changed…well I tried but the lug nuts were too tight. I would just rather do these things by myself than wait for help.

My Christmas tree this year was no different, I got it over the weekend, emphasis on the I part. I had a feeling it might be a little challenging to buy a tree, get it up four floors, and in the stand BY YOURSELF, but I figured if I got stuck anywhere along the way I could always call for backup. Oh and that minor minor detail that I’m allergic to sap too, oh well, brang it! When I finally got the whole thing up my mom asked me how in the world I did it by myself, I had to remind her that I clearly didn’t set a weight lifting record in high school for nothing.

And just for the record some of these were taken with my point and shoot.

The Home Depot dude who offered to help me put in on my car, then asked me to retake a few photos because he didn’t think he looked tough enough. A little photo sesh was the least I could do.

Before and then the night after I decorated it.

And what could be better than putting up your Christmas tree you ask, well, snow of course.

My backyard.
