so I've somehow managed to get behind w/ my holiday decorating. I had hoped that if I started thinking about what I wanted to do waaaay before the holiday I would have enough time. that maybe my laziness and general inability to pull things together would be equaled out by my preemptive planning. no such luck. I was collecting ideas for my halloween party back in August, yet here it is - a week until my party - and I still haven't even bought most of the supplies I will need. I don't even have a costume! I really don't understand how time gets away from me so fast.
so I guess I have to buy things early as well. and plan a concrete day to actually put them up. I had sort of planned to put my porch decorations up last Friday, but it was waaaaay too windy to try and string up spiderwebs. also I didn't have most of the items I would need. ugh.
I already know what I want to do for fall/November/Thanksgiving, but again - I need to buy the things I intend to use to decorate. I need two corn stalk bundles, gourds (which I did buy on Fall Activities Day), some pumpkins (hopefully I can just use the reverse side of the pumpkins we carve), and maybe a hay bale or two. I wish I had some sort of rustic bench or table for the front porch as well, but that might be asking a bit much. I'll have to keep an eye out next time we go antiquing. I wonder how much a bench like that costs...
anyway, that's the list of things I need to purchase by 11/01, along with all the last minute halloween things. this is all very distressing, what with the money diary and all. I don't want to know how much money I am wasting jsut to decorate my house. but alas, it must be done.
oh, and maybe I'd also like some fall leaf garland. my parents had some, I think. I wonder where they got it...
