Outside decorations up..

We were up at 7am this morning. I had to go give blood at 8:30am and then on to see Dr. Bill at 9am. We had a heavy frost last night and the car had to sit in the driveway as all the Christmas stuff is in the garage. We made it to the blood place at 8:18am. I finally made it to the first window at 8:45am and had my blood taken at 9am. So much for having an appointment. Dr. Bill was on vacation, so Dr. Jill was running a little behind. We were finally done there at 10am. We went and had breakfast at McDonalds as we had coupons. Then I had to go to the UPS store to mail a few things. Then we went to Lowe's to return the lights bulbs that did not work and get a new light switch for the bathroom. We finally made it home around 11am only to find the electric was off. We knew it was going to happen between 9 and 1pm, so it was not a surprise. They had to hook up the house across the street, so it only took 45 minutes more after we got home. We went ahead and started putting out the outside Christmas decorations. We had everything out and hooked up by 12:30pm. We still needed to put up the house lights, but wanted to get some lunch first. We also had to reset all the clocks. We had lunch and headed back outside. It only took us an hour to get up the house lights. I love the little thing that just snaps onto the gutter. It saves so much time. We then put all the empty tubs back upstairs and the car had it's nice warm home again. Beth worked on the floor and put the adhesive down. We then had dinner and she went back down to put the tile down. She wants a toilet in by this weekend. She is tired of running upstairs to use the potty. So once the floor is done, I will set the toilet and then see what kind of vanity we want. I am going shopping tomorrow to see if I can finish up my Christmas list. Wish me luck.
