For the past few days I’ve been pulling out the Christmas decorations and trying to clean up some clutter at the same time. Now it looks like Christmas threw up all over the place with only a couple of places actually decorated. I hung up the lighted pine garland around the door frame only to plug it in after struggling to get it just right and only half of the lights work. You’d think I would’ve remembered to plug <\/em>it in before I attempted to hang it up. I left it up there for now, at least it looks festive and maybe my husband can make it work when he gets back from his latest business trip.<\/p>\n

Last night J-Man announced he didn’t want the big present he’s been asking for. That’s the second special present he’s decided he doesn’t want for Christmas this year. I asked him what he did want and he said “I don’t know. I always get so many cool things that I would never think of so I’m good” Yes, it’s totally awesome he is content with what he has, but it sure makes it hard for Santa if he won’t say what he wants. Apparently his favorite Christmas present of all time is his “claw”. He likes to pick things up with it. Okay, good to know that video games don’t trump the $2.99 claw.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand how your nose can be completely stuffed up to the point where your eyes are swollen, but yet it\u2019s running at the same time.\u00a0 I cannot for the life of me blow my nose it\u2019s so stuffed up, but one nostril won\u2019t stop.\u00a0 OMG, so irritating!\u00a0 If I wasn\u2019t at work right now I\u2019d stuff a tissue in it to stop it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And, speaking of having nose issues, how is it that your nose running can feel like lava is pouring out of it onto your skin?\u00a0 It\u2019s your own fluid, but it\u2019s so painful!\u00a0 I guess I\u2019m festive for the season with the bright red nose!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since I\u2019m on a roll with the whole nose\/cold thing.\u00a0 If your nose is irritated I\u2019ve found out that the best thing for your sore skin is Chapstick Medicated lip balm.\u00a0 Of course you want to make sure you label it for just your nose.<\/p>\n
