Settling in With a New Year

I still do not have a routine, which is bothering me! But I am sure I'll find one. Screwy weather, strange work hours, and everything's out of whack. I find myself only cooking dinner a couple of times a week, and that's not right. So this week I have a full dinner menu planned out. Tonight was steak with squash and grilled pasilla peppers. Tomorrow is pork ribs. The next night is salmon. Friday will be a roast. It certainly helps that I have no more night shifts this week, working at 6:30pm makes it really difficult to serve dinner.

However, I did manage to slip one good routine in; I went to KMart to see what Christmas stuff was on clearance. I buy up a whole set of whatever and use it for the next year's Christmas theme. That's why there's boxes and boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations in storage.
I didn't find a full set of tree decor, but I did find a very unique stocking, that I will be proudly displaying come December 2011:


Now I need to find some Elvis-type decorations for the tree!!

Happy New Year, everyone.
