Nothing can get you in holiday mood like climbing around your roof on cold afternoon hanging cheap plastic light strands over the edge of your roof. Or maybe not, but it definitely reminds you that the big holiday is not too far away.

We decided to do something we usually don’t – put up some Christmas lights. Now, we’re not going to be winning and contests any time soon, but we are one of the few on our street. Now we just need to get some decorations on that live tree that we can’t get to stand up straight, and we’ll be in business.

For those who don’t know yet, I have passed the comprehensive exams for my degree program, and so I will truly be finished with my Master’s degree this month. Just a few more things to wrap up, and I am done. Done, done, done 🙂

Does anybody watch Heroes? That has got to be my favorite show on TV now. Well, we only really watch 3 three shows anyway, so I guess that might not be saying much. Last night’s cliffhanger (they don’t return until mid-January) was awesome. If you don’t watch Heroes, you can actually watch all episodes online here.
