Since my Christmas decorating skill is a little on the green side, I got creative and turned an old cassette into Christmas tree ornaments.

Most of my ornaments are over at my parents' house and I haven't had time to stop by lately. My tree was looking a little sad with its ten hand-me-down (the word to make this look better is "vintage") ornaments and nondescript gold and red balls. If I have time (HA HA HAAA) I will think of something crafty to do with the cassette rings to make them look like real Christmas ornaments instead of some random items I found around the house and threw on the tree in an act of last minute desperation.

Something I have taken notice of during recent weeks when the sky is clear is that November and December brings us some amazing sunsets. When I leave work and do my usual round-and-round-and-round the parking deck, the western sky is ablaze with hues of orange and red. There's a positive for going to work late (which for my company is 8 am) and having to park on the top level of the deck. So now it's round-wow-and-round-aaah-and-round-ooooh-and round...
