Backgrounds and the first bit of Christmas cheer

Yes, it's true. I've been ignoring the Thanksgiving dishes (hey, we only had it yesterday!) and playing with Photoshop instead. Usually I'm tweaking my photos, but this time I thought I'd try my hand at blog backgrounds.

What do you think?
It's rather stark, but I like it. =)

My dad and I just finished putting up the outdoor Christmas lights! I'm so glad to see them glowing out there in the dark and rain.

The tree comes next!
Oi. That means I have to brave the boxes in the garage.
Maybe I'll fortify myself with a turkey and cranberry sandwich first.

PS. I really did the dishes yesterday. I may be a bachelorette, but I'm not THAT bad!
