Ooo... thanks!

[Stringer]

Ooo.... thanks!

That's why I am her ma'am... Sheriff's job to look out for you...

[HistorianChick]

Aww shucks. Thanks, Sir Stringer!

[Stringer]

Aww shucks. Thanks, Sir Stringer!

Welcome... it's only 40 bucks, but it's nice to be appreciated.

Hi everyone! I'm here for a few, then I have to clean.

Stringy, I have to take my tree and other decs down today, I don't want to! You're right, it seems that they're up for such a short time.

Chicky, I hope you feel better, take Sneezy up on the rub and chocolates, I hear that he has magic hands. :)

He Startykins, how are you?

Starby, are you sleeping, or are you here? I can't see you! ;)

[Stringer]

Yeah... depressing.

[Alty]

It is depressing, and so much work. I love my christmas decs, I tell myself I only put them up for the kids, but really, I do it for me too. I can't believe another Christmas has come and gone.

Now I'm looking forward to summer, especially because it's freezing here right now. Brrrrr, really cold, really, really cold! I want sun! :(

You and I have to do the following;

1. Get out of our chairs.

2. Move towards the decorations.

3. Start pulling them down.

4. Have a cigarette and some more coffee.

[Alty]

Can we do that list backwards?

[Stringer]

Can we do that list backwards?

That would mean redoing all our planning... Ok!

[Alty]

Okay, let's start.

On the count of 3. One, two, three. I think we need to redo that, I went too fast. One... two... three... I don't want to! :(

Can't I just leave the decs up? It will be Christmas again in 12 months.

[HistorianChick]

Mine are still up! :)

[Stringer]

The tree will begin to rot and smell, bugs, mold and all... but what the hey... It's kind of like yesterdays newspaper, but I have been know to read it again... so...

[Alty]

My tree is fake. :)

[HistorianChick]

OO OO mine too! :)

[Alty]

Then we can leave it up Chicky! :)

Ooooh, I'm so tempted, but it's taking up space.

Darnit, time to suck it up and get er done. :(

After my cigarette and coffee. :)

[Stringer]

My tree is fake. :)

Fake?? OK... then leave it for the next 11 months and 23 days... now one will notice... but please put away the CD's for Christmas jingles... K? "Jingle Bells" in August may not cut it..

[Alty]

I'm sucking it up Stringer, I'm getting er done, just have to haul the boxes up, and then I'm doing it. I hate this part. :(

I'll be back later for a progress report, that is, if I've made progress. ;)
