because i'm always a litta behind.
this is the national christmas tree on the mall. and the national menorah in the background, which nobody ever seems to mention. i wonder if that makes it sad. the national tree is surrounded by 50 smaller trees each decorated to represent a state. usually christmas holiday music is blaring and a bonfire roaring and you can walk around and view the trees up close. but because the snowstorm had just finished dumping that morning (remember the 20 inches?) the chain link was installed to keep everyone out. i'm sure it was for safety reasons. blah blah blah. the music was still blaring though.
awkward family photos, anyone?
a little frolicking at the capitol never hurt anyone. annoyed, yes. hurt, no.
the capitol tree is often referred to as "the people's tree" and is brought in from one of the nation's state parks (i think). this one hails from arizona and was decorated by arizonian schoolchildren. we liked it the best.
you can't see it, but the flag is actually flying over the senate chambers, signaling that, even at 9:30pm on sunday the 20th, the senators were still - er - discussing the healthcare bill. i hope they know how to whip it.*photos courtesy of the amazing tali

this is SHERRY CARPET, not LOLA. she is trying to pass herself off as me by taking over my computer.
That tree looks SOOOO familiar. I think I've been there! And you know what? Sometimes I love to annoy people and it's probably because I can be so easily annoyed. I guess sometimes I just feel the need to get back at people. I wish there was someone I could annoy right now, in fact. Maybe I already have. HA!
i love my family. and you, too, skeen.
I still didn't think of anything clever to say, but I liked this post anyway. A lot. Way cool. Even the canoodling and frolicking. Especially the frolicking. So I feel blessed that the WV word for my comment today is *woryint*. I'm just gonna stop woryint about it. And that's all I have to say about that.
Thanks for posting. And have a nice day.
