Hey Chynna, thanks for the wishes
Funny how a day can turn around......
Hubster found a place that had 4 trees left, all of them marked down to 1/2 price. We thought, oh well, a tree is a tree, so even if no one else wanted it, we would take what we could get at this point. Welllll, he brought the tree home and it's so unbelievably perfect, I couldn't have picked a better tree out of a hundred trees. The man told hubby that the reason it hadn't sold is that most people don't want one that big and that expensive......but at 1/2 price, it was fine and the height.....!!!......the angel is just about 1/2 inch from touching the ceiling.....just perfect.
As for the sweater. I had resigned myself to going out and finding another gift (with all of that extra time I have on my hands), when I got a phone call from the owner of the company in Ireland that makes the sweaters! It was so cool. He had a cute Irish accent and told me that he was so sorry and that somehow my order was lost in the shuffle and that he was going to FedX the sweater today and I should have it tomorrow or Monday. I was so relieved that I couldn't be angry with him. In his cute little Irish accent he said "Thanks for being so understanding, miss. To be honest, I was afraid I would be hammered and rightly so"....so cute.
So my Christmas guardian angel was looking after me today, fer sur.
