Stray away
We have a stray cat in the neighborhood that has been spraying our door. A couple weekends ago we washed the whole door in vinegar, inside and out. I read that citrus deters sprayers, so we used orange glow (yet again the previous owner has provided supplies for MichMansion) on the porch. So far so good. Any other tips?
Gettin' nothin' but static
Apparently I need Houston humidity. On the car ride to Dallas my hair went wild with static; sticking out in all directions. The solution was sad and embarrassing... David rubbed his hands though his greese-ball hair and gave me some. With that and a hairband I survived my T-Day meal 'without' static hair. :/
Pygmy Elephants
After a year and a half of discussion over what was hit on a long drive from Abilene to Kansas David finally agrees that it was not a raccoon. I mean it was huge. We think it was a coyote. We saw one running along the road on Highway 6 on Thursday. (another suggestion was pygmy elephants... I'm still guessing no)
Merry and Bright
My Grinch let me decorate this weekend. I have been previously allowed the tiniest of Nutcrackers to sit on my bedside table... taunting me. He is serious by the way. A for real Grinch. Something about a traumatic experience...
We put together our brand new tree black friday gave us, we went artificial. (spare me. real is better. fake is easy.) Our first ornament on the tree this year is my new one I got at the Nutcracker Market several weeks ago. I know. It is so cute.
Here is my precious new Nutcracker from the NM. He reminds me of Mr. Peppermint. Anyone ever watch him? wiki -for your continuing education or nostalgic reminiscing.
Yes the hat is the best part.
Last one, of my dining table, new light fixture and square place mats. This is a plea, if you see square placemats let me know. They are so so hard to find and are usually wooden and $20 a piece... that is too much btw. I got these gold ones last year on clearance and I LOVE THEM.We're gonna party
Things are crazy at work preparing for our big holiday party. That would be some of the explanation for my lack of blogging and...
Punch it
David and I have made a punch list for the house. I have a big giant list of things I want done before the new year. So MichMansion will start the year off right. Hoping to have before and afters as a New Year's treat!!
ok done.

Love your grinch!
My guy has grease ball hair, too, but I never thought to borrow some when my air goes static wild as we head into the wilds of the West Texas. Happy decorating and Merry 1st Christmas in your new home!
