a day in the life...

so tradition in the johnson family consists of a live tree @ christmas.

i carry that tradition on even though i now live on my own.

when christmas is over, i take down decorations real quick, they make me sad, knowing that it is a full year until they come out again and i think they get lonely through the year.

so the ornaments and lights are off and my tree is real dead, maybe 20 needles left on the poor guy, no joke. i talked my friend kirby into helping me throw it over my deck onto the ground below, drag it to my truck and drop it off at the christmas tree recycling place at the hobby lobby. but before that, it was imperative that we meet lisa and lora for dinner @ chilis.

the tree flew out of the back of my truck and into the middle of the road.

cars were dodging it.

i thought it was going to take a life.

my friend kirby cannot rationalize well sometimes in sticky situations.

her take on the problem "LET'S CALL 911"

???

because i didn't want someone's life to be taken out by a christmas tree, i turned the truck around.

jumped out.

ran across 4 lanes of traffic (busy traffic i might add)

grabbed the tree without even stopping running-it was something you would have seen out of an action movie.

i would like to think that angelina jolie would be casted as my character...

threw the tree in a ditch and ran back to the truck.

what was kirby doing you might ask?

filming it all on her phone.

all while listening to the judds on my radio-young love (strong love)

good times.

memory made, mission accomplished.

p.s. i'm starting a blog, nienie and cousin inspired me too.

i hope it sticks for a while.
