It took me all of 15 minutes to decorate for Valentines Day. Most of you are probably wondering why I even bother to decorate, and the answer is easy. It took me only 15 minutes to do so, and my baby bassets love it. The only problem with decorating for Valentine’s day is the issue of me going up into the attic to get the box with the decorations in it. I love it up in the attic. So much so that I could spend hours up there being an attic troll. The baby bassets aren’t allowed up there, and hubby hates how hot it is. It’s the only place in the house that is completely my own. If a witch were to come to my door and curse me into a monster, I would trick her into making me an attic troll. Then I could spend all my time up there, in the warmth, organizing boxes of junk. Although, I guess I don’t really need to wait for a witch to curse me. I could just go up there and clean it out again if I wanted. No. I will save that day for when the family is particularly crazy and I need an escape.
