My husband saw a Christmas tree and he can’t seem to get it out of his mind.
So we have been moving the furniture around, vacuuming cobwebs, and generally readying the house to receive the tree.
Next we go out and see if the tree is still there, and if not, we will go on the annual tree search.
I think he is even more into this than I am, although he would deny it.

that the tree trimming was concluded and the debris pile hauled away before Thanksgiving.
As I sit here, I wonder what changed about me, having undertaken that task. I may have gained some upper body strength, or I may have strained multiple parts of my upper body.
My honey definitely is still suffering, which means he gets extra time in on the massage table. Not a horrible fate.
I checked into a chipper purchase today. The one I want requires that the cut pieces dry out before going through the cutters or they will cause a green jam in there. I think I may see about renting a chipper that has nastier jaws.
This changing myself piece needs some sub goals, like
: walk 10000 steps a day or skip chocolate
: clean my bathroom or clean my desk
: get a haircut or skip the pedicure
Well, you see what I mean. For some reason I am better at chocolate and pedicures than haircuts and various cleaning chores.
But the trees are trimmed. And that was huge.

Fancy wedding cakes
I am not going into the baking business, at all. So I need a reliable source. One thing about Hawaii is the culture is so laid back that the reliability part is faint.
There are some possibilities with one of the markets in Hilo that has a bakery. That is my fall back position.
Meantime, today I e-mailed two bakers on the island to see if they want to work with me. And we’ll see what happens. I can’t even find a photo of the cake in my head… This one is sort of it.
This could prove… interesting.
