We haven't done a tree in a few years, today I decided to put it up since I've missed it. Pulled down the ladder, climbed into the dusty, dusty, loft space and found the tree and a box of decorations. (missed on box, but it's a small one and I'll live without it).

Cleared the space for the tree on the desk (huge tree dontcha' know ), put on the lights, pulled out all the ornaments and hung them, then realized I can't find an extension cord anywhere in the house 

 

I know hubby has heavy duty cords in his truck, might even know where there's a lightweight one, but in the meantime I don't get to enjoy the lights and sparkle of a lit tree.  Oh well, guess I'll survive this too...
