Dear Ellen,
I have discovered something about owning a home – it feels great to do things to make the house nicer, especially when those things take little effort.
Changing one light bulb is for dopes, anyone can do that.
But changing FIVE!? In just one day!? Well, self, you deserve a 3-week break from home improvement work.
Sincerely,

Every year as far back as I can remember my family has decorated sugar cookies during Christmas. It’s a great tradition. Largely because the cookies are delicious, and then they’re coated in frosting (mix powdered sugar and milk until desired consistency achieved, add color) … It’s so simple, and amazing.
One of the “rules” with the cookies is that if you break one while decorating it, it’s just no good to have on display so you have to go ahead and eat it. Oh so many fumbling fingers come Christmas time just can’t help but break a tree-shaped cookie in two.
Here are a few samples from this year’s decorating.
My mom gave me a haircut today (I wrote this when I was home). She gave my dad, brother and I haircuts while I was growing up – same(ish) great(ish) haircut, same great price!. She was the Henry Ford of haircuts, we could have any haircut we wanted as long as it was the one she did.
Here were some overheard in the barber’s chair (a stool from our kitchen) snippiets:
Mom: Oof!
Minutes later.
Mom: Wow …
Minutes later.
[Mom asking for clarification on what I want.]
Me: I don’t know. Something that looks decent?
Mom: Well I don’t know what it’ll look like.
(Swell.)
Minutes later.
Mom: Oooh. Whitewalled.
Me: Good. I’ve been wanting to look more militaristic.

Anywho … Thanks for the haircut ma!
