The Tooth Doesn't Hurt

Saw my dentist today. He says there's no structural damage to the crown, so he smoothed off one edge of the broken porcelain cover and are going to keep an eye on it.

Since daisy_knotwise was off work today and I was home early because of the trip to the dentist, we took advantage of the situation to run out and pick up a Christmas tree from the lot we've been going to for the last several years. So there's a Frazer fir in our living room thawing out. By morning, we should be able to start hanging ornaments.

Is it a Treezilla? My parents' new house has high ceilings in the living room so I'm eyeing...well, okay, maybe nothing too tall (since I do most of the trimming work while they supervise) but...maybe a *little* taller than we've had recently.

Actually, I'll just be glad that we don't have to take the tree up 6 floors in an elevator this year. (And, yes, 6 floors without an elevator would have been worse. I agree. *grin*)

Glad your crown is intact, though.

9 foot tall, supposedly, but not nearly as wide around as Treezilla. Fortunately, I bought "Santa's Sturdy Tree Stand" several years ago, so the tree should stay standing. There's something to be said for a lot of metal as opposed to plastic.

Congratulations to your parents on the new house! And enjoy the tree (and the easy access to the living room). And remember that a ladder is your friend when putting something on the top of the tree.

In our case, it was an angel, with the ladder and a pair of barbecue tongs to get her up there.
