Christmas Decorating Pictures

Here are some pictures of the Inspiration Home Tour house that I decorated on the weekend. We had the Roger's Chocolate resident chocolatier stationed in our kitchen. How lucky, hey?
Our Wonderful city is now shut down because of snow! I guess it is officially that time of year. It makes it hard for me to say Bah-hum bug. I have actually been caught whistling Jingle Bells around the house. (Not that that is different from any other time of the year. It is my whistling song.)

E-Commerce Poll

OK, so I am doing a lot of research and studies on E- Commerce. Here are a couple quick questions that I am going to throw at you... Thank you in advance for any feed back you can give me.

1) What type of products do you feel comfortable buying off of the internet?

2) What is it that propels you to buy off of a certain online store? (ie. security, good deals, etc.)

3) What type of item do you wish was sold online? (Maybe you are just not happy with the present selection..)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is not a marketing ploy or anything like that... it is just to satisfy my curiosity... to see how my opinions fair with everyone else's.

"And a BAH HUMBUG to you!!!"

OK, I am up to my eye balls in Christmas already!!! Ahhhhhh!!!! I am prepping a home for a Christmas home tour that will be showcased in a couple weekends from now. I feel like we should all be in the midst of the December rush!! (Not just me, and every reatailer in the country.) But it is only November. Heck, you Americans haven't even had your Thanksgiving yet! It is so sad, but by the time December rolls around I am DONE!!! But then... Oh wait! I have to start decorating my clients homes for Christmas!!! Ahhhh. By the time I get to my 2nd Xmas tree I feel like I am in Christmas HELL!! (Not that I am complaining, it is my job right?)Do I feel like decorating my house for Xmas? NOPE!!!
But yeah, I am just warning you all now, I may be a real scrooge in a few weeks! (This is where Celeste comments "How is that different from the rest of the year Ernie?") ;)True....

ERNIE brings home a man!!!

No, not a real man!!... let's not get ahead of ourselves. lol. I won the Master Networker award for my BNI chapter the other night at our regional gala. The award looks much like an Oscar (or a manly figure if you will) It was lots of fun! I got to dress up all perdy and schmooz. I even brought out some of the bling. (The diamonds, I am talking about the diamonds!)I wore a dress, much to Celeste's surprise. (Mine too actually. It was a last minute decision. I'm talking 20 min before I had to walk out the door!)She was sure that I would cop out and wear black pants. Anyway... Here are some pics of the evening...(well, not really of the evening...more just me and my man.) You should have seen the look of shock and disbelief on the faces of my dear roommates when I told them I brought a man home. Ha ha, I had a good laugh.
