$325 worth of Christmas wreath, aaaaaw yeah!

Yesterday was nice that business was slow and end of month paperwork, computer work, and tying up loose ends got done. The sewer/drain people came out, and they had to break out the "big guns" for our kitchen drain to get going again. They even re-attached our condensate tube so there wasn't a kink in the hose. Our drains don't have the much-needed air-vents to let the water flow. There's another thing on the house that needs to be fixed. At the end of the day our office manager came in with a wreath bought for us from the owner's wife. Oh. My. Gawd. It is just, uh, busy. I can only describe it as an Alice In Wonderland acid nightmare. It's base is flocked artificial pine, with a humongous bow that is lime green and hot pink and black and white polka dot. There's a full-sized toy monkey wearing a jester suit. There's a snowman with a feather ballerina skirt with spindly ballerina legs. There's a cat with a snake-looking tail and little elf legs and elf shoes. And a reindeer wearing a sweater with a potted Christmas tree on it's back. The rest of the space is filled with full-sized ornaments. The black and white checkerboard ornaments complement the black and white in the bow. I tell you, it just sucks you in. We just find ourselves staring at it, it's so crazy. We went online to see how much it was. $325! Apparantly it's from a company owned by the founder of our company's daughter. Get that? Me and Crazy Woman would have been happy with the money.
