Poor Sarah Michelle didn't have wicker baskets in her attic. (AP Photo/Columbia Pictures, Kenji Takeuchi)
I found a cache of wicker baskets in my attic.
More specifically, Lubbock found them when he volunteered to investigate what was up there, as I've never felt compelled to do so. In fact, Youngun, whose grandmother owned the house before I bought it from him, had never even been up there. So I could only imagine the treasures or, perhaps, characters from "The Grudge" that resided above my ceiling.
Turns out it's a bunch of wicker baskets, which I'm debating filling with ornaments or pine cones spray-painted silver and gold. Or some un-spray-painted magazines, I don't know. I'll probably just leave them up there, truth be told. I don't want some Japanese woman yanking me up there and killing me like poor Sarah Michelle Gellar. Spoiler alert: Don't read that last sentence again if you haven't seen "The Grudge."
Anyway, even though I have a tree up, my decor seems lacking. I mean, it's a big dang tree that takes up a sizable fraction of my living room/den/home theater. But I need something else -- like a wicker basket with a bow on it. Too nancy? That said, maybe I need to balance the existing decor out with a gun rack in the corner or hang up a Playboy calendar. Yeah, THAT wouldn't look out of place at all ...
As we're less than two weeks away from Christmas, I reckon I'll leave well enough alone, at least this year. After all, with my luck, I'll think of something creative to do with them for Christmas 2012 then BAM, Emeril, those dang Mayans will be right about the end of the world and everything will -- if only figuratively -- go to hell in a hand basket. A wicker one, specifically.
Peace, love and spray-painted pine cones ... XOXO
