Set-ups, day 2: You Better Watch Out

• Set phone for louder alarm tone so as not to oversleep (AGAIN) tomorrow
• Conduct quickie staff meeting before heading off for set-up one of two for the day
• Set up and decorate 8' tree
• Hang another dozen or so kugels at varying lengths from curtain rods
• Organize army of Santas and assign to regiments throughout the house
• Break for favorite lunch of Yardley Tomato Pie
• Hurry to second set-up site--running later than planned; rejoice in forgotten treasure found in Denise's purse
• Remove tags from four bags of newly-purchased ornaments for tree-makeover; decorate tree
• Apply hand lotion to scratched skin after primping poky tinsel mantle garland
• Home for quick gourmet dinner of black bean burrito and Coke Zero; promise to return to store and stay only until 9:30 p.m. to revamp front window
• Yeah, right
• Express horror upon seeing state of store after the day's surprise furniture delivery
• Express delight at tidy state of stock room
  
• Stop to admire new merchandise--unpacked, priced, and merchandised in our absence
• Direct procrastinated photo shoot for gift guide magazine insert; bribe Sneelock to stay a little longer to assist in furniture placement
• Sigh as, at 10:30 p.m., window revamp has yet to begin
