It's Christmas Eve!!!!!! And I haven't wrapped a single present. Ok, I did wrap some things that had to be mailed...very poor wrapping job. But I am currently sitting in a room FULL of stuff that needs a home in a box or a bag. Why do I procrastinate like this every single year? I wish I knew.....because this situation is ridiculous and stressful. One of my best friends, Kristy, bought me a huge box of wrapping supplies.....all sizes of bags, 3 colors of tissue paper, 3 colors of ribbon & wrapping paper...all coordinating. And it's beautiful. Yet here I sit....looking at the box of supplies AND the objects that need to be wrapped. My "wife", Brandie, even offered to come wrap my presents yesterday....and I told her I would do it. Yet here I sit.....stressing out. And even though she told me that if today rolled around and I still hadn't wrapped not to call her, I know that if I call her right now crying she will show up and wrap my presents. I know because that's what I did to her last year on Christmas Eve. And...ummmm...I think I also said "bring me food when you come". And she did. Because she loves me to the moon and back.....though she has every right to want to kill me. But that's a story for another day. I tried putting on Christmas music (which I love) to get me in the mood to deal with my current situation.....but that playlist somehow turned into Ingrid Michaelson, Adele, Faith Hill, and Eminem.....I know, I know...what a combination. So here I sit....blogging. About nothing. Just to avoid the inevitable. And I'm wondering if my gift recipients will notice that my "kids" have eaten some of the boxes that hold their presents and all of the lovely teethmarks in things. Actually, it seems they only attacked and ate my sister's gifts......
Ok.....I must wrap. Somehow I must find the motivation. This will result in blood, sweat, tears, paper cuts, and maybe some four-letter words. Why, Christmas? Why do you show up every year and demand that I wrap a few thousand dollars worth of merchandise?
I am going to leave you with pictures I attempted to take of my kids in front of the tree. Notice the use of the word "try"....
Oscar.....posing. My handsome little man :)
Lily....aka, BAD. Bad enough that when she walked through the door at the vet's office yesterday, they said "Ohhhhh, it's Lily".....and not with a smile in their voice. My apologies to the Trigg County Vet Clinic.......well, for everything.
A blurry Hank....apparently he has better things to do than pose for a picture. Like stealing my food off the counter.
And this picture of Oscar....just because it is what I happen to be looking at now as I sit here procrastinating. I think he is tired for me, just knowing I have all this wrapping to do.
Happy Christmas Eve :)
