procrastination is the game

and i'm winning. A lot of stress flew off my shoulders when I just looked around the house and said 'fuck it.' It's not going to look like Martha Stewart lives here in just a few days time. I really wanted more time to clean but even with the time I have I tend to piss most of it away (all the more reason to get high speed. Answering 25 emails took 2 hours, yes that's about 5 minutes per email) so i get caught up in that and never get crap done.

I did find another box of winter clothes. Oh so THERE's my sweaters. I was wondering. I did find a book on 'settings.' not quite description but close enough. Got the 10$ grab bag gift for the family exchange. (I thought it was cute, two soup cups and a box of soup), i did find out that Guhl's crafting outlet no longer sells yarn. OOOPS. SOrry Rain (at this point you're one step away from a Joann Fabrics or Micheal's gift card) got my 'hold mail' card (I usually forget that one), talked to a neighbor about feeding Roy who finally came back for the first time in days. Even in the cold he no longer wants inside. oh well.

Took the clothes to goodwill. Go me. Even got my meds today since CVS is done fucking up my order.

Got a picture card from friends in medical school. I had jsut called them a couple weeks ago with no reply. I had realized to my chagrin it had been a YEAR since I talked to them and didn't even know if her newborn was a boy or a girl. I feel so bad. (granted they didn't contact me with the birth news last dec. either)

i did finally move about 100 files OFF my flashdrive. Now to move the stories I need onto it (last thing I need is to get home and realize I forgot Placid or fire and ice or gift exchange and found a season Dresden Files I had started this time last year and never finished)

going to wrap some more gifts, watch some tv and watch my living room collapse under it's own weight. At least I found the stupid memory card for my camera. It was right where i thought it was so why didn't I see it the last ten times I looked?

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In November I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). In September on a flight to Bangladesh, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). Last Friday bob_fish and I robbed a bank (-50 points). In March I stole tehlobster's purse (-30 points). Last Tuesday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole silvrethorn's purse (30 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-71 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking! Sincerely, cornerofmadness

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

whoo hoo, do I get to pick who does the spanking since I have a list?

also forgot to mention the dream i had last night. Roy, Garfiel, Maes and Armstrong were all dancing and singing to Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" and can you say La Cage aux Folles costuming? I bet you can

grrr

mom calls tonight

Mom- when are you leaving tomorrow

Me- my usual (i.e. late) time

Mom - supposed to snow in the evening... a lot. You leave early

me - cuss cuss cuss

Mom - I'll call you to make sure you get up early (i.e. like b efore the sun comes up)

Me - no, i'll be fine. I'll go pack the car tonight so it won't take so long tomorrow (and i did)


Mom - do you want me to wrap the gifts for your brother (i.e. like usual mom overbuys gifts and I just pay her for the surplus).

Me - i can wrap them you don't have to

Mom - you wrap like you're brain damaged (true)

Me - fine, you wrap them

Mom - But then they'll know you didn't because they'll look perfect (they will, too)

Me- fine, i'll do it when i get there.

Mom - are you sure

Me - (sure as you're gonna die if you don't hush) Do what you want mom

Mom - put up the tree and the lights. It's waiting for you and I to put on the decorations

Me - Mom you know this always ends with me threatening to strangle you with the christmas lights and using your ass as a tree stand (this is also true, so much so I wrote it into Spike and Angel antics one year)

Mom - come on, it's fun. you can do whatever you want with the decorations

Me - you always say that but then you always yell i'm not doing it right

Mom - because you aren't. If you did it right in the first place, I wouldn't have to make you move the decoration.

Me - ....

so yeah, whee, snow. i don't mind driving in it. It's all highway but it's the other idiots i have to deal with (especially when I get to WV, those hills either make people super stupid coming down them or super terrified and they're going 25 mph in a 70 zone)
