It Just Wouldn't Be Christmas.........




.......If I wasn't sitting at my kitchen table checking and rechecking the tracking status of the packages that I need by Friday (Saturday actually, but that would really mess me up).  Okay, so each and every year I order online approximately one week before Christmas.  It's a bitch, and a bad habbit.  Had I started back around cyber Monday I would only have wrapping to slack on but that would have been way too easy.  You would think that I like to live on the edge, that I enjoy the fact that I have to know when the last store is open on Christmas Eve in case one of my orders doesn't arrive on time.


.......If I had any sort of wrapping materials.

.......If I had teacher and bus driver gifts this year.  Three more days of school this week, plenty of time.  So much time in fact that I will most likely wait until Thursday to go out for them.  That will be a fun day, because I also don't like cheap last minute crap gifts.  I won't settle for the last thing on the shelf, again, that would be too easy.  Instead I will race around all day trying to find the perfect (most likely overpriced) gift around.  Damn it I should have ordered it on line with the others.
                                                                                                                                
......If my stockings were hung by the chimney with care, instead of on the floor where they fell two days ago and no one has put back up.

.......If I didn't down right refuse to order a few of the items on-line because the price was an overprice of the overprice.  I always spend more than I should (good thing I'm rich - NOT) on items so that I don't have to shop for them but I will not spend double the amount of an item.  That is just sickening.  So, now that I overpaid, but refused to over, overpay I still have at least five more gifts too buy, at the store, with the crowds, where I could have found the other stuff cheaper in the first place.  Did I say five more gifts?  Shit, that's just the kids, it should have read twelve more gifts.  Good thing there are still three more shopping days (five really, but if I know that I'll wait it out).


I would like to say that next year I'll be more on the ball,
 but I don't usually say that until I have totally lost it and it's way too soon for that.
