absolutely amazing out there -- fifty-seven degrees, breezy, huge puffy white clouds, air all washed clean by the storm. definitely feels like california december. if i had the spirit of it inside me, this would be perfect.
i don't.
it's like guilt, but whinier. it's like, i want so badly to be like some of the lovely people i know who select wonderful gifts and package them up and ... see, i fantasize about that. literally. i sit and daydream about going wishlist-hopping and doing that sly but effective 'give me your address i'm sending out christmas cards' ruse and subsequently making packages appear on other people's doorsteps, as they have been on mine. i mean, i'm not even sending out christmas cards! i suck.
i'm sorry, i'm having what might be considered an extended monday. i actually thought it was wednesday, then found out no, tuesday and thought, crap it's been a long week already.
i'm sorry.
...and you oh, so much don't suck.
Trust me on this one...
(Umm, Monday, the extended version here also. ...mollified by the pretty, pretty clouds between the storms.)
You've given us all a gift... YOU... Thanks, for being you. No matter what, You're the only one who can give us YOU ^_^
i haven't mailed a christmas card out in over 7 years. it's the thought that counts, right?
Wouldn't it be nice to have the necessary means to be able to show love and appreciation with material gifts galore? It is the thought that counts but not being able to get that thought off the ground leaves a hollow feeling. I've thought of putting up a list of what I would've gotten all of my friends had I the time and the money. Sounds kinda tacky though, don't ya think? Of course if you did it with me, it would be more cool than tacky ; ) Maybe I'll drop back here later with a link of what you'd have received from me had I the resources.
Speaking of love and such, "Hi, Lisa!"
Hugs to you and Todd and the kidlets!
I feel ya girl... I'm in the same boat. or evil long-week timeloop thingy.
I actually thought It was Wedensday all day too! Must be something in the air. Can the holidays be over now please? Oh and you don't suck! Your a fabulous person!!
kdblog is definitely a No-Suck Zone, you lovely woman! :)
What Skits said!
Now go outside and take photos of that weather!
And I never manage to get Xmas cards out. We need a reason to send cards in late January or early Feb - those are really dead months. And Valentines do not count.
You're all using the verb "to suck" as if it were some kind of bad thing... in fact, sucking can make a very fine Giftmas present all by itself! Don't forget the festive latex wrapping, and "dreaming of a white Christmas" can take on a whole new meaning.
As can "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."
the InternetGoddess is incapable of suckage.
sorry, Hanne, i can't think of a better term, because you're right, of course ;-)
oh, c'mon now guys, i'm not all that. and even if i were, i'd be better if i at least mailed out cards and stuff. but no. i flake.
I think someone needs a screening ofSearch">http://us.imdb.com/Details?0114371">Search and Destroy (the one with Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, John Tuturro, and Griffin Dunne. Not that other one), and maybe some Trigger Happy, too. Every time someone says "never apologize," you do a shot. Of something holiday-cheery, like amaretto. Mmm... Shit. I think I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Someone wrap Hanne up for Christmas!
Wonderful comment, simply wonderful...
yay yay yay.
i've got ping! thank you KD!!!
Now 24 is about to start, but I'll play later!
awww now don't be all down on yourself. You don't suck. Cards and postage take up a pretty penny (I sent out cards)
you can always send out e-cards if the guilt overwhelms you. :)
You do so much by just being you, kd.
You don't suck.
yeah, i do stuff, but ... there's this other stuff i want to do, and want to do quite badly. there's nothing quite like the feeling of sending off a lovely prezzie and knowing it's going to make the recipeint happy. and i'm whiny because i am missing out on that.
If you really wanted, you could give me the gift of "ping".
That would make me extremely happy.
