Finding Joy in Snarkville

For reasons I can not explain, I’m swamped with things to do.  Ok, I can explain some of them — look at the calendar folks, you see that little date coming up, December 25th?  Well, it seems I have things to do to get ready for that date.  I’m serious this is getting insane.  Oh, I’m pretty much DONE shopping for it, but it is the SHIPPING that is killing me.

Sidenote: anyone other than me notice that the only letter different between shopping and shipping is the “I” — which I do believe may be my entire problem.  Look over there, something shinny.

So, in some insanity I call my brain, I have decided to handle this crunch of shipping and such by doing what comes completely naturally to me — Knitting.  Oh yes, while normal, sane people would be wrapping gifts and putting them in little packages and prepping them to go out to the mailman — no, I’m sitting in my chair with my coffee and my knitting in complete denial (it isn’t just a river in Egypt, people).  Hence the calendar doesn’t seem to be moving the dates around and I sit here, blogging, knitting, drinking coffee, and trying to pretend that I’m not actively engaging in the things, while the most fun, that aren’t getting me anywhere closer to getting the actual boxes of gifts OUT of my house.

I wonder what other seriously useless things I can do today in order to truly avoid those things that MUST be done???
