Seasonal Amnesia
It's the Christmas season, and that generally means that I get even more forgetful than usual. This is scary because I'm usually in a quasi-zombie state to begin with, so this time of year turns me into a shambling, drooling creature who can't remember a) where the pants are, and b) where the walls are.
Here are a few of the things that are on my mind these days:
Here are a few of the things that are on my mind these days:
- why do I have a Pizza Hut receipt from Wichita, Kansas? I have never, to my knowledge, been to Wichita.
- I've lost the key to my back door. AGAIN. The last time it happened, I had to climb through a window (AGAIN) to get in the house, so I did something I thought was fiendishly clever. I left that window unlocked, and I put a key on the windowsill. Unfortunately, I realized today that the key I'd placed there was in fact for the front door, which does me no good, seeing as how it's also secured by a chain. This was a triple blow, in that a) it was the wrong key, b) I realized that I have no backup key, and c) I am a huge dumbass.
- It doesn't matter that there are 6 hotdogs and 8 buns if you decide that you're sick of hotdogs.
- Why is frosting so good?
- Should I mail Christmas cards? I have some. I was planning on sending them out. Then The Girl made an observation that chilled my blood. She pointed out that sending Christmas cards puts you on other people's Christmas card lists. This means that I will be forced to send Christmas cards EVERY YEAR UNTIL THE DAY I DIE, or risk looking like a big jerk. So I am still undecided.
- Should I decorate the dog?

The door thing happens to the best of us, even, yes even, San Nakji...
If you get sick of hotdogs, at least you have buns.
Don't send cards. It a) encourages people b) causes global warming (well that's my excuse anyway)
Decorating the dog may help her be almost as cute as San Nakji's pooch, but I doubt it...
I like your thinking. I've been fretting over whether to make homemade cards or go buy them. But instead I think I'll just snub my nose at the whole silly tradition.
Of course, since you say you already have a stash of cards, I suggest you wait until July, then start sending them out randomly to people. After all, there's nothing like getting a good head start on the holidays.
LOL!!! Okay, the door thing...I've done that too. Nothing worse than trying to climb through the doggie door to get inside and get stuck halfway. heheh
As for the Christmas cards...well, how do you feel about the people you were gonna send them to? If ya really really like em...send em. If not...I'm with Space...send them in July.
And decorating the dog can be quite fun!! Enjoy!
Merry Christmas to you!
