I am so far behind I can't even see it from here

Things to which I cannot say "check" and move on:
  • Presents purchased for Daddy and Nana
  • Presents mailed
  • Dress for NYE sewn
  • House on Perry put in some sort of order for move-out

    And those are just the musts as opposed to the would like tos:
  • Holiday cards sent
  • Presents for [livejournal.com profile] kijjohnson and [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick made
  • Treats for friends and co-workers baked
  • Sewing area organized
  • Exercise regimen started

    Things I have barely managed to do:
  • Not alienate non-LJ friends who are undoubtedly feeling ignored
  • Cook at least four meals a week

    Things I have managed to accomplish in spades:
  • Drink coffee
  • Stress about items in the first two lists

    I fear I might have to back out of a social event this weekend due to Too Much Busy. Suck.

    UPDATE: From [livejournal.com profile] starstraf comes this delightful inspiration. Can I just say dearvirginmarymotherofgod.

    We have not mailed out cards, nor have we bought presents for anybody. My house is a complete mess because when I'm home, I'm sleeping. Exercise? Again, sleeping. I've been living on delivery/eating out, but I don't think anybody would mind if I don't cook.

    You're pregnant. I think you're off the hook for this year. =)

    *whew*

    I'm going to take a nap then, instead of clean my house.

    Yeah. Yeah, I think you could pull that dress off.

    Needs must sit down. That's more moxie than my poor heart can bear.

    Heh. Heh heh.

    I don't want to start a list of what I haven't done yet. No, I will focus on what is getting itself done now.

    I think most of the added stress that people feel around the holidays is caused by long "to do" lists. The new yule tiding should be "Happy Holidays, now chill out and smoke a bowl"
