Want to laugh? It is December 22 and I have YET to buy A SINGLE CHRISTMAS gift. I hope none of you passed out. That really wouldn’t be conducive to you reading the rest of my post.

I generally do shopping a week before Christmas, but not this year. It’s not that I don’t care about Christmas or that I don’t like shopping. I really have not had motivation to be out in the traffic and shopping at the newly built mall that is jam packed everyday because we all used to have to drive half hour to forty minutes for a decent mall to shop in. Thank God for progress and developers.

ANYway, I can sum myself up in one word. Procrastinator.

My friends would have much nicer words to describe me. No really, I asked. I have vastly improved though. I used to be the one that you would tell to be somewhere at 4 and I’d be there at 5. At some point people started telling me to be at a place an hour before I was supposed to be there just so I would be on time. <—– That was BEFORE children. Post birth, I started to be the one on time. Right on time actually. To the minute. Somewhere I realized that I was showing a lack of respect for other people’s time. Like they had nothing better to do with that hour than to sit around and wait for me. This goes back to my procrastination. I would wait until I had to be somewhere and start getting ready about 5 minutes before I had to leave knowing I needed a lot more time than that.

Years ago when I was in school, I would have a report that I knew about weeks ahead of time. Yet, the night before it was due I would be up all night writing the report.

My kids send home notices of events or money that might be due for something and I will wait until the night before if not the exact day it is due to do something about it.

Yep. That’s me.

While I want to play it cool and act like I’m not worried, I’m having trouble breathing just thinking about the lines, the traffic, and hell, the other stressed out procrastinators.

One thing is for sure about me. I am an evolutionary woman. I change when needed. I am convinced that I am and will forever be a work in progress. One of my favorite quotes is “Life is not about finding yourself. It is about creating yourself.” I’m still working on my sculpture.

I am guessing this might be a foreshadowing of some sort of an upcoming discussion about New Year’s resolutions.
