So I often consider myself to be ridiculous, no seriously! I have this terrible tendency to overbook and I do not even know how I do it. The greatest problem with it is there are so many other things I would rather be doing. A social life? Who needs a social? Apparently, I think I do... but not all the time. I think that I might have a split personality or something. There is Me, the social butterfly, who hates to stay home on the weekend (or any other day of the week if we are going to be honest). And the then other would be Me, the book worm. Always wanting to be reading or writing and everything (or everyone) else should just leave me alone. The problem is sometimes the two sides collide or makes things difficult for the other one. For example, say I planned to go to a party about a month ago and was really excited about it, but when the day actually arrives all I want to do in snuggle into my bed away from the cold with a good book. Ahhh...why does my introverted side come out at this time of year? I swear that Christmas is the most social time in my life and for some reason I want to be the biggest home body ever! If I recall this is also the generally when I start saying stuff like, "when I grow up I am going to be a hermit and live in a mountain." Now, obviously I do not actually want to hide from society but the that social butterfly would never let me do such a thing anyway.
A new way to think about. There a people who say that there is an angel and a devil on each pair of shoulders, I do not think that is quite right. For me there is a worm on one and a butterfly on the other, at least in regards to my shoulders. Maybe you have an angel and a devil on yours but I believe my conscience resides somewhere in my chest, around the heart area. Alas, I have a worm and butterfly whispering different suggestions into my ears. Oft times I find that one ear is deaf and then I do not balance myself out! I think I heard somewhere that the ears effect a person's balance. Maybe that explains why I am so clumsy.
December how I love and hate you all at the same time! There is so much to do and never enough time to do it. I feel like every other day I have a Christmas party and I somehow have to fit my Christmas shopping into my schedule as well. Yikes! I have barely started. How I despise shopping as well. I hope that I will wake up one day and say, "oh my, I have the strange inclination to go Christmas shopping today!" Unfortunately, I need to go tomorrow whether I want to or not.
Random thought: I really want to go skating. I think I need to get some mittens again... seriously, I just bought new ones and already I have lost them. Why have I made a bunch kittens my role models? I should really know better because I believe it never actually turned out well for them in the long run either. Maybe one day all of my fingers will freeze off and I will have no one to blame but that ridiculous guy in my head named Memory.
Now, that I have ranted for a while I think I will finish by saying that I absolutely love this time of year, even if I occasionally get stressed out because of it!
