Done, Done, and Done

Have you ever run into one of those people that asks if you're done Christmas shopping, and it's late August? So when you give the obvious answer of, "No, I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet," they get to say, "Oh, too bad. I finished weeks ago." It's 95 degrees outside and this person is preening because they're done. La-di-da, I say. While they were Christmas shopping, I was floating in the pool with a nice yummy cocktail getting a pretty tan.

It may not seem like much of an accomplishment to most people, but it's December 22nd, and I'm done Christmas shopping. I am perennially one of those people that is running around like a crazed person on the 24th still looking for the perfect gift for someone. Not only am I done shopping, I'm done wrapping. Not only am I done wrapping, I'm done stressing out.

So, right now, I'm sitting at my desk when I should be working, but there seems to be a small pre-holiday lull, so I thought I'd brag about my accomplishment of done, done, and done. If you're thinking I sound a little smug, you're probably right. Let's just hope I didn't forget anyone this year.

Merry Christmas to all!
