Lurch

No, that's not my tree. That's last year's tree. The one that kept falling over...
As much as I said I was ready for the holidays a few weeks ago... I find myself lurching along in a very unbecoming manor.
While things are not exactly gloom and doom at the Asthmagirl Abode, neither are they as merry and ho-ho as they should be right about now.
I have a closet half full of presents that I seem to lack the energy to wrap. Let's not talk about finishing the shopping. I even find myself saying "there's always tomorrow to put up the tree."
It's not like me to be so blah.
Instead of waiting for things to come naturally, I think I'm going to have to push myself to get anything done. And do my darndest to create some joy at the same time. Who wants a joy-less holiday?
So last night, I hauled my enormous behind out of the chair at 9:30 and went in the kitchen to make cookies with K3. And you know what? It was kind of fun. So I cleaned the kitchen afterwards. Maybe tonight I'll cook dinner. Whatever it takes to throw off the funk.
Sorry I've been absent... just didn't want to throw anything ugly out there.
And if you didn't wish Tammy a happy birthday yesterday, there's always today!
Warm and fuzzy hugs to all my Bloggy Friends!
Optimistically,
AG
PS~ Thanks for the nudge, Meg!
Merry and Ho Ho in Holidays

Its been a bad few months ... but pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again .. a new year is waiting .. and its Ben's first Christmas .. I cant wait to see pix .. xoxox
I am in your boat, too. Only I haven't bought a single present yet. GAH
I think there's a general sense of blah that has struck the entire country. From east coast (me) to west coast (you). This Xmas will be fun with your adored Ben, but just wait till next Christmas! Then he'll be old enough to cause all sorts of mischief!
Here's to unfunky feelings!
I've had a case of blahs too this season. *sigh*
You are in a funk. I'm snapping my fingers right now (do you hear them) for you to me removed from so called funk and thrust into joy....come on, you can do it.
I don't know exactly why, but I have been feeling the same way. Our tree is not up either. *sigh* How about we hold hands and walk through it together?
I know that funk. I was unable to shake it last year. Fortunately, THIS year is a different story! Hope you'll have the holiday in your step soon:) Call me if you need an irritating pep talk on how wonderful Christmas is going to be this year!!!!!
Tis the season for the funk and the blahs, but as Daryl said it's Ben's first Christmas so there is something new to celebrate and take pictures of and send to your blog buddies because they are in love with him. And you, too. Try to keep plowing ahead, that's all we can do. I say this because I'm in a complete and utter state of denial that Christmas is coming.
