Christmas Eve and I'm still not ready.

Every year I say I'm going to start early and every Christmas Eve, I'm still not ready. I'm going out today but only because everything will be closed tomorrow. Then I have to wrap presents before I go to visit my friends tonight.

Such is the life of a chronic procrastinator.

I buy gifts for Christmas throughout the year and then I forget where I put them. My best friend's birthday was two weeks ago; I bought her present in February (!) and I couldn't find it so I decided to give it to her for Christmas. I still haven't found it. Truth be told, I put off looking for it again until today. I had to run out and buy her something else for her birthday.

Such is the life of the chronically disorganized.

Should I make New Year's resolutions to stop procrastinating and get organized? Been there, done that, never worked before.

Happy holidays, everyone! I'm off to Costco!
