Symptoms of TFD can be difficult to recognize and are often confused with TFL - Totally Freakin Lazy. The difference between the two, according to the "doctor" is that TFD sufferers actually want to overcome their ailment but almost always lose the recommended self-help book, while TFL sufferers just don't give a shit. Symptoms of TFD include but are not limited to the constant need to be looking for car keys and/or cell phone; moderate to severe piles of laundry and the perpetual urge to eat KD and hot dogs for dinner (sufferers almost always forget to plan a healthy dinner). Needless to say, the doctor said that I presented a textbook case of TFD.
This diagnosis came as no surprise, I know I'm disorganized. I'm constantly running around like a chicken with its head cut off and this time of year really brings out the worst in my "disorder". Back in July I promised myself that this Christmas would be different. I would be one of the first to send out cards, I'd have my baking done by mid-December (yes, I bake. I make lemon squares that would make your grandma cry like a baby!) and all of the presents would be neatly wrapped (this of course, is assuming that the presents would be bought before December 1st).
Fast forward to today, with only 4 days left and what have I accomplished? Diddly squat. Nada. Nichts. Zip. Absolutely nothing! Well that isn't exactly true. I have bought one present, but I don't think it counts, cause it was for me and I bought it in August. And I did get the cards ready before Decemeber 1st. The only problem is that they've been sitting in a bag on my front hall bench every since. Apparently you have to put a fancy-dancy thing called a "stamp" on the envelope, and you actually have to put the letters in the "mailbox". Who knew!
Oh well, Christmas cards for 2012 are ready to go --- I'm so freaking organized!
So this Saturday, I highly suggest staying the "F" out of my way. Cause I'll be the one, with an extra large vanilla latte supreme (Have you had one of these? One word: OMG!) tailgating you, screaming into the phone, begging Santa to delay Christmas for just one more day.
P.S. If I don't make it out of Walmart alive or sane - I wish you and yours the happiest and safest holiday season possible. Drink a little too much, sleep in a little too late and thoroughly enjoy the time with family and friends. Love you all!
