I always feel like I've fucked up somehow, that I don't deserve the presents that I got, and that I haven't spent enough on anyone else.<BR/><BR/>I still haven't purchased anything for my mom - every year she tells me not to bother to get her anything, save my money for myself. Last year both she and my dad gave me extreme heaps of shit for sending packages to them via express post (to get there on time for xmas) because of course they can see how much the postage cost on the package itself (thank you, Canada Post for your inability to be discreet). So I was chastised for spending too much money to get their shit there on time, and this year I meant to send it all really early, but, well, fuck it. I don't like getting yelled at for wanting to do the right thing.<BR/><BR/>A friend called me from her parents' place in edmonton on xmas day - I thought it was sweet of her to call but it turned out she forgot to get anyone to pick up her mail while she's visiting her family and she lives 2 blocks away from me, so..... yeah. merry stinking christmas. I'm glad it's done.french panichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387613398913818918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241917.post-51132362302198577502007-12-27T02:05:00.000-06:002007-12-27T02:05:00.000-06:00I deep heartedly sympathise with you, as I recogni...I deep heartedly sympathise with you, as I recognise so much of what you said, as a lot of it applies to me for much of the year!<BR/>But not many people know.<BR/><BR/>Take care<BR/>Blue<BR/>xHeadgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03766146083038873549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241917.post-77070661045686497962007-12-26T19:31:00.000-06:002007-12-26T19:31:00.000-06:00I feel your pain...hang in there kiddo the "stupid...I feel your pain...hang in there kiddo the "stupid" season is also most over!
