Nothing To Do But Start What I Haven't Finished


What am I doing? Six days until Christmas and I am spending time in kitchen making Chicken Parmigiana from scratch, squeezing tomatoes into a pot and making a big mess, and baking Mississippi Mud Cake for the fifth time, when I should be writing my Spectacular Christmas Story and running and SHOPPING! A week ago I started writing my Christmas story and was pleased with my beginning, but a middle and an end, I can't seem to come up with..... Oh, and I have not written any Christmas cards either, something I usually pride myself on finishing by the first week of December. At this point, I will be lucky to have New Year's Cards and if I don't do those, then I may as well consider myself off many people's Christmas card list next year. What am I doing, I ask you? As a good friend put it yesterday, "My friend, you are procrastinating! Anyone that would spend their morning blanching tomatoes and squeezing them into a pot is avoiding starting something else!" Or in my case, finishing my Christmas story and finishing my Christmas shopping! HELP!
