Friday, December 12th, 2003 [edit]
We’ve got a few things to do in the next few weeks. The list has overflowed one sheet of paper and is onto the second sheet. The second sheet has overflowed to a third sheet. The sheets are stacking upon themselves so fast that a heavy breeze could topple the entire pile, killing us in our sleep.
When’s Christmas, after all? The list, probably not a final version, is as follows:
- Write, address, and mail Christmas cards.
- Figure out when we will get together with Mary and Pat.
- Buy last few gifts (Dad and Julie, Dennis and Nicole, Jerry: don’t be disappointed if we get you something from a gas station this year. We’re running out of ideas.).
- Finish making gifts. Last night’s attempt went well, but we need more supplies.
- Continue work on website contract work.
- Take Jessica’s car in for service.
- Wrap Jessica’s presents.
- Figure out what to do with cat while we are out of town.
- Polyphonic Spree Christmas concert?
- Clean house. Clean rest of house.
- Get together with friends and family before going out of town.
- Pack. Load car.
- Figure out when we’re staying with who at the farm. Have decided to wing it. Same with New Year’s.
- Remind Jessica that it will be cold at the farm.
Whew. I neep a nap after just writing that. You’ll notice that none of these things have to do with the wedding. That’s a whole seperate list.

I should note, for the record, that Jessica has already wrapped all of the other presents. The remaining wrapping work is solely mine.
Jessica has also purchased warm pajamas for the farm. That is admirable. However, she will still be cold.
I’m sure the cold at the Farm is nothing a great heating blanket won’t take care of. hehehe
You guys are taking a much too planned and frenetic approach to this holidy. You should really take the Ben-zen approach. I haven’t done shit. I am just waiting to and feeling the stress mount. When the “mental break” happens. I’ll claim X-mas psychosis. Then, I’ll have the pity. I figure this will turn the tables on them.
Ben, just who is this ‘them’? I think “Ben-zen” is just another (nicer) way of saying “Paranoid Holiday Delusions”.
There is no other way to approach the season. There has to be a plan and then an attack. We have done both nicely and with out killing each other, all the while still spreading the holiday cheer.
I haven’t spread any cheer. And I don’t intend to.
I think plans are overrated. I will just nicely, maybe.
