christmas time is here/i think i'm losing my mind

one of my coworkers was telling me that she gets so stressed out about the holidays that she rarely enjoys them. that is very sad to me. i looove christmas and i was thinking that i usually do not get stressed. but today i feel stressed. i was not very productive and yet i feel like i have a million things to do. i finally finished and mailed out 43 hand-made christmas cards. (why i decided that they needed to be handmade i'm really not sure). i sent out two christmas presents to friends far away, granted they proably won't reach them by christmas but at least they are sent. i've got almost all of my christmas shopping for my family done. i'm waiting for a few more things that i special ordered to come in. now i need to start wrapping everything. of course i've decided i should make my wrapping paper also, thus adding to my stress levels. heh. i made a big pan of peanut butter fudge and 5 dozen cranberry/white chocolate chip cookies on sunday. i need to make some more chocolate/mint chip chocolate cookies and start putting together plates to deliver to some friends around here. and with all of that stuff to do, of course today had to be the day that was highly ineffective in all regards. i spent the morning wandering mostly from one project to the next. i had the attention span of a goldfish. and then evil roommate #1 drove me downtown to find the stupid DMV so i could once and for all get my stupid PA drivers license (and get my mother to stop nagging me about how illegal i am with my NY license/PA residency). any way we drove downtown and failed to find the building! i swear to you it does not exist. so i called the DMV and it was a recording. but the helpful recording had another number to call. so i called that one and was put on hold for 5 minutes before i got a woman who told me that she was in harrisburg and had no earthly idea how to locate the building. she only had the street address. well thank you ms. dmv phone answerer, thankyou very much. i'm going home. SIGH. at least we had homemade pizza (which i also managed to screw up....i made a tiny little bit of dough by accident and so evil roommate #2 made some more). it was good pizza though. and so was that rum and coke i enjoyed afterwards.........
