A Broken Tale....

I have a bone to pick with the bloody lot of you

you have broken me

I was one of those people who gloriously sails through until late November

and then hits the panic button when I realise

 that Christmas is just around the corner

I hyperventilate for a time, make a cuppa/ pour a glass of wine

make a list of relatives and sundries to buy for

hyperventilate again

have a lie down and meditate about George Clooney to try to calm myself

and then madly shop in a frenzy for a few days before school is out

I usually have a brief time feeling smug that I have nailed it

despite knowing there is usually at least one present that is a head shaker

you know the whole what was I thinking horror

but I figure as long as the same person doesn't get head shakers every year

then I am ahead of the game

I know some of you will be slightly alarmed at this approach

 but I like to think it is part of my charm

So here's the thing

the big I can't believe you have made me do this

I have found myself sketching up Christmas cards

seriously

it is freaking September people

Spring break starts today but I am thinking Christmas

I don't know myself anymore

I could blame the unseasonably warm days

even for us here is Queensland it is Summer like

but deep down I know it is because I would like to send some cards

to blogging buddies and assorted lovelies 

and I will have to send them in enough time to allow for air mail and all that

which does make my brain bleed out my ears just a little bit

so rather than my usual haphazard approach that has served me so well

 I am thinking cards

I haven't sent a one in years 

but I find myself planning and plotting, sketching and considering

it is freaking the bejesus out of me

you have all ruined me with your support and friendship

if you weren't so wonderful then I could be sitting back now

considering my belly button and eating truffles

while watching the dust bunnies play on the lounge room floor

so I am warning you now

your card will have a design like this on it

not too Christmasy you may think

but as revenge for breaking me 

I have every intention of rubbing in the fact that it is gloriously warm

and that we are lying around the pool drinking mango and mint drinks

while you are all shivering and cursing the cold

but that is what you get for being too nice

so suck it up buttercup!!!!

linking up with Paint Party Friday... 

which is full of supportive and wonderful people

but be warned they change you in alarming ways ... xx

Something else that is alarming

is the  oh so punny title of the last post...

Beet That ...

and the slightly freaky

Meet The Greens ....
