Always on the hunt for the best Kindle dealsAnd The Next Day
I keep saying that I am done decorating for Christmas, but that is not entirely true. The day after Thanksgiving I started the very easy task of wrapping velvet ribbon around a wreath hanging on the wall of my living room. It is probably a very short and easy task, but for some reason I just can’t bring myself to finish it. I have been looking at this hot mess for a few weeks now. For some reason I won’t either finish it or take the ribbon out completely. A five second task that I have put more energy thinking about it than it would take to fix it. It just hangs there with half of the ribbon wrapped around it and the rest of the spool shoved in the middle. It’s ridiculous! Just fix it! Maybe tomorrow.

I would like to think of myself less as lazy and more pro nature, but I know the truth. I have a few bulbs to plant. If I plant them and still don’t pick up the leaves, then I am pro nature. If I don’t plant them and don’t pick up the leaves I am lazy. The truth is out there.
