Stealing a great idea from Hack Bend, I'm going to initiate a countdown to Christmas. Why? 'Cause I'm always looking for easy blog content, silly!
So, since I missed the 12 days of Christmas start date, I'm going to do the 10 days til Christmas, starting with:
10. Mail Anxiety
I've got to get packages in the mail immediately or pay the convenience cost of three-day shipping or less. Since each family member lives in a different state, it's a process every year, including finding small boxes and then bigger boxes, scissors and tape; wrapping, labeling and sealing; getting to the mailing store and getting the damned things out. Weirdly exhausting. I normally wait til the last minute to try to include all the presents in one box, which include our family's tradition of buying a huge sockful of stocking gifts for each person. In the end, I usually turn to amazon.com to fill in the gaps, at its (very-convenient) pricey convenience charge.
So, enough of this blog-crastination. Time for Mr. Zip and me to get busy.
