Merry Death

Christmas Carpal Tunnel

Ho ho HOLY SHIT my hand hurts. I just finished 78 Christmas cards. I love you guys but MY GOD, give me a break. I made Phil sit down and do his TDCDesign ones with me. I offered to address his because his handwriting is that of a 90 year old man with the shakes. Not good. I still have my family and "live" friends to do. That's another 20 easy. This is the most I have ever done. I often buy cards and have a huge stack for years. I buy what I like and not what I need. Now, I will have none left. I must have spent $60 in stamps alone.

Now, I have tried to give give give this Christmas. In fact, I have given so much I am a little screwed out of my budget (as if there really is a budget in place). So what would any rational, normal person do? Spend $325 on 5th row Duran Duran tickets. That's what. I can't believe it. It was one of those damn eBay moments. I clicked on the auction, there was less than 2 minutes left. I checked the price, checked the time left and just bid. I closed my eyes and clicked refresh....still me. I thought "Oh Shit, what have I done?", Refreshed, still me. And then I won. At least the guy seems like a very nice man. He is helping defer the cost of shipping by using USPS instead of UPS. I will have them by Saturday. The show isn't until April 8th. Now I have to constantly worry about the house burning down. Great.

I have always loved these stupid 80s guys. I was never the girl in school who was obsessed, never had the John Taylor hair or fancied myself Simon's wife. I like Culture Club and Wham! much more. There is little hope for any of them to reunite. Poop. So I will live vicariously through the Durannies. I am excited though. If they play Planet Earth....I will scream like a 14 yr old pre-pubescent girl with braces and pigtails. Swear.
