Failure to Live Up to Potential.....Again

So, I neglected my blogular duties by not writing part two of my day of sucktitude.  Oh well.  Sometimes I don't follow through on things.  I try not to beat myself up over it, considering as it is human to fail.  But, I do feel bad.  And now, I just can't muster up the passion to finish my tale of woe...so I'll have to move on to more Christmasy things!

Christmas is four days away, people!  Four.  Days.  Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I feel like I'm six years old again. Except that when I was six I didn't have to stress out about what to get people.  This year I am epically underprepared.  I have a total of maybe four completed gifts for people and another six to eight gifts in various states of incompleteness.  I do not have enough time to finish everything, but I've decided to enjoy the holiday season anyway.  If people get a half finished scarf, or a single candle, so be it.  That's not what Christmas is about, after all.  Folks can consider it my heartfelt reminder that joy comes from family, not new i-pods and UGGs.  Ok...some amount of joy comes from those things, but that's not the point!

On a side note, I just had to yell at a room full of middle schoolers in the library who were being loud, disruptive, and offensive.  All five foot one of me marched right in there and bellowed in my ever-intimidating chipmunk voice, "Ok.  All of you, out!  Right now.  I've had five complaints about you, so I need you to collect your things and get out.  Right this instant!"  Surprisingly enough, they obeyed.  I did hear a few, "Bitch", "That Lady just yelled at a bunch of kids", and "Stupid cunt" expressions muttered under some breaths, but other than that it went pretty smoothly.  I'm kind of proud of myself now.
