What Didn't Go Wrong When Wrapping Presents

You now have a blog. Therefore you can use it to blow off steam over all the frustrations from what went wrong.

People reading your blog will have read the other posting first so that the rest of this makes sense.

Since all the cutting took place on top of the bed, it's a miracle that you didn't cut through the bedding in the process. Again.

Nothing actually broke.

The bubble wrap that wound up too close to the electric heater and got melted and stuck together, now actually fits around a different present than one you had in mind. But it's still usable.

You didn't run out of wrapping paper. (Darn!)

There were enough packing materials.

Your children have long since gotten too old to believe in and demand extra presents from Santa.

There's still time to mail out that last package - Priority Mail!

You found the source of that unpleasant odor and eliminated it. Enough said.

You didn't have to spend time getting the ink out of all the keys on your key rings and the rings, off your purse, and off a new set of spots on the counter, wasting all that time before wrapping. This of course is due to your not discovering the full extent of the mess until Monday.

No fingernails were broken in the process. They had already been clipped as short as possible to remove all the blue/black ink stains. OK, most of the blue/black ink stains.

After all the presents were located, wrapped and removed from the room, there's still plenty of disorganization and clutter instead of the giant cleared spaces that might actually leave you slightly uncomfortable.

And at the end of the day, you discover there really is - pause for dramatic effect - an end of the day!
