Well, I haven’t started on my cards yet, but made most of the gifts this summer. Does this leave me swinging between rungs?
I’d love to read this book, it sounds like an great bathtub reading escape (luckily, our light stays on)!

If I’m “Annoyingly Organized,” how did I miss this debut?

My family is American and my husband’s family is British, so I used to have to have all the foreign presents bought, wrapped and shipped BEFORE Thanksgiving to be able to send them surface (affordable!) rather than air or specialty (extortionate!).

Then I figured out that I could order gifts from British companies from British people and American companies for American people, and have them all shipped direct. Yay! A little less personal (I hate notes typed on receipts, but whatareyagonnado?), but less crazy-making!

Ummm…maybe not as far as Happy January cards… We are sending out Happy New Year’s Cards for the second straight year. Last year’s later cards were due to craziness of the season. This year, it is due to a Christmas ski trip.

Well…I was knitting a scarf on Christmas Eve for Christmas morning. And I didn’t actually start it until Wednesday night…

Thanks for a hilarious post and I look forward to reading your book! Thanks for joining us on The Debs.

Ha! I find myself sliding between rungs, but mostly I’m stuck on the Good Friends rung. I wish to be more organized, but it never seems to actually happen!! Your book sounds terrific, and I’m putting it on my to-read-in-the-future list. (Thanks to Shelfari, I actually have such a list AND I know exactly where that list is.)

So funny, and so true. Thanks for stopping by the Ball, Tracy. I thoroughly enjoyed MURDER AT LONGBOURNE! And I can’t wait for the second installment.

I love this post! So funny! And I’m still wondering which category I fit in.

Thanks for the chance to win your book. It’s definitely on my “Must Read” list!!!

This completely cracked me up… and I totally agree! Just for the record, we haven’t finished our holiday cards. We’re celebrating a late Christmas with our in-laws tomorrow and have no gifts for them yet. Ah, well… it’s better than being “crazy” isn’t it? Thanks for the laugh!
