Address Request, Take 2

[judecorp]

I've finally started writing my holiday cards, so you're running out of time to let me know if you want one! Please go HERE to my previous entry on the subject and leave a (screened) comment if you want one. Thanks!

First Received Card of the Year award goes (of course) to cranapril who always agonizes about being the first card received. You won again, my dear!

Kudos to smithee for yet another creative photo card, this year going to the next level and attempting to make himself a snowman with body paint. THAT'S devotion!

Kudos also to etherial for the incredibly sweet message on his holiday card this year. I know it's not true, but I will happily pretend it was written especially for Jen and me. xoxo

Someday I will get all these cards done and you will have sweet things in y'all's mailboxes, too!

The trick is to mail them the week after Thanksgiving. I'm such a goober.

You know, it's not really a 'me first' mentality that I have. I've been working on these darn cards for more than three months now, signing them, stamps, mailing labels, etc... and I just couldn't stand looking at the pile any more.

I'm the same person who if given a two week term paper, would go home and get it done that first night. Not because I thought it was going to be the best paper ever, mostly just to get the darn thing done so I didn't have to think about it anymore.

Just so you know.

I still want to know what my prize is, though ;)

I just don't know where you find the time, seriously. If I was given a two-week-away term paper, there's no way I could do it on the first night because there would be so much other stuff to do. I'm not a procrastinator, not a serious one anyway, but there's just so much going on that I can never do anything right away.

Working 50-60 hours/week probably contributes to that, I suppose.

Yeah, but you're cute.

I'm not requesting a card because I know you're busy, and I'm not sending any this year. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You don't have to send us one, we just really want to send one to you!

Well, it was *written* just for you.
*composed*, on the other hand...

Thanks for thinking of me, sincerely, but there's no way I would even be considered for a position like that.
