In some ways, I don't think of myself as a lazy person. I mean, this has been a big year for me being in action, DOING things. I finished law school; studied for and took and passed the bar exam; bought a house; and birthed a baby. All this while juggling roles as wife, daughter, friend, and decent human being. So, yeah, I do a lot.
Yet, I will let a bag of garbage sit by the back door for 4 days because I am too lazy to take it outside. I will leave socks on the floor because I can't be bothered to pick them up. In high school, Sarah tied a fake wreath on to the front of my car one Christmas. It was a brilliant surprise. But not surprisingly, I never took it off. Christmas came and went. The wreath stayed. I sold that car a year and half later and finally took the wreath off.
This year, it's Christmas ornaments. I would rather watch more crappy reality TV than actually put ornaments on the Christmas tree I bought. So, now 3 weeks after having purchased said tree, putting it up, and stringing it with lights, it still has no ornaments. And it's 6 days before Christmas. Eduardo has now gone to the DR, so it's just Johan and me at the house. Johan likes the lights but doesn't know Christmas from a hole in the ground and so I figure, what's the use of putting ornaments on the tree now? I know if I actually did it, I would end up leaving them on and the tree standing until mid- to late January. Why? I don't know. That's just sloth, my style. Or maybe, a year and half from now, when Johan is talking, he'll ask me why we're the only family that keeps a tree decorated with lights and ornaments in the house 365 days a year.
