I still don’t know what I am going to buy for my wife! I am running out of time!
But, then again, I am a man. Men are supposed to wait until the last minute.
If I bought her gift early, I could be found guilty of “shopping”! Not good! I don’t like shopping. Shopping is not good for men. It is S-O-O-O feminine!
However, with each tick of the clock, the nature of the event changes…a little more estrogen is drained out and a little more testosterone is injected in. Experience tells me that if I wait long enough, it won’t even be shopping at all!
Two days ago, finding something for my wife transformed from an obligation into a challenge.
Yesterday, I began to feel the first pangs of the fear of failure. The thought that ‘I HAVE to come through’ began to fill my consciousness.
Today, I am starting to feel pressure. Breathing is becoming slightly more difficult. But…
I can’t do anything tonight. Immediately after work, I will be with Grammy, Grandpa and my two youngun’s.
Tomorrow, finding a Christmas gift for my wife will require a MAN!
Shoot, if I wait until tomorrow afternoon, I will end up being a HERO!
Yeah, not today…
