Am I Really that Desperate?
By Polly | November 17, 2006
I love the show Desperate Housewives, but after last week’s episode I may have to reconsider….
I was all settled in my nice big chair in front of the warm fire, legs propped up on the ottoman and a lap full of Christmas cards. I was so proud of myself. I was staying on track with the 8 Weeks to a Frazzle Free Christmas and according to the plan, I was to be working on Christmas cards. It all made perfect sense to me until the very first scene where Bree and her son were listening to Christmas carols and working on Christmas cards. I have always considered myself a nice normal blend between the Bree and Lynette characters, but Sunday’s episode hit a little too close to home. Have I really become a Bree? Have I really become so desperate for control and fearful of chaos that I will start my Christmas cards before Thanksgiving?
Hmmm, no, I don’t think so. Just like Bree, I prefer to consider this an exercise that “puts me in the mood to spread holiday cheer”. After all, spreading joy and self denial have always been two of my best qualities.
