We Bring the ADD

“Is April too late to send thank you letters from Christmas?”

“Yes. Let me throw these away.”

“No! I’m going to send them.”

“No, you’re not.”

“I will. Just because it’s not on your timeline doesn’t mean I won’t do it.”

“I’m throwing them away.”

“Just put them on the counter [where they've been sitting for three months] and I’ll send them eventually.”

“You know what you should do? You should take a picture of them and post them on your blog and say, ‘Hey guys, thanks for sending us Christmas presents! Sorry I’m too lazy to send you the cards themselves!’”

“You know what? I will do that. Thank you.”

Christmas Thank You Letters

But I will send them. Sometime before Christmas next year.

    Where was your mother when you were growing up? Didn’t she teach you any good manners?

    Shameless!

    E will be a Mensa member, if it’s the last thing we accomplish.

    Lauren, I haven’t sent mine either. Worse, mine aren’t anywhere near as cute as yours are.

    Hmm. Wanna race to see which of us actually follows through first?

    I’ll take mine now, thank you.

    Adderall is your friend. Or at least mine.

    Your mom makes you send her thank you cards? Harsh.

    Although I realize that this is meant to be humorous, procrastination doesn’t equal ADD.
    Many adult ADD’ers do procrastinate, but it is a lot more than just that.

    Hi Kenny;

    Lauren knows that. So do a number of her readers, from personal experience.

    That said, you’ve got quite the interesting blog there, and I’ll definitely be stopping by.
