shell2784 You mean you have all these ideas of things to do and yet you just push them off because you can't find the motivation to do it? It's going to happen until you stop it from happening. One day, you just have to get off your bum bum and do it! I suffer from...

shell2784 I think that any time you take the time to pick out a gift for someone else, it's fine. Even though you "usually" do it one way, doesn't mean this way isn't ok. I do hope she enjoys the treat, understands that you're both just busy and is happy that once...
