Manic Monday--The Original!!

For the holidays, are you a last-minute shopper or do you shop well ahead of time?

A little of both. This year, I did virtually no shopping during the year, so it's all NOW. That's fine. I'm feeling remarkably unstressed about it. There are always giftcards!

If you had to pick a new first name for yourself, what name would you choose?

At this point, I'd just make it easy and go with Cat.

What's worse: having expectations that are too high, or having no expectations at all?

I think having no (well, or 'low') expectations of others is the way to go. You're always surprised and pleased when they are achieved and surpassed. On the other hand, I think having high(ish) expectations of yourself is good, as long as you don't get hung up on them, or overly tied to them.
