The Creative Meltdown

Unfortunately, my creative juices can start off like an old diesel but this gal has nothing to crank out today. I’ve got nothing in the garden and landscape design category worthy of your time. Not even a decent recipe to share. I am in a complete panic. My Christmas shopping, baking, you name it – none of it is done. The work piled high on my desk – well, let’s just say I can’t find the bottom. That’s what a two plus week flu can do to you right around the holidays as you trudge through without getting much accomplished. Then panic sets in and boof – it’s the Italian snap! The timing belt breaks – the engine won’t start.

So here’s a surefire remedy for getting through a creative meltdown and the best shot I can give this blog post today - a boost of levity. So to you and me, with the holiday countdown ticking, here are two great jokes I found out there in Cyberspace to keep everyone’s Friday hopping. Enjoy the jokes – I’d say they’re ‘classics.'

"Why is Christmas just like a day at the office? You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit gets all the credit." ~ Unknown

"What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a new job the next day." ~ Phyllis Diller

Have a happy, jolly Friday and I’ll give it my best shot to get the diesel running for at least another week of creative garden design factoids and inspiration. After that, Annie’s going on a productive holiday hiatus. Time for an engine rebuild! Maybe I’ll come back as a hybrid!
