The endless string of last minute events that come together to form my life

It is my best friend's birthday on sunday, and i find myself, as always in a kind of not-enough-time-to-think-of-let-alone-buy-a-gift crisis.

From now till sunday i'm spending 3 of the 4 days with her, the 4th being her birthday. Oh the things i do for friendship.

That leaves me with Friday to think, locate and then finally buy the gift AND in the midsts of all this, I'm hand making a card, which i have a picked a selection of photos out for. This idea has one tiny fault of its own however. Our printer does not work. Not even slightly.

So i've had to send 3 pages of ridiculous pictures of me and my friend and even one of John Mayer in a 'mankini ' to my mother, for her to print of at work. Stellar.

So in reality i have about less than a day to sort out her present.

This is going to be a disaster.
