The Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse is saddling up and the flesh-eating zombies are getting hungry. What are you spending your remaining time doing? I'm wasting mine on EB. And complaining about being pregnant and uncomfortable. Anyone else doing something more constructive?

Well I should be cleaning bathrooms and ironing 20 gazillion white napkins for Christmas Day....but since we won't get to Xmas day why bother. I'm going to hide myself in the pantry and eat all the rum balls instead ..... Happy apocalypse day!

Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt
Dinner out with some friends. With the intention of celebrating the end of the Mayan calendar

Re painting the interior of the house. Building up the courage to tackle the shopping centers for the last couple of presents I need. I will be highly p*ssed if the world ends and my family don't get to see all the hard work DH and I have put in to the house in recent months!!!!

Con Sprezzatura.
Well, on my to-do list I have scintillating things like: - Review essay guidelines documents - Apply for CPE - Re-enrol for 2013 - Organise all childcare for next year - Finalise Christmas shopping What I'm really likely to do is stuff around on the computer a lot, eat too much chocolate, and get frustrated because my creative writing project isn't doing what I wanted it to.

Keeping all mention of this out of my seven year old's line of sight is my priority. It's freaking him out so much - especially the references to it that just assume the onlooker is adult and knows it's a joke. And it crops up in the most unexpected places - an ad in the current National Geographic magazine being the example that triggered his anxiety about it.
