Laying it Out There

Maya Angelou has said:
"You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas lights."

Just for the record: I absolutely LOVE rainy days.
I have never lost luggage, but would probably be fuming about the money
I would have to spend replacing all of that stuff.
I now have a tree that is pre-lit. That should say it all.
(But I will add that before the pre-lit tree I would spend VERY little time untangling lights. They would go in the trash. Even my frugalness couldn't wrestle with such a monstrosity. Although I must say I got quite adept at wrapping them carefully for storage each year.)
What does this say about me? I'm gloomy? Sure, goodness knows I've never been described as "perky". I have little patience -- yes, especially when something is someone else's responsibility. And 3, I have little patience. I don't solve problems well. Unless they are someone else's. I will take the time to help you. But don't bring me your Christmas lights. I'll just go buy you new ones. (And not those fancy LED ones, so don't get any funny thoughts.)
